You're using that in a Gen5 with the Marksman barrel?  I would've bet good money that the long fat bullet would stick in the very short throat of that barrel.  I've seen 135 Hornady FlexLocks stick in Gen5's....

Yes sir. Gen 5 with the Marksman barrel. I probably have 2000 rounds through it with syntech 150's with no issues so far... knock on wood.

I use the Federal Syntech 150 grain in mine and they shoot very well. 

[Best .308 AR10 barrel?]

Check out T Box barrels.

[Best training books or dvds.]

Ben Stoeger's books are great. I also listen to the Make Ready Podcast and Shoot Fast Podcast. They have lots of good info. 

[How many of you shoot more than one devision often]

I shoot limited as my main division but recently began shooting PCC as well.

Just get a 9mm conversion mags and practice for cheaper, you will get more benefit from practice than a marginally more accurate barrel.

I already have a KKM 9mm conversion. I got it with the gun when I bought it, just havent used it yet. I was mostly just wondering how the OEM compares to the KKM in the same caliber and if it is worth going for.

Some differences are outlined in this thread: https://sigtalk.com/sig-sauer-rifles/341074-mpx-pcc-competition-changes.html#/topics/341074

 

Think I sent a message to ILWT as to a spares kit tailored for the Gen3 MPX.  Obviously having an identical backup gun is preferred but would be a bit pricey compared to a few parts that can be field replaceable.

Thanks. And yes, I have thought about getting another MPX as a backup anf I probably will eventually but it may be a while still.

It’s still a gen 2 since there’s not an official gen 3. The parts for the gen 2 works for the new PCC.

 

I have an 8” gen and the new PCC model. I have swapped the bcg to find out if each work on either gun and they do. 

Awesome good to know. This is kind of what I was thinking but I feel better knowing you tried the parts in the 2 and they work. I appreciate it.

[Sig MPX PCC spares]

I recently bought the newest MPX PCC and I am looking to get some spares to keep on hand. About the only place I have found with a good variety of parts is In Lead We Trust. I do have a question regarding generations. Is the new PCC considered a gen 3 or is it still gen 2? Forgive my ignorance as I am still very new to this platform. The reason I ask is on In Lead We Trusts website, all of the parts are either gen 1 or gen 2. I have not been able to find a spare complete bolt so far either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[KKM barrel quality over stock]

I've tried several aftermarket, drop in barrels over the years. I've tried them in multiple Glocks. I've never had any success in finding one more accurate than OEM. Everytime, the OEM was more accurate. 

 

The problem with asking this question here is, you're going to get different answers and you're not gonna know why.  Some random person saying something on a gun forum isn't really gonna be the best info. Everyone is gonna have an opinion and they're not all gonna be all that solid.  

 

I'd recommend (random guy on the gun forum) stick with factory and just practice. I can tell you from experience the glock, with factory barrel, will not hold you back from reaching GM level!

Thanks!

They are more accurate.

I appreciate it. I started shooting USPSA about 9 months ago shooting limited minor with what I had. I am a high C class 58% trying to get to B. I know I will stick with it so I am wanting my Glock 35 set up right from the get go. I don't plan on being a national champion because with my job that would never happen. I work offshore for months at a time and cannot do any training during that time. I am in it for the fun and learning, but I still want my equipment to be able to perform as best as possible.

[KKM barrel quality over stock]

I will be shooting a Glock 35 in USPSA limited. I was wondering if anyone knows if the KKM barrels are any more accurate than the stock barrels. Just a side note I do not reload and shoot all factory ammo.

[Gen 5 Glock 17 spring setup]

I run a 13# recoil spring and a 4.5# striker spring in my gen 5 17's.  Gen 5's are bullet profile picky, so I wouldn't load the boat on those syntechs without shooting some through your gun first.

Roger that. Good to know. 

[Gen 5 Glock 17 spring setup]

I currently shoot limited major but I am thinking about dabbling in production for a little while to see how I like it. I have a Gen 5 Glock 17 and I do not reload... I work overseas offshore so my time home is limited. I will most likely use Federal Syntech 150's. What would be a good recoil spring weight to start with and also what striker spring would I need to go with it? I am familiar with how striker fired pistols work but I am not sure how low of a recoil spring I could go with before I would have to change the striker spring. Thanks.
