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 just realized how long it’s been since I stirred the shit up in this thread... Eat your hearts out, Glockbois  Oh, and it’s my new EDC CCW pistol: https://www.instagram.com/p/CDz3S3npt3u/?igshid=1rj5cqp7uvhwe (All in good fun gents  )

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#. |

For those who have occasional reliability problems with their RS, you may be interested in this article I wrote explaining reliability of compensated pistols in simple layman’s terms: https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/how-to-ensure-reliable-performance-in-compensated-semi-auto-pistols/ TL:DR - Use higher power +P/NATO loads to make sure your comped pistol runs like a sewing machine |

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

Well, I joined the "almost" a Roland special club with this. Gen 3 G19, RMR, KKM barrel/comp/Ameriglo. Lower has the Glock 3.5 minus connector with the Wolfe springs. Battle Werx did the RMR milling and it is tight. What is missing is the correct light, front serrations and grip work. Kind of doubt I will have the frame work done - living in CA I can not put this on my CCW so this will be a range/desert toy. I screwed up by not getting the serrations done at same time as the RMR. Live and learn. Tomorrow is Range day. Looking forward to finally taking it out.

I really picked the worst time to start a build, but here is where I'm at so far. KKM + comp is in the mail. I sat on a Gen 5 MOS slide and watched seven in stock disappear overnight. I really don't want to be without my slide for months while waiting during current lead times for slide milling. I might get an aftermarket slide or just wait until the Gen 5 MOS slides are back in stock.

| 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. |

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. |

Raven Concealment Freya. 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. |
