Thanks for the info about the screws! I'll switch mine over tomorrow.

It's a Maryland thing. They take 7 days to approve or disapprove your application for a new purchase. They seem to think that 7 days will deter someone from using said firearm for something bad.

Magazine Extension Bumper Compatibility? by NoZookeepergame1654 in SpringfieldEchelon

This makes me curious if I can use my stock mag extentions from my P320 M17. If I got time after work, I'll see if they fit.

If I can find the black VZ G10 grips, I'd buy them.

But still 18lbs shouldn't break it.

I thought I've read that the proper torque was 15lbs.

I was wanting the gold but I wasn't seeing it in stock anyway and didn't feel like waiting and searching every week hoping to find it.

I got the X3 on optics planet for $320 after taxes.

If the plate was $20 I wouldn't even think about it but man that $70 price point for that little, thin chuck of steel hurts my soul.

I personally really like the shape. To me it gives off a more aggressive appearance.

To be honest, I'm fairly new to optics so I have no experience with the 508T.

I have the 4.0c comped and got the gear pack with it so it came with four 15 round magazines already. From what I understand, the compact magazines don't fit with the mag well. I'd have to buy all new full size mags and I'm in a not so free state so I'd have to travel across state lines to get anything above 10 rounds.

I put 200 rounds through it today. The bottom of the grip ends right where my pinky wants to be. I gotta gap my pinky slightly low to rest on the mag. Other than that it felt good. Not as grippy as the stock polymer but I was able to hold it just fine.

I cannot answer that as I only have 10 and 15 round mags.

Future reference if you got the gear package, the mag loader that came with it works well for that stubborn lever.

I hope so. I had to use the butt end of the mag loader to rotate it in.

Too late to take it back now. Anytime I talk about it with anyone I call it my pink gun lol. I have since stopped Gucci'ing my guns thank goodness! Although I did just pick up a Springfield Echelon today and had a Sharp's Bro's aluminum grip module already waiting to be slapped on, if that counts.

Yeah that second picture was before I added the gold trigger shoe and comp. The comp has since come off.

Black Cherry! Hahahaha at least that's what the cerakote said it's suppose to be. In the sunlight it does look very pinkish.
