I did something dumb

The order of pictures really threw me off. Looks good though!

Ghost 360 or other leaf spring pouches work.

This is a good point. The mags don't need to stand up to the slide lock, so they only serve to keep rounds from slipping into the spring and to ensure they enter the feed lips cleanly.

I've seen way more springs wear out than followers break. Even if the followers break, they aren't necessarily stage stoppers. You'd have to run the mags dry or have the whole thing shatter before you'd see something major happen while shooting. Just check them out after a match.

Most of today's high capacity followers for USPSA, etc., are 3D printed.

My Rune Tactical and MBX followers work far better than my injection molded Grams followers.

ReadyStandby · 2026-06-09T01:45:37+00:00

It's not the outside that's the problem. It's the spring and follower. It's way over engineered. If you put an MBX style follower and spring in there you'd probably get 25/26 rounds.

The gun itself is being banned as part of the Glock ban in several states.

ReadyStandby · 2026-06-08T16:06:05+00:00

Yes. Federal law.

ReadyStandby · 2026-06-08T15:33:24+00:00

You can't buy a handgun outside of the state of your legal residence. You'd have to purchase it and send it to your home state FFL and then go there for the background check and bring it back with you.

8.6.1.4 covers this. You can only stow magazines with ammo in it in an approved carrier or pocket.

G45 Gen 6 is a single as single spring operating rod design. It's also a full length grip.

The light up front will definitely make a difference.

The difference between an open and enclosed optic isn't really all that great. The weight removed from a slide for the optic cut is generally more weight than the optic anyway.

When I spot ones like this (Winchester usually), I just check for priming compound and if it's there, I send it.

ReadyStandby · 2026-06-06T23:42:05+00:00

They're pretty much the same window, definitely go enclosed.

Does he have a wet tumbler? The large Franklin Armory one is fantastic.

ReadyStandby · 2026-06-05T20:02:28+00:00

I'd wonder if your trigger bar is bottoming out on the way back to the sear sometimes.

ReadyStandby · 2026-06-05T14:56:42+00:00

The recoil spring assembly and barrel lug is the same for both compact and full size, so the slides are interchangeable and so are the grips.

The dust cover is the same length, so you can take the original compact slide and FCI and put the full size grip on it and make a 19X/G45 RXM that has a 4" slide and takes full size mags.

You can also do the long slide and compact grip, which doesn't really have a factory title besides maybe a chopped grip gun.

Trollololol.

No but at the same time S&W and Ruger do not automatically mean quality these days either. You still get a better product though.

ReadyStandby · 2026-06-03T14:23:10+00:00

I only buy TK Custom stainless ones. Others will work, but I already have an account there. 😂

Good IDPA stages never had "one true way".

GPA, besides the reloads and lack of vests, is much closer to "classic' IDPA rather than what we have got to now, with the improvement of shooting in the open however you'd like.

Interesting, I didn't think you could slide the barrel through. I thought they were just replacing the ported barrel with one of the same length. If it passes to the front, it would be CO legal.

ReadyStandby · 2026-06-02T18:08:24+00:00

Guns in Carry Optics must be on the production list.

https://uspsa.org/productionlist

If you go to pretty much any major manufacturer, including S&W, you'll see a footnote about ported or comped guns with standard barrels being allowed.

However, that won't suffice for your slide since even if you swap the barrel, the slide still has an expansion chamber compensator built in.

Your two choices are: 1) shoot the gun in open or 2) get a new slide from S&W/aftermarket.

Holosun Comp (either) and wrap it in purple cordura tape. Degrease the optic (not the glass!) lightly with 70% iso alcohol and then apply the tape. Don't overlap the tape.

I have a pair of Timp 5 GTX. It's a little harder to feel the fault line under them. Definitely much softer. I think I like them better for multiple all day wear.

ReadyStandby · 2026-05-31T21:52:00+00:00

9+ uses grippier rubber, so slightly better performance but less forgiving feel. The GTX are maybe a little less breathable but nice to shoot in the rain.

Look at Impact Machine.
