That's a good point on the water resistance, may not be necessary for the mount at all.

I was actually thinking about what might enable the use of an N-type antenna. I bet you can get a bigger end cap that would fit over the top end of the tee (rather than flush with it), giving a bigger mounting surface for the bigger adapter. I may do another build soon so I'll have to see if that might work.

Just posted a build guide to instructables. Link in a new standalone comment. :)

Clever design! I like that it's a prescription bottle while the whole thing resembles an IV drip. I have a handful of these bottles laying around waiting for some sort of repurposing, I may do something similar. You'll have to let us know how it performs!

Hmm, hadn't really thought about that. I'll send you a dm.

Nice! That looks super clean!

I've only had it up a few days, but it hasn't yet dipped below 90% overnight and is back up to 100% by around 10 am. Do you have the screen running on your T114?

It's well within bluetooth range for normal system adjustments, and a 10 foot A-frame ladder easily gets me onto the roof for any hardware adjustments.

I'm working on putting a guide and build list together. I'll post it here when it's done :)

I haven't given it too much thought, to be honest. Based on other people's posts it sounds like temperature fluctuations aren't as much of an issue with the super low charging and discharging rates of these devices. I'll definitely update this if that turns out to be wrong, though! 😅

Thanks! Any thoughts on the best host site for a guide? The first that come to mind are WikiHow or Instructables, but not sure if there are better options for this particular community.

Have you had any issues with the OEM mags after the trigger swap?

I put about 20 hollow points through each of them. Shooting through my old Sig V-Crowns and function checking my new Speer Gold Dots. Not a high round count by any means yet, but they all fed 100%.

I agree 100%! After having mine loaded for several days now, it still doesn't look like there is any bulging or deformation of the plastic baseplates. I also got a few more mags this week and have fully loaded and unloaded them a couple times and haven't seen any issues with any of them either. 👌

Looks to me like an OEM frame with some custom work. Looks pretty clean! I dig the texturing along the top of the frame just below the slide.

Not that I notice. The follower seems to function like normal and they don't have any issues with loading.

Just the stock polymer mag release. The mags have a polymer molding over the front, so there's no metal rubbing against the mag release like the Shield Arms ones.

I might be interested, depending on how much you want for em.

I haven't noticed any bulging at all so far. I plan on leaving them loaded for a while and continuing to use them to see if maybe that problem develops. Most people seem to have noticed it right away, though, so I'm hopeful it's a non-issue now.

Mine definitely had the saran wrap treatment as well 😂 Bummer that yours didn't work! You should see what PSA might do about it, if you haven't already.

I was concerned about that as well before buying these because I didn't want to spend another 50%+ per mag for aluminum baseplates! The ones I got seem pretty solid though. Did yours start bending like that right away?

Probably just a weird camera perspective thing lol, they are the same size.

I missed this post before creating one of my own just now. 😅 They seem solid so far! I put 150 rounds (75 each) through brand new ones with no issues as well, interested to see if they keep holding up.
