G17raider Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I've been doing quite a bit of dry fire practice lately and I've noticed that my frame's mag insertion area (instead of "magwell" as it may confuse some as an aftermarket one) is getting a little chewed up by missed mags. Should this be a concern? What can I do other than no miss the well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Take an X-Acto knife to it to smooth out the ridges. For me, used Glocks reload easier than new Glocks because of the modification of practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPSCDRL Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Funny, the Glock in your avatar wears a well. Just keep practicing, you'll get better. A worn well is a sign of practice and usually progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Get some snap-caps to use as dummy round (don't try anything else that could be confused for real ammo by mistake). Having them in the magazine when you practice reloads will help to funnel the mag in...and not let it ding things up so much. Oh...the other thing would be to just miss the hole less. Seriously...instead of making speed the driving factor...make "seeing the mag well" the driving factor. Also, just practice by bringing the mag right to the point of insertion, but don't insert it. An added benefit of this is you can work on building in the "pause". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerjg Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Or just stop CHEWING on your gun. Its prob not good for you. Id try the snap caps or the dummy ammo. You can get dummy ammo Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 What do you expect? It's plastic. Trim it down with an razor as mentioned. Pretty soon your gun has a modified frame and is illegal for production. Then you can get a new one and start all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G17raider Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Funny, the Glock in your avatar wears a well. Actually, that's my L10 setup. But right now I'm aiming for production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcoliver Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Ever considered just practicing on your L10 setup (so you can chew it's replaceable magwell)? They're both glocks with the same mag chute opening anyway, right? And before you think it , I know a magwell can help in reloads...only if you keep practicing on hitting it. Practice hitting the hole instead, like Flex said. Btw, try Matt B's (or was it Steve A's?), reload pause at the magwell excercise. It really helps.

I think I saw that on Barnhart's videos...or, was it in Brians' book...or, maybe Bonedaddy posted it long ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg5 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Matt B. has it in his videos. It does really help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
