I just got the Bul 1911 Classic and will be putting in some quality non MIMed parts. Wanted the Trophy Classic but OOS everywhere. Only issue is the Classic doesn't have adjustable rear sight so that maybe a no go for some. The Trophy Classic is about $700-$800 more. I figure after the upgrades the cost will be close between the two. Maybe another option to look into if you like tinkering and upgrading.

I got the Techwell IPSC SP magwell, works and looks great! You will have to get their grips or modify your existing to use the magwell though. https://techwellusa.com/nickel-plated-techwell-ipsc-sp.html

It's smooth from what I can tell. The rattling happens when the bolt hits the breach and the buffer slams into the buffer detent not during the cycling if that makes sense?

I'm using the Taccom ULW buffer with a 20% reduce spring. Everytime it cycles there's a loud rattling noise. Any tips on how to reduce the rattling noise or does it come with using this buffer setup?

G45 MOS or G17 MOS

I have an Omen slide on my G19 and it uses 4-40 x 1/4 screws.

If you're going to be doing a lot of polishing and projects I suggest getting a Dremel with a power cord instead of a rechargeable one and a flexible shaft. It allows for more control especially with small parts. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J2H4T31/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks for the update! Will look into FA when I'm ready to mill out my slide. Enjoy your new optic!

Let us know how your P365 slide turns out with the 407k. I'm thinking about getting mine milled out as well.

Just what I needed, thank you!

Man I'm glad I did some research before ordering the K series. Was about to pull the trigger on one thinking it would use the RMR footprint, doh. Well with the Trijicon/Holosun lawsuit they may have to make their own foot print going forward.

Check out videos from "abyss1232" on Youtube for polishing and installing CGW parts. His videos were really helpful when upgrading my CZs.

I had the same issue with my G17 it turned out to be the slide stop/release spring. I bent the spring out to have more tension and it fixed it. Give it a shot before you buy a new one.

Being in California I have a lot of Gen 3s and a few Gen 5s. I actually like the feel of the Gen 3s better with the finger grooves and blockier grips. All other things are not as important to me because I modify all my Glocks anyways (trigger, Magwell, grips, slide, etc..). If I were to compare them stock, the Gen 5s have a slightly better trigger. If you're a lefty go with Gen 5s for the ambi slide release and ability to swap mag release.

I have Brownells slides on a few Glocks and haven't had any issues. You can catch them on sale for less than $200 at times and use discount codes for a good deal.
