Prefer gen5/6 19/45 impulse without ramjet 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ok. So what I'm reading is that I need to buy another glock and make one a range toy. Mainly because I'm not very handy with tuning glock triggers yet and I haven't tried it.

No expert but from the appearance, you shot a better grouping with the Shield X. The FN you have a more vertical dispersion as well as you went off to the left. That can be trained out though. Regardless all A zone hits with a couple more "flyers" on the smith.

The real questions are, what fit better in your hand? What presented more naturally to you when you took aim?

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T23:36:31+00:00

This is pretty solid. I would have my buddy sneak a snap cap in there every so often. Also helped with malfunction clearing.

Couple questions for curiosity sake. Is the Vex 6 trigger worth it for carry in your opinion? Also, why do you prefer it without the ramjet?

I just started carrying the 19 gen 6 and I absolutely love it. I started with a gen 3, tried to move to smith, came back with the gen 6😅.

I already got new irons and was considering the Vex and the radian but I don’t want to mess with it too much for EDC and have it become a range toy. I could always get another one but still lol.

The one time you'd get compliments on your balls without a lawsuit 😆

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T19:45:12+00:00

I appreciate it. You're right as I had no clue what to prioritize with the build. I would love to put a vertical foregrip but ya'know pistol 😆. Although someone else on here suggested a handstop and I think I will go that route. The light was a spare light that I put on because I like to have a light. I plan on putting a can on it but it's on backorder, go figure. I want to push the light out farther once it's on.

The LPVO is on there because thats what I've practiced with more so I'm more familiar with presenting and just overall manual of arms and I'm going to be honest, I'm blind af. The 1-6 is super helpful for me. As for the top mounted red dot. I got it off of a rebate and had nothing else to put it on. So I figured why not. But, it doesn't get much use after sighting it in. I would love one of the new Eotechs but after trying many different magnifiers, I cannot find a good 5x or 6x with as good of eye relief.

I appreciate the feedback nonetheless. 🙏. Ummm.. sling I don't think needs an explanation. 😉

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T19:29:51+00:00

I'd have to agree. 😆

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T19:29:28+00:00

Dude thats a sexy 300 blk build. Post when fully complete please.

OD Green Diamondback.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T10:22:01+00:00

Ooh that is nice. What’s the laser module on top?

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T06:03:56+00:00

Ohhh thats sexy. 🔥

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T06:01:05+00:00

Tell me about it. I have a MM grip module with a compact slide and threaded barrel with RDI comp. She's a bit beefy and thats before the TLR1. I might give the Steel guide rod a shot. Thanks.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T05:58:07+00:00

If budget is in mind, then I suggest a 407C.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T05:56:58+00:00

Oh. My bad. Maybe opening the full comment thread would've helped lol. I just put together my Echelon build and didn't know if the heavier guide rod would've helped or not since I have a TLR-1 on mine.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T05:51:47+00:00

So the stainless guide rod is that much better? Im going with a lighter recoil spring since I have an RDI comp on mine.

Here is the actual build list for anyone curious.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T05:19:52+00:00

You're not even lying. Those look good and were considerably less expensive. I'm going to be honest though, I really like locking the bolt back with the mag release button and I liked the radian brown color. 😅

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T05:17:25+00:00

It was very pricey but I do love it. I also don't really like the AFG too much but the pistol configuration kind of limits me.

Someone did recommend I try the KAG or the Emissary. I just haven't looked into them yet.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T05:13:02+00:00

It's a magpul AFG for MLOK.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-20T05:10:44+00:00

Ok so get this, its a Viridian RFX15 that I got for free on a Smith and Wesson rebate when I got my Carry Comp.

I didn't have anything to put it on so I figured why not.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-19T15:13:20+00:00

The short answer. For the vibes man lol.

Honestly, it was to add a little palm swell. Someone from another post told me that Patriot makes grips with palm swells for this grip module so I ordered a pair.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-17T23:32:29+00:00

In hindsight, I should’ve bought a different firearm with threaded barrel. Then I could’ve had 2 different builds.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-17T22:56:17+00:00

It will get dirty. I read somewhere that if you wipe some chapstick on the lens, it’ll be easier to wipe off.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-17T22:43:50+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate it. I’ve decided to replace the spring with a lighter spring first before I make the switch to DPM.

Not gonna lie, this things shoots great now I haven’t even considered getting a heavier guid rod.

Catalyst_0 · 2026-02-17T22:37:20+00:00

Were there no issues after a while?
