After a month wait I just got an email from KKM with my tracking number for my 19.5 barrel and comp. woot!
Btw: I took the 19.5 with the silencerco barrel to the range today and it ate everything I fed it. Cheap 115gr pmc, federal 124gr and 147 syntech match training ammo. Groups were pretty damn tight also. Very pleased. Going to take @AKSU advice and shoot a few more rounds through this until the PMM comp comes in to break it in. Most likely do the same with the KKM barrel as well. |

I’ve got the gen 3 KKM, had some issues when shooting WWB 115. Swapped the RSA for a 15#, still occasionally had an issue with the 115s. Now I just shoot 124 WWB through it. Zero issues with that combo.

I'm thinking about jumping back into the Roland game. While very nice, carrying my G19 with TLR7 appendix in a Tier 1 Agis is a little too bulky and uncomfortable for comfortable, totally print free carry. My girlfriend just bought a G48, and I think I'm going to get one for the appendix deep concealment role. I recall from when I had my G19 set up as a Roland, carrying at 4 o'clock was no problem.
What are the preferred holsters these days? Also, it looks like TBRC is no longer in business. What are the best barrels/comps these days? I will probably go KKM for one, but would like the other to be suppressor compatible, since I intend to eventually buy a pistol can if I decide I like my 22lr can enough. |

I've been very happy with the work and turnaround time. |

I have a failure to eject every once in awhile with 115 grainers so thought I would try a NDZ 13 # spring. NDZ says the stock Gen. 4 spring is 18 #. Is this true, I thought it was 15#.

Originally Posted By Soopreme: shes purtty. atei do the slide work? View Quote Yeah, I had them do two G19s a few years ago.

One of my TLR7's failed, which caused me to think about the X300 again. |

View Quote how did it fail on you? i have a TLR light on my M&P but i cant remember which model. ive had it for just about 8 years now without issues. but i still think the x300 is superior in all aspects except size. |

Seen a few reports of that mini Docter optic breaking but havent seen one come through a class or handled one in person yet. I do like the idea behind it though

How do you guys like the PMM comp vs the KKM? I have a 19 Gen 5 and am debating another KKM or go another direction.

I just wanted to get as close as possible with a Gen 5. Looks like I'll have to go ZEV though just by limited options and stock. |

@AKSU
How do you like the front sight placement on the Agency comp? Do you get any benefit in sight tracking from having it relatively stationary? |
|
Deserve's got nothing to do with it.

View Quote It’s a nice feature to have a longer sight radius when shooting with your irons. Other then sighting in my irons initially, I don’t really notice. While the front sight doesn’t reciprocate it does move up when the barrel tilts to unload and load. |

Good luck finding a G19.3 version. That is the only part/spec missing on mine. I ended up using an Overwatch Precision to complete my Roland Special. |
