Shot a local match, and got a range day in with the new mag. I initially could only get 22 in the mag, but have left it loaded a few times now, can now get 23 in it. 23 in the mag is loose enough that i can seat the mag in the gun, while in battery. Will try to get 24 in it later today. I plan to order a few more of these mags. One ‘problem’ i noticed at my local match, the mag is narrower than a factory mag. I have CR Speed mag pouches, set up for shooting my Q5 SF in production. I have to crank the pouch screw down to even remotely hold the mag, will probably need to find the CR Speed shims to change them…

I had limited time at the range, only ran a mag full through it. So not enough data yet…

I received my MBX mag from Benstoeger Proshop. I will put some rounds through it today. I am concerned about the mag, as it gets extremely close to the ejector. It doesn’t appear to touch it, but it looks like it could if the mag was ‘over inserted’ during a match. If the mag runs well, I’ll use it at matches, but I won’t use it to reload the gun… I’ll try to add a photo later from the PC.

Anyone have an update on the MBX magazine ? I ordered one from Ben Stoeger Proshop to trial/test….

I’m using these on my PM-9. I like them a lot. https://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/Browse-by-Manufacturer/Techwell-/Grips/Techwell-Aluminium-Checkered-Grip

Another vote here of potentially riding the slide stop. I’m especially bad about doing it anytime I shoot a Glock with extended controls. Also, I use a Wolff Glock 12# recoil spring on the factory rod with the bunny fart loads.

I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on the plate.

I have an SRO on each of mine. I wanted to try the Romeo 3 max, but I worried about reliability.

I felt like they were about the same. And because of that, coupled with no double action, or trigger return springs to worry about, and the grip fits my hands better, I went all in on the Walther.

I’m using a Wolff 12# Glock spring on the factory guide rod. You will have to open the end of the spring with a pair of pliers.

I like the kit, but I also did a lot of work at one sitting to the trigger. I drilled and taped the sear housing, polished all the contact surfaces, and added the spring kit. The combination of all the above made it very nice, 3 pounds or so, and still a decently forceful reset.

I got the call from Earl’s yesterday to pay for mine. They said they were in customs, and should ship the first or second week of September. Side note, three weeks to clear customs?! Jeez......

I have had all of the CZ’s. Shadow 1 and 2. They shoot great, but for me, my trigger finger touches my support hand while shooting, I never cared for it. I picked up a Q5 SF on a whim, and loved it. Added a sprinco trigger kit, it just works for me. It’s a very accurate gun, easily shooting an inch and a half @25, with syntech 124’s. I liked it so much, I sold my Shadows, and bought another Q5 SF. It is now my production and carry optics pistol of choice.

I ended up buying the standard bogies, I can’t recommend them enough.

I’ve been looking at Lok grips, and I’m looking for some opinions from folks who have purchased. I like the factory shape, so I won’t be getting the thin grips. How do the bogies compare palm swell wise to the factory grips? Are the checkered grips "grippy" enough to justify the purchase? Thanks.
