Glock owners united MEGA THREAD

Gen3 19 I put together.

 

MOS mounting plates are infamous for lacking sufficient thread depth (number of engaged threads). Two options: you can try more Loctite and witness marks on the screws or go with an aftermarket mounting solution like the CH Precision mounting plate.

 

C&H was out of stock the last time i checked but i will check again! Thanks

 

C&h is a pain in the ass! They take forever to get there orders out. If it’s out of stock look somewhere else.

 

Ever think about buying a milled slide? Check out black Phoenix customs! He’s got some nice ones for not bad money! And it’s milled no plate.

 

Well, i stand corrected, after some tinkering, it appears the sight is tight and the MOS plate is loose. I will disect, inspect, loctite, retorque and witness mark, then go from there

 

The MOS plates are known to suck. Get a quality plate and avoid the hassle.

 

Y’all know more about this than I do. I can say I’ve only put about 400 rounds through the 17 since the Eotech was installed and so far it’s all tight

 

Would recommend the Forward Controls OPF plates for Glock MOS-to-whatever. I have about 1000 on my Glock with an SRO on it. No issues.

 

I actually put some red loctite between the slide and plate it has yet to come loose

 

I had a running bet with an Army buddy on how long I could go without cleaning it. It went all summer and thousands of rounds without a malfunction. After a mercy cleaning it became my go-to full sized carry gun. It’s been dropped in the rocks, fallen off my truck, and been submerged between embarrassingly sporadic maintenance. One of the most reliable, easy to handle, and durable handguns ever developed. Glock 17

 

Carries my G21 comfortably all day long.

 

New Glock 19 Gen 5 10rd Mags, and 30% of the time they catch in the magwell and won’t go into the gun. Anybody have this issue with the “new” 10rd Glock 19 Gen 5 Mags? I had some older ones (sold them cause I moved back to Oregon, and bought new ones for traveling through Washington state) that did not have this issue. The new ones are stamped with 2274-02 on the back. Pictured is the issue, when I try to put the mag in the gun 30% of the time it catches and won’t go further than pictured.

 

Never had that issue.

i have some lightly used gen 5 glock mags that i know work in my glocks that i could pass along if you want:

I only have 15rd Glock mags to compare to. From what I can tell the lip of the 10rd is more intrusive on the interior right side of the mag(from the photos point of view) but other than that they look pretty close to the same.
Left is 15rd and Right is 10rd. Also Magwell photo.
Edit: should also be noted that I’m left handed and I have the mag release switched to the right hand side of the Glock (stock is left hand side for right handed users).

 

Yeah I reached out to Glock and they want me to send the mags and firearm in for inspection. It just feels like it is catching on the release, instead of manipulating the release and sliding past it (like it should).

 

Well I somewhat solved the issue. I took a nail file to the 10rd mag (already opened so vendor wasn’t going to take it back) and made the lip look more like the 15rd. The 10rd lip was flat and more intrusive, whereas the 15rd was angled and not intruding. No catching on the mag release when inserted anymore.
Before: 10rd on the right.


Tried taking after photos, but they don’t really do it justice. Still, it works now.
