The GX holsters are great products. I have a couple of them but I wouldn't wait most of a season to get one. Guns come and go too fast sometimes. When I buy a competition gun it means I want to shoot it and not have it sit waiting for a holster.
What would you recommend instead for a Kydex of similar quality? For an Atlas Athena if that makes any difference.
-
Any of the kydex holsters with retention will work..they all, at least should, accomplish the same goal. Hold the gun in the holster in a safe manner and allow for a relatively quick draw. Even a T-Rex Arms holster will do that, but GX Holster has a different feel to it and locking mechanism that can be achieved by adding a clamp.
-
With most things rising in price, are they still worth it? I suppose thats a subjective question...and I suppose I am also looking for validation after I placed my deposit for my first Athena haha.
-
Just placed an order for my first Athena, thanks for asking this question.

I'll each others on Kore belts. Solid belt. It's interesting to hear others experience with a more flexible belt though

I had issues with a 13# with a Timney and Glock Perf trigger, there is some force needed to push the slide to battery and capture the striker in those systems, 14# does the trick for me with a normal G17 slide, but my 17L needs more power than a 14#. I am trying 15# next or a clipped factory RS
Interesting, I've been running (maybe 300 rounds) the 13# with Timney and 4.5# striker spring no issues so far. But I do have a Zev slide, maybe the "lighter" slight made a difference? Or just Glock tolerances

Great thanks.
Have same holster, works great with my G17/SRO. I don't see in any way that it would be in the way of the BROS.

Yes, I have them in my 34.4's,17.3 & 17.5. They weigh in at 1.8 oz or so iirc
Ended up returning the Carver due to it sticking pass the butt of the frame too far.
bought a Taylor freelance Seattle snail that added a bit more weight and was flush.

That’s what I thought going into it, but I’ve tried a number of holsters and they don’t fit (BOSS, Comptac international, Bladetech signature).
I’d prefer not to dremel if there’s a factory option.
Where are they binding up on the holster?

I ran a G34.5 for a while and my favorite, most accurate trigger was a TTI/Wolf 4.5# striker spring and a dot connector. I ended picking up a G19.5 a few weeks ago and went with a Wolff #5 and the factory dot connector. Makes a pretty nice trigger in Glock land for my tastes.
The only thing I'd consider is a JohnnyGlock kit because he polishes the hell out of everything and runs a tuned Lone Wolf connector with a steeper angle for more of a "wall" similar to a + connector.
Con concur, the Combat Evolution + the Vex shoe makes a really nice trigger

Check out SuperVel.

A lighter striker spring is used in a stock(-ish) trigger to reduce the pull weight. When the trigger is reset the striker is not fully cocked like a 1911 hammer would be. As you pull the trigger you pull the striker back and compress the striker spring.
With a Timney trigger the striker is fully to the rear and the spring is compressed. Pulling the trigger releases the striker.
A heavier striker spring will mean a better hit on the primer, plus should add a bit of recoil absorption. Don't think there would be any advantage to a light striker spring with the Timney.
Note: I am not a gunsmith nor do I play one on television.
Copy. So what do you play on television then?

I’d recommend returning to using a stock spring.
Mind if I ask why? So far, haven't had any issues with the 4.5. But I'd rather avoid any potential problems if you suggest otherwise

So is the GLOCK FIRING PIN SPRING 5 LB the factory weight spring?
If I recall correctly, stock is 5.5lbs. I run a 4.5 in my gen 3 with a Timney.

Thanks! Have one on the way.

Out of curiosity, Why are you looking for a stronger one?

From the best that I was able to determine it’s that if the recoil spring is too light in a striker fired gun that the act of pressing the trigger / cocking the striker could pull the gun slightly out of battery making it at risk for apotentially dangerous situation.
Ah, that does make sense. Since the striker is being pulled back.

If you lower the recoil spring weight, why do you also need a softer striker spring? I’m not seeing how the the two correlate.
I know that Wolff includes a striker spring with all their GLOCK springs, but they said it was just out of courtesy as they feel it’s an overlooked maintenance item. They’re also reported to be just stick weight springs.
Something to do with the balance of the springs, others may chime in with better knowledge

Try the Carver brass plug, sold seperate but gets used for his magwell. Highly recommend.
Thank you!
may seem like a stupid question, but this can be used without the magwell right for CO?

My current CO gun is a gen 2 G17. Replaced mag release with extended release. Steel recoil system. Brass grip plug. Milled for C-more rts2. Done. Works great. I love the smooth front strap on the gen 2 guns, and I love the old school dust cover with no rail. I have G19-3 and filed off the finger bumps immediately.
mind if I ask which brass grip plug your using? The only weighted one I can find for gen 1-3 is the Thug Plug
-
Thanks for the video! Not sure if I'll personally go through the hassle of getting it to work with a Gen 3 as I haven't had any issues with my Timney. Looking forward to trying out the spring though.

Those of you having reset issues, game changer for me was replacing the red return spring with a stronger torsion spring. The reset is wonderfully positive now, no need to tinker with the connector so often. I had to buy a bunch to offset the shipping, that's the only bad part lol
Mind sharing details on that spring? Does it also increase the pull weight?

Yikes, I may have to pick up something in the meantime as it sounds like its not coming for a minute.
Shooters Global is a great alternative. Not sure if their shipping is any faster, as I got mine second hand. But it's a great timer and the app is great

I've tried the Carnivore holster previously, and if I remember correctly, there was some movement/rocking when locked at least on my G17. Am I remembering correctly?
