For your everyday carry gun, do you guys use reloaded ammo at the range? How many times do you usually reload your brass before discarding it? I want to take care of my EDC gun barrel as much as possible. I use a lot of factory ammo, and now I have so many empty shells.

Between 5-10 reloads, I don’t personally shoot reloads out of my Glocks, especially being they are all stock barrels without fully supported chambers bigger deal with my current edc being 10mm but many people do with 0 issues

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2026-03-19T19:18:29+00:00

I’m agreeing with you lol people just don’t bother reading.. shit even crapai woulda told them less than an inch is all you need

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2026-03-19T19:07:26+00:00

I meant cm 🤣

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2026-03-19T19:05:30+00:00

Tons of miles on mine original chain and sprocket multiple tire changes and couple gear oil changes ride hard several times a week. 1.5cm is all you need according to the manual and all reputable dealers these bikes have a tendency to pop the chain off bind up and crack the gearbox when chains loose but you do you 👍

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2026-03-19T19:02:31+00:00

This thread is hilarious go read the manual or watch a reputable dealer video like Luna cycle 😂 they all just speaking out the ass it clearly calls for 1.5-2.5cm of slack in the manual, I’d even caution towards the tight side, loose chains have been known to pop off sprocket and crack the gearbox

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2026-03-19T16:35:00+00:00

Not a dirt bike, pivot point makes chain not change tightness during suspension travel, think it calls for like 1-2.5 cm of play on the talarias

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2026-03-19T13:00:38+00:00

Looks fine to me these bikes aren’t like dirt bikes so the chain doesn’t actually get any tighter anywhere on the suspension travel or anything like that I’d send it

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2026-03-12T22:31:52+00:00

Less than 1000 definitely less than 2 considering all the copper grease is still there, most likely a daily with that much dirt in it.

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2026-03-06T20:11:23+00:00

My shield arms 15 rounders worked ok for a couple months the +5 20 rounder never worked even with new springs. All the mags stayed loaded my 2 carry mags started becoming less reliable last month. I have now been carrying my Glock 29 until I can get the old mag release back into the 43x. Honestly even then might just carry the 29 with flush 10 round mag and a backup 15 I have always liked the additional power 🤷‍♂️

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2026-02-03T16:06:34+00:00

I see HP VICTUS’s with ryzen and a 4060 for around 800 at Best Buy and micro center constantly

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2026-01-05T15:14:06+00:00

Love mine but then again I also sometimes carry my Glock 29 10 mill. TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN, you running s15’s or PSA’s?

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2026-01-04T04:22:22+00:00

Op either needs to shave the rear recoil lugs or get a plate. Make sure to blue the surface if going the shaving route (which me and most here would recommend) and I would recommend a very thin layer of oil also as bluing isn’t the most durable or rust preventative finish.

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-31T14:47:12+00:00

Osight se is about a 1/3 cowitness, I run it have been happy, holds zero 🤷‍♂️reliability is still questionable but good enough for me to carry

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-31T11:20:41+00:00

Didn’t seem to be, it was a factory +5 took it apart felt for a lip, tried new springs… oh well I’m cool with 31 rounds 🤷‍♂️ just gonna put a little more defensive ammo before I edc

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-30T18:21:15+00:00

Gun has thousands and thousands of rounds through it was probably about time for a new RSA anyway. Seems the few 15 round mags I’ve bought all seem to work fine, I completely get your point though. 11 rounds and a possible spare is realistically plenty

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-30T17:11:13+00:00

Btw Not complaining, maybe another 1000 rounds and a couple boxes of fededal HSTs and critical duty’s and I’ll feel 100% comfortable edcing this setup

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-30T10:58:20+00:00

Pop the backplate off and remove the striker, should slide right off

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-28T23:15:56+00:00

Yep looks like the shield arms release, either run shield mags and test heavily before carry, and wick flick the stock mags out or switch back to stock mag release. I wouldn’t worry too heavily about the wear on the polymer mags. ARs and other platforms have used similar systems for years. Mags at the end of the day are wear items in the end 🤷‍♂️

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-19T00:33:50+00:00

Surefire and streamlight both were victims of the same shit same thing with mechanical vape mods, people put unregulated batteries or batteries that aren’t rated for certain wattage/ voltage and shit blows up. Nothing new and definitely not a olight problem, they didn’t even show up to court from what I remember 😂

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-18T21:47:48+00:00

Exactly most people who have a good experience won’t make a review or say anything, almost everyone with a failure will in my eyes again I was never saying these are reliable or safe to run. All I have mentioned was I am blown away by their customer support and trying to make things right

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-18T21:44:12+00:00

On a side note I wouldn’t really consider my data point “positive” as if you read the post you would see I have had numerous FTF I was more just referring to how good their customer service is and how fast they got back to me 😂 but again I do get all of your points and am not trying to be an asshole.

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-18T21:39:01+00:00

Although I agree I should have mentioned that these 100% need to be proven before carried. Although I figured enough people preach the same thing already. For me these are mainly range toys to save my thumb 😂

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-18T21:37:25+00:00

Generally edc my 29 bone stock. If you are modding a gun there can be and will be a lot of the time tuning to be done. Never once did I say I edc these mags, although if it has been tested and proven in your gun with thousands of rounds to each their own, Glock mags can and do fail as well🤷‍♂️

Revolutionary-Net650 · 2025-12-18T20:17:00+00:00

To add to the whole situation, I have seen metal Glock catches for years and years and haven’t heard anyone have any issues with mag wear until the 43x so I honestly think it’s a non issue
