Are you seeing any issues with the mags and the metal mag catch? Hearing some rumors that the mag catch is causing issues with the plastic Glock mags.

They are in development. The only ones I've actually seen are in videos from GunCon last month - and they said they MAY be out this year, but they can't say that for certain. I really wanted one for a 17, but decided I didn't want to wait, so I went with a PMM Micro. I will probably still get one whenever they come out.

Just about any of their pistol-specific dots will mount to a Glock 17 with the right slide milling. An EPS Carry is one of the smaller options they make, so it will 100% fit, with room to spare.

How did it jam up? I've only ever had one situation where I threw away a PMAG for not working, it wouldn't strip a round after the first, then it turned out to be an out-of-spec bolt and upper (I know, I hit the jackpot twice in one build).

We have lost a couple of the monthly local matches here in DFW - one range (ETTS) has grown so exponentially since 2020 that they really don't have the capacity to cater to the non-match shooting range attendees and still get a match on the ground every month, and the other range (Triple C - former host of some of the larger national matches like Vortex) was closed by the land owner. But, the remaining local match (TDSA Range) has grown significantly since 2020. We now fill our 48 shooter signup and typically have a waitlist. This might be because of the lack of other matches, but we have seen it grow and have seen a large number of new shooters coming to shoot - so I think the desire for these matches is still there, it's just a challenge to actually get them put together or find a range to run one.

I shoot with a guy that was one of the first VR80 adoptors in our 3 gun scene here in DFW. He has over 7000 rounds through his. If you check out the VR80 Facebook group, he's one of the moderators there. He has also done a number of helpful videos on maintenance and other things specific to the platform - Video Video My personal VR80 Race was built by Tooth and Nail Armory, so it came to me with the modifications Nolan outlined above plus their handguard and mid-barrel compensator. As long as I've chamber checked the ammo, it runs like a top. I'm nowhere near the 7000 round mark, but I expect it to last quite a while. There are a few known failure points - mostly on the slide assembly - THIS PART The "ears" that protrude into the receiver to push the bolt back are known to crack and shear after a while. My buddy is on his second one of these parts - his first one broke during a match about a year ago, he now carries a spare. I have yet to get a spare since they have been out of stock for quite a while.

I would look at the following - DSC Gunworks Chambers Custom (its their proprietary plate, you pick from one of their approved gunsmiths to get it cut. If it was me, this would be the top of my list) Monsoon Tactical

I can't answer your Arredondo question, but Taran Tactical advertises 20+1 for their extensions with 40. I run them on my 9mm mags and never have any issues with them, but don't have first-hand experience with them on anything in 40. TTI Glock Extensions

Got everything installed this morning - BLUE is factory gen 5, BLACK is factory GPT, red is GPT with JG Vex shoe. First line is at rest Second line is at the wall Third line is overtravel stop Fourth black is the additional after slide cycle overtravel for the factory GPT The Vex shoe on the GPT is a pretty great setup. I haven't gotten to shoot it yet, but from the dry fire, it is short and crisp. There is still a bit of "mush" between the wall and break, but its a lot less than factory. I dropped the pistol a few times at a few different angles and onto the back of the slide, and it is still drop-safe.

Yeah, I'm excited to try it out. I'm planning to do the blue painter's tape on the trigger guard trick that JG does in his videos to show how the triggers change. I've been playing with the GPT in my 19x while waiting on my slide, and it by itself is a massive improvement over the OEM. But the first time I rode the reset, I felt the rearward movement after the slide racking - not a fan, but I don't know if I would ever actually notice that when shooting the gun and not trying to feel every part of the trigger. The Vex should remove that, so I imagine it's going to be a pretty sweet setup when it's installed. I also got the competition connector from JG, which appears to be a polished dot connector, which is what my 17 came with, so hopefully it wasn't a waste of $30.

I'm waiting on my slide to come back from getting milled to install this setup in my new 17. I've put the GPT in a 19x just to play with it, but haven't installed the JG Vex shoe yet, I want to do a comparison between the OEM, GPT, then GPT+VEX with the gun it's going to be staying in.

Can I ask from where? I've had at least 2 suppliers not send emails, one of them has done it twice now - instead choosing to post something on social media.

Seeing this A LOT with this 507 Comp release for whatever reason. I've had multiple distributors post on social media that they have gotten a small shipment of the red dots, but they are not sending the in-stock notification emails I've signed up for. By the time I see the social media post, they are sold out. If I were to get the actual notification I signed up for, I probably would have gotten one weeks ago at this point. I ended up getting an SRO.

I have to use a small dot - I have an astigmatism so it blows the dot out a lot larger than its actual size. I appreciate when they offer a small size, like a 2 moa, but it is odd that they don't offer something larger as another option.
