Gen 5 needs a hair more spring power due to increased distance between barrel lug and slide. Keep that in mind if limited gun it previous gen.
Those light weight springs are wild to me. 15lb Wolff has treated me very well. Don’t see the point in going lower. Some increased ‘performance’ at the cost of reliability Aint it (for me). Too many spring changes per year!
But also I shoot 124 and feel exact same as above, juice isn’t worth the squeeze. I’ll just learn to shoot what I’ve got better and be done with it.

Wow. Light for a gen 5
-
What spring weight? Wondering if you are on the edge of reliability.
Understand it worked 4 years.
-
See above.
gen 5 barrels are fantastic, more so than previous

Just me but.... I'd just shoot Glock you like best ALL THE TIME. Keep the other for a backup. It's not like you can wear a Glock out!
This response is on point.
I shoot one gun all of the time, and have another as a just in case back up. Originally had some plan to share the workload between match and practice guns but the new gun has remained in pristine condition for quite a while.

I'm sold on the TTI GM kit I'll order some. I'm still going back and forth on the Henning vs TT mag extensions.. analysis paralysis! It sounds like either are GTG and I can't make a wrong choice.
Where do you order your Wolff striker and RP plunger springs?
Yeah a great Grip will "fix" many a trigger issue
Thanks for the explanation regarding the TTI connector! I was wondering how it differs from the glock minus connector.
Just buy TTI while on sale this weekend. Great bang for buck.
Springs directly from wolff. Once a year order everything up and I’m set.
apex uses their own trigger bar and connector. I like the feel of the shoe a lot, otherwise it’s just a Glock trigger. Ben made a YouTube vid recently about the apex + TTI combo, his experience is worth a lot more than mine but I also like the setup.

Just get a MOS, throw on a FCD plate and optic of your choice, the tti connector kit/polish job, a talon grip and let it rip.
yep, this is sound advice.
TTI extensions have treated me well, I use them for practice. On sale this weekend. Get a few and the GM kit while your at it.
Henning fits the gauge better, he doesn’t quite play that extreme fine line on length that most others seem to.
For reference I used the TTI GM kit for a while and now just use Wolff 4.5 striker and RP plunger. I’m opposite of a trigger snob though. Grip and rip, easy to get lost in how they feel while fiddling in basement then a few bill drills later I couldn’t tell you how smooth the trigger is.
At some point I’ll try the GPT, wonder why the TTI connector makes it good? Essentially it’s a longer minus connector, moving the break rearward and reducing over travel.
-
Henning extensions are very nice.
TTI kit is a simple way to do things. Will be very reliable, it’s about 4.5# striker spring.
MOS with FCD plate has yet to let me down. Haven’t shot direct mill and MOS side by side to compare index.

I change springs once a year.
Mags springs, recoil springs
I use MBX ultra max spring and followers.
TTI, MBX and Taylor Freelance extensions with the ultra max springs get me 24+1
MBX ultra and TTI gives 24+1?
right out of the package? Reliable? Etc. looking to acquire a few 24+1 and this seems like most cost effective.
people speak highly of henning, but I’ve never had hands on one.
-
Since it seems to happen often, that is sort of a blessing.
I would remove the plastic hold down triangle piece at the primer station. Then load as usual, perhaps slowly. Watch for a primer each case.
when no primer, stop! Don’t let the handle back up yet. Try and look at the bottom of primer tube and see what you’ve got. Sideways? Stuck? Oblong primers not dropping freely?
a slow 100 rounds might give some clues, and if looking for primers you won’t make a mess of powder

what other basepad/springs do you have good experience with? I might just make it a dedicated +6 and change the spring and follower over to an MBX if i can.
TTI has worked well. I’ve picked up a handful during sales. For a while I used oem followers in CO. I hate the 140mm and trying to jam extra rounds..but that’s another topic.
all my training mags are TTI with oem followers now. Fits 22 and is 100% reliable. 24+1 has its perks in matches though

What specifically aren’t you impressed with on these base pads?The extensions themselves are fine. The spring and follower are my complaints. The spring is very weak, I assume smaller diameter so that you can cram more capacity in there.
I’ve never been able to fit 25, as they are advertised for. Customer service was not very helpful. Says you need some kind of special diameter ammo and offered no real support.
-
I have 3 of those basepads. They suckered me with marketing, not overly impressed. But anyways..
you should have extra springs they come with? Compare length to the bad one. Had the spring collapsed? Or did it get hung up in mag tube?
I assume it must be shorter, especially of you did the fill it up and let it sit the days method. Not sure how much shorter it ‘should’ be.
if I were buying just springs MBX seems like a good bet. But who knows if they fit the follower.

What reliability issues did you experience with the GPT?
not so much reliability issues with the GPT, I should not have lumped them together in previous comment.More of the changing feel, increased weight and grit, as round count increases. Again, I just rather have plain and simple where it stays the same and I don’t have to clean it too often.

Is anyone using the Apex kit? (Trigger, bar, and connector)
My main setup is Apex kit, Wolff 4.5 striker, reduced power plunger.
big improvement over stock as far as reduced pull weight. I don’t care about lightest possible or clean break. I want simple and reliable. Apex is 100% for shoe feel on finger, save money and just do minus connector if you want.
Timney and GPT reliability issues are no go for me. Timney weak reset was awful. Johnny Glocks too expensive. Simple is best for me.
-
Does double feed mean failure to extract? Hard for a pistol magazine to do a true double feed
-
HP38 works well for me
-
Leave the extractor spring alone.
a 15lb recoil spring is likely all you need. Just to lower required force a hair.
small sample size but found the S2 barrel to be faster then Glock even though it is shorter. Older gen Glocks seem to be faster than gen 5 too
-
There are a few things to love about the gen 5’s, barrel is definitely one of them.
magwell and trigger return spring ain’t bad either.
-
.388 and .378 should do

34 slide is the same weight as the 17 slide, that's what the cutout is for. If you think the slide moves slower it's an illusion / confirmation bias.
34's longer barrel gives you more velocity, worth 1 or 2 tenths of a grain of a fast powder. I suppose it's worth nothing if you shoot factory.
I would get a 34 mostly because I've had one for 20 years and am very accustomed to it, and I see no advantages to a 17 other than 50-ish bucks of sticker price.
11 hours ago, robchavous said:Gen 5 34s don't have the cut out.
gen 5 had material removed under the MOS plate and elsewhere around the inside of slide. You can see comparing them or vs a g17.
34 weights .55oz more than 17. Bare slides, gen 5. Based on my own measurements.
g34 weighs more all said and done with extra barrel length.
as mentioned previously, they are very similar to me. Nothing that’s going to make or break the scores.
-
I can hardly perceive the slower slide on 34 vs 17, but that just me. Have one of each but 34 has been the main gun. In training there is no magic in either one.
I do find it Intereting seeing Ben Stoeger with the 34’s. The conversation of shorter slide to pair with optics is very popular.
