| Ok, Am I the only one here that uses one of these. I have had mine for almost 4 years in my glock 23, and I am going to buy 2 more for a couple of my glock 22's. Does any one else who frequesnts this area use one? I like what it does for me, the frame has a bit more weight to it and the pistols balance seems to be much nicer than the ones I have used that do not have it. So speak up, who has one and do you have a brass one or an aluminum one. Mine is brass. |

Picture for those that are curious It is a wright and a magazine guide, it mounts into place through the lanyard hole. it comes with 2 screws, one is a larger panhead, incase you have used the lanyard hole and have egged it out over time, they reccomend the pan head, or you can use the little screw that dissapears into the lanyard hole almost completly and the slug is firmly in place. |
Ummm, How? on gen 3 glocks the frame either needs to have the 2 little tabs cut out for it to fit. or the SS needs to be modded to be able to work correctly. If those things wernt done I can see why it split. If It was installed correctly I wonder how it happened... anythings possible, but if you have more info it would be appreciated. |
| When I installed mine, I spent a significant amount of time fitting them to the frame and removing the ridges inside the frame opening. Without that, I am confident that it would have caused a problem to just ram it in. If I remember correctly, the instructions indicated that fitting would be required. It was simple to do, as the brass was easy to shape. I ended up with a perfect fit. I even "skeletonized" the hidden portion of one of mine to reduce weight, which made a G19 balance quite well! |
It's a frame that starts with an E serial # (bought new in 2000 or 2001). I don't think it has the tabs. I recall the slug fitting in fine. I used the the screw that covers the lanyard hole. After firing it a few times, I noticed the split. Frame flex, screw too tight, slug too tight? - Who knows. After I saw the split, I found others that had the same problem. But it's been 6 years or so and don't remember the details. I can't say this will happen to anyone else, just sharing my experience. I have a brass magwell on a 34 and use the other screw that just protrudes into the landyard hole. I think this is a better choice over the screw that covers the hole. |
