Thank you Sir...

EdmondI think I'm going to end up with either a 20 or a 21 this year and a 19.
I can use a conversion barrel in a 21 to shoot 10mm, correct? Can a 20 be converted to .45 ACP?

aparocheI just installed an Apex Tactical Action Enhancement Kit Trigger Bar & Connector in my 43x and it’s amazing. It’s pricy at $100 bucks but I will install these Apex triggers in all of my Glocks from now on. They are so much nicer than the stock triggers IMHO.

Good news for me too then. I ordered 4 of their mags and their steel mag catch on 1/25.

JMagI still love the versatility and overall excellence of my gen 3 G26, along with my Sig P365 which has prevented me from buying any of the newer Glocks. If I’m missing something, I don’t know it.

A slightly smaller gun than your Glock 26 G3 with the ability to hold 15 rounds with these Shield Arms mags...

adorHow long did they take after you place the order? Ordered 3 mags and steel mag catch Feb. 2nd.

I placed my order on January 25th and they shipped today. Not bad at all. I can’t believe people are paying resellers $60 to $70 per mag for these, since they are on backorder.

But what would I do with all my double stack magazines, many of which hold more than fifteen rounds?

Blume9mmWell Para will be tickled .... I just mailed a check to a fellow member for a Glock.
I'm not a fan of them... I really don't have serious reasons other than I'm not a fan of striker fired systems as well as the way Glocks look... but here is why I made the plunge:
For years I carried in my work vehicle both a Ruger P89 and Ruger PC9 carbine... they both not only shot the same caliber ammo but took the same magazines.... some would call it silly but from an 'old west' stand point this seems the most practical system for if serious trouble occurred. I recently decided to upgrade my caliber to 357 Sig and the 'rifle' options in this are not only limited but for some weird reason beyond my comprehension the only choices I found only took Glock magazines.... my new 'truck rifle' is from TNW firearms out of Oregon.... it is actually a pistol with 10.5" barrel and brace... I still need a actual handgun to match it and so have purchased a Glock 32 from a fellow member here...

Welcome to the dark side..
You probably already know, but you can run 40cal on your 32 with a simple 23 barrel swap using the same magazines.
At times I ran a 27 barrel in my 33 and a 31 barrel in my 22.
I always ran stock Glock barrels instead of aftermarket.
A nice option to have with the current short supply of ammo.
I love the 357sig round, more than anything it is just plain fun to shoot.
But be careful, keep an eye on that Glock.
They tend to multiply once they get into the home..
Good luck..

Lefty SigI bought a G44 in November. I've shot it twice about a 100 rounds of CCI MiniMags each time and I got a lot of jams - mostly stovepipes. Like can't get through a mag without a jam. I have the two mags that came with it and two extras.
Next time I'll label the mags and see if there is any difference between them. I also have a threaded barrel I might try so see if that makes any difference. I've also been leaving the slide locked back to compress the recoil spring as it may be a little too strong at first. I do have a Glock factory "-" connector in it which should not have any effect on extraction and ejection. The striker spring seems heavier on these and the trigger pull is higher compared to centerfire Glocks, so the "-" pretty much makes it the same as a centerfire Glock.
I suppose it's possible I am limp-wristing it but I haven't had that issue with any other semi-automatic, even the known finicky Kahr PM9. Seems like it could be the extractor which does seem a little loose.
A friend just got one and shot it today with cheap Winchester ammo and had no issues.
How is everyone else doing with theirs?

Lefty Sig^^^^ I think I was using up the last of my 36 grain hollowpoint MiniMags. Guess I can try 40 grain next and see what happens.

aparocheThis thread is costing me $$$...
I just purchased this NIB Glock 48 MOS with CH Precision Adapter Plate and new Holosun 507K X2 red dot optic mounted. I was never a huge Glock guy due to the fat grip and blocky slide of the G19 but I’m all in with the slimline models (G43x and G48), along with the 15 round flush fit magazines from Shield Arms.
Para is an evil overlord. He should get kickbacks from Glock for this thread.

MSG21It's been a long time since I was here. Just bought the Gen 5 Glock 26. It's a nice pistol.

I guess you are right because next on my list is probably a Glock 19... just because I also bought the 9mm conversion parts for the TNW I bought.
