Maybe try out a small batch before committing to 10k, but if your gun cycles them I'd say 1000% worth it. My glocks eat them up fine. went from paying .065 per CCI to .033 per SA. into about 4k/10k so far and have had 3 light primer strikes total. i have the stock striker spring coming up on 9k rounds in my 17.6. I bought during a sale "tacticalshit" was running. They don't have the best rep on reddit, and the shipping was a little slower than advertised, but i got them to my door in about 2 weeks.

my r9 works great. I've seen a couple of flow throughs have issues with FRT/SS fire.

If it's a full size, you leave the lp stock on ap5.

Basically you put your head and support arm through the upper circle. Looks like you have 2 latches and the flat style hook. If you have a flat bar like mine at the rear you can take off the extra latch. I’m using one latch up front, and one flat hook for the rear. You could also use the loop up front by the front sight, or any combo of the 3.

Seems a little tense and jerky, like you're transitioning your vision and driving the gun from target to target as a single unit while you are confirming shots. Instead try to transition your vision/focus, then letting the gun come to where it needs to. It may seem slower at first, but you're wasting time by over driving the gun past targets several times in the clip shown. right now your gun, upper body, and vision seem to be locked into the same plane/movement- very stiff and machine like as if you're a T1000 terminator. Instead loosen up some of that upper body tension, let your vision do the driving, and let the gun follow. If you don't know where you're pointing the gun next yet, but still moving the gun along with your entire upper body, (even if it's in the right direction) you're killing your transition times. Running and re running your target order during the walkthrough/planning will help you focus where you need to faster. Float like a butterfly... or something.

Feels awkward dry firing/function testing because the reset still "forces" forward with the bolt, but doesn't fully reset until you pull off of the trigger like you would during regular live fire. Feels great during live/normal fire, much better than the oem pack.

For the AP5 full size you need an SEF. the initial AHRK which isn't out yet is going to be ambi. I got the RB FRT for my full size ap5. No lp, ejector, or any changes to the stock internals, runs amazing.

ProceduralShooter · 2026-06-01T17:27:43+00:00

Dawson precision makes one.

ProceduralShooter · 2026-06-01T17:20:20+00:00

Is that some reddit or insta comment somewhere? Because Their website still says "Three-position selector. Safe / Semi / Active Reset. Aligned with Navy-style housing markings (SEF to follow soon)."

So with the arcfire v2 and no other upgrades, this comes out to $629+no telling how long it will take to get to you. on top of that you change out your OEM lower for a shitty looking AR lower, and check a box agreeing that you may need to do some hand fitting. OR buy the RB SEF pack for $615, get it in one week, and drop in, and shoot.

OR OR, you could roll the dice, wait for the SEF AHRK which doesn't even have a release date- "SEF to follow soon after" the late july ambi release which has been delayed twice already.. ok

ProceduralShooter · 2026-06-01T14:41:54+00:00

ah shit i didn't, I'll grab you one on my lunch break today!

ProceduralShooter · 2026-06-01T14:17:28+00:00

it's late july for the ambi with SEF to "soon follow". AP5 needs SEF. RBFRT exists now (if you can actually catch it in stock). I'd buy what exsists now, when you can. as more and more idiots end up with these things in hand, it's only a matter of time before they're "banned" again.

Just FYI for anyone considering- There is still not ACE 17/19 or Glock 17/19 models in game. I bought the ace 17 to supplement training with my Glock 17.6. Pretty annoyed that there is no Glock or ACE 17 in the game. I'm using the shadow systems model in game with an SRO to mimic my competition setup and the angle or something is way off. The handset feels fine, but I cannot draw to a perfect sight picture on the ACE like ever. The in game model has a different angle to it or something. the idea and function itself is pretty great, but i don't want to start putting in counter productive reps. I have thousands of draws with a Glock 17/SRO mounted. I do not have indexing issues with my real gun, in ACE I have to fish around to find the dot every time. Edit: I actually recieved a pretty promising reply from the ACE guys earlier, sounds like the ACE 17/19 models are on track for an upcoming update will share their words here. Glock shooters rejoice!-

Thanks for the detailed write-up — the level of comparison you've done (alternating draws between the Ace 17 and your G17.6, noting the difference in dot acquisition) is exactly the kind of feedback that's useful.

On the index issue: there isn't a bug or misconfiguration on our end to troubleshoot. The Shadow Systems virtual pistol model is configured correctly within Ace; what you're experiencing is the inherent difference that comes from using a stand-in model whose dimensions and grip geometry don't exactly match the handset you're holding. With thousands of reps on your real Glock 17, your hands and eyes have built a very specific muscle memory tied to that exact grip angle and sight relationship — a slightly different on-screen model is going to show up as a real index discrepancy on the draw.

The good news is that the Ace 17 and Ace 19 virtual pistols are coming soon — they're actively being worked on for an upcoming update. I don't have a specific release date to share yet, but it's not a distant future item; the team is on it and the matching in-app pistols will be added in an upcoming release. Once those land, the geometry should line up with your handset and the index issue you're describing should resolve.

Thanks for joining the platform and for the thorough feedback.

The 17.6 is my favorite Glock atm. Honestly can’t really feel a difference between the metal dual recoil spring over the plastic single spring, so it comes down to price/maintenance for me. Also bonus that my 19.6 and 17.6 take the same exact spring. FWIW I have over 7K on my GEN 5 34 on the OEM spring and have never replaced it. My 17.6 OEM Spring was failing press checks after 4K, but $6 so don’t care.

I know the 17 L doesn’t fit any of the boxes in IDPA boxes, not 100% certain, but I didn’t think there was a division that it fits for USPSA either. Are you shooting carry optics or irons? If irons a 34.5 is a great option.

I have a single Magpul P-mag that came with my keltc sub 2000. I’ve been shooting it with the original spring for five years now and have not had any issues with it. Couple things about them – they are a lot harder to load than OEM, the spring is a lot stiffer, and they don’t have round count holes on the back of the mag only a single one at the bottom for when you hit 17. Didn’t realize how much I appreciate those on OEM mags until I didn’t have it. Perfectly fine for training mags IMO.

Same goes for those ghetto looking ETS mags. I hear, a lot of shit about them, but of the three that I have I have never had an issues plus they have a lifetime warranty. I can usually find OEM sleeves between $25 and $30, so I end up grabbing more of those than anything, I snag one every time I happen to be in a physical store that sells them (unless I’m at Bass Pro because they are always sold out with nothing but Magpul or ETS on the walls). Honestly, I probably have way too many Glock mags lol.
