But the slide still says 92FS, and it has no safety, so an overly exuberant inspection at a match could be trouble. That said, I haven't heard of it being an issue, so maybe my worries are unwarranted. Or not.

In my experience creep doesn't go away. It may get smoother, but it's always going to be there. That said, can you say you're feeling it when you're pulling the trigger on the clock? I like nice triggers as much as the next guy, but when I'm shooting a course of fire, unless the trigger is ridiculously heavy, or the reset is ridiculously long, I can't say what the trigger felt like while I was pulling it.

The one I have works fine, but only holds 22 rounds. Same with the Dawson units. On a .40 S&W mag, they'll both hold 20 and be reloadable, same as the Arredondos on a .40 S&W mag.

Arredondo extensions ain't sexy, aluminum, brass, heavy, or colorful, but they work. Just like the Glock they're feeding. Added bonus, they're easy to remove for cleaning with the provided tool.

I had a Dawson extension that would hold 23, but getting it into the gun with the slide forward was a royal pain. The brass Taylor Freelance extension I have for Glock mags would take 23 rounds, but wouldn't go into the gun at all. These are on old Glock mags with old springs.

Don't have TTI extensions on my Glock, but on my M&P they hold 23 and are easily reloadable. Same gun and Taylor Freelance brass extension also holds 23, and is easily reloadable. On my Glock, I have some old Arredondo extensions that hold 23 and are easily reloadable.

Or for a S&W M&P, where it would be a serious chunk of metal

Amen!!

Yeah, read the whole post. But saying some companies are selling less than good products, without naming the companies isn't useful info, it's a rant. I have no issue with rants, done them myself. But I recognize that while they can be entertaining,, they're not usually very useful to others

My Springfield Armory 9mm will feed from any in spec magazine, 9 or 10 round. If it didn't I would fix it so it worked as it should. Tripp 9mm mags let the top round slide forward and usually won't drop from the gun if there are any rounds left on the magazine. They feed fine, but since so much of Single Stack shooting is reloading, they're not usefull to me. This is a Tripp magazine issue, not my gun. So I don't use Tripp mags in my 9mm 1911. But Tripp mags work great in my .40 S&W 1911. Go figure.

So, just a rant then... Thanks for nothing.

Yeah, flush safeties and a wraparound grip that's not as flimsy as the one they include with the gun.

If you're happy with the Vertec grip, go with the Performance. If you don't like the Vertec grip, get one of the others. Reason being the wraparound grip Beretta provides with the Performance is junk, and you'll have to heavily modify a Hogue grip to get a good version. Performance is a great gun, but it's been over two years and nobody has made a decent wraparound grip yet.

My problem with the Vertec grip is it feels like a rake handle, too round. Just squirms around in my hand. And points weird. Maybe too many years shooting Glocks, who knows... I tried getting used to it, but it never feels right. I'll just use my home-made wraparound conversion grips until someone comes out with something better.

And include a G10 wraparound grip module similar to this, but done professionally, without the slight gap in the rear...

Yeah, I'm not spending another $150.00 to find out I have to file them down..., again.

And only another $150.00... Why were these not available when Beretta made the gun available in America, where the USPSA Production box is a thing?

I'm here as living proof that lack of talent us the biggest killer of speed. Weight is the second biggest killer of speed...

Yeah, but that's like work man, and what fun is that?

There's a thread here about a cat making a tungsten guide rod as fat/heavy as possible. He goes into the headaches of what it takes to turn one on a lathe, it's apparently rough on tooling to the point you're replacing the cutting parts frequently. Pure tungsten guiderods are like $120.00 at the Glock Store vs like $60.00 for the alloyed tungsten ones.

Tungsten density is like 11 oz/cubic inch. It will add up quick.

Does anyone know of a source for the segments of rail used on the DAA PDR2 holster? I'm looking to set up a belt that allows me to install a couple of different holsters on the mount. Thanks.

I use a cheap disposable poncho. But my cart is a home-grown vertical model, similar to the ridiculously expensive Zuca carts, not sure it would work on one of the longer carts. Be cheap enough to try without a huge loss if it doesn't work though.

It'd be nice if DAA sold segments of the rail on their PDR2 holster so people could quickly adapt the mount for several holsters. I can fashion an adapter for the different hole patterns, but the rail has what amounts to a rail type groove on each side, which isn't easily duplicated at home.

Does that lower have a bolt catch?
