ETA to add the new ones like the old news start to crack from the rear a corner at the bottom of the feed lips. That is where every one of mine started to crack. I have been transitioning over to Preppershop magazines now. Hopefully that will stand up to the abuse. |

I just checked some 922r mags I had loaded full for 3 months as a test. Date is 3/16 and all 3 mags are fine but I unloaded them anyway. I'm thinking a few Manticore mags might be worth having to round out an even dozen.

Anything steel will rust if not properly cared for, especially spring steel since it's high carbon, but no rust for me as of yet. I now have 5 cz magazines that are cracking but functioning. Use 3 of them during my class to see if they would stop working. They kept working so I will keep training with them until they break. |

I wouldn't Rocksett anything. My screws that hold the handguard onto the clamp have come loose. I'm going to put Teflon tape on them. The Allen wrench for those is way too small and strips very easy. I would rather size up the screws than try to unfunk loctite or Rocksett.

I stripped out my little screws by not having the clamp tightened correctly (which made the screws become unaligned) and manticore had to send me a new one. |

Just use the integrally machined QD pocket on the forend and you can skip an add QD point altogether. We machine the QD pockets right into the forends so you don't have to spend an additional $20 to $30 to get an aftermarket QD point on the gun.

So far, mine vastly prefers my plated 124gr reloads to my 147gr coated cast reloads. Both are at about 1.13 COAL. Both work fine, but the 124s are much more accurate. I'm watching my aluminum charging handle and its interaction with the aluminum Manticore rail, little bit of wear but I greased it with Lubriplate. I had to ditch my irons, I couldn't see the target very well when using my red dot zeroed at 30 yards. I considered a low riser but the red dot is already low, I don't think a riser will allow me to get proper POA/POI. The Primary Arms advanced micro red dot is extremely impressive, this won't be my last. I am looking for an HD 9mm load that won't overpenetrate.
This is one of my favorite guns, bar none. |

Standard pressure HST 147s are one of the best HD loads ever made for 9mm, IMO. It's my go-to shtf ammo and great with a silencer too....
As far as lights go, I have a streamlight protac 1L. It's plenty bright enough for 9mm range work and is relatively small, yet long enough to mount sufficiently forward to eliminate barrel shadow. I like it so far. |
