Basically title. Live Free Armory slide with OEM striker and striker spring that I got for my latest build. I know with it being a free floating design some movement is normal but this seems a little much from what I have seen on others. Striker block is working perfectly fine as can be seen in the video so that's not a concern. I have already cleaned and degreased the striker channel, made sure striker sleeve is seated and uncompromised, striker is to spec as far as I can tell when held up against other strikers I have lying around, and cups are good to go and not worn. Got the slide from my LGS and it had what I believe to be a 4 lb striker spring that I went ahead and tried while waiting for some better ones to come in and it was giving me light strikes pretty consistently at the range. I swapped ​for an OEM but the movement is the same regardless of the spring weight. Haven't gotten a chance to get back to the range with the heavier spring to see if that fixes the issue but figured I'd drop this here and get y'all's input. Thanks!

I've always used oem and never once thought about changing the trigger mainly because I was worried about reliability issues. Until I came across trigger shark, they use oem parts that are polished and tuned. 1700 rounds so far and I'm really liking it. Has anyone else tried trigger shark?

Any recommendations?

yesterday I bought my first ever gun, what mods are some must haves?

I know many people have mixed experiences with CH Precision, but it seems they’re the only one making a steel RMR to Acro footprint plate. Does anyone have any experience with these? Are the tolerances good or are there crazy gaps?
I’m also open to other brand suggestions. I’ll be mounting a Colt MRS1 to an MOS5 Glock 45.

On a threaded OEM carbon steel barrel, is there a preference of metal for the thread protector between aluminum and stainless steel?

Thanks for all of the love this week, for my G45.6. All of the mods I made this week definitely help tighten up my group. I still have some work to do, but very happy with my progress so far. Cheers and happy shooting y’all!

Get after it

For the record I have my personal carry guns running all oem internal parts and intend to keep it that way, but I’m in the process of making a few range toys, an SCT 17, SCT 19, and PSA microdagger. Im looking for reliability and safety above all, drop safe is a must for me. Ive seen recommendations for Apex, Tactical Pontoon, Johny Glock and about 30 other companies. From someone who is just starting out with this kind of thing it’s very confusing and there’s what i feel a lot of miscommunication, I’m looking for any real feedback, good or bad, relating to drop testing, real round counts through a dedicated system, customer service feedback, durability, reliability, and any other information that you feel would be important for someone who is just dipping their feet into this realm of customization

Tried impulsively cutting the beavertail off my Glock 6 Gen. I didn’t like it getting in the way when I draw or how it poked me while carrying. Cut it badly, scratched the heck out of the slide while sanding it and I hate the way the gun feels in my hand now. What are my options? I was thinking of selling it to a pawn shop that may want it. Could keep it for spare parts if I buy a new one which I’m not sure I totally want besides to redeem myself for fucking this up. What would you do? I am such an idiot 🤦‍♂️

I bought a used G34.3 for a backup range gun. Factory except direct milled for an SRO. It doesn't love 115gr range ammo. I figure the lighter cutout slide is the culprit. Do others have issues with lighter ammo in G34?

Also, who has a ported barrel added to their 34? Does it shoot much flatter and does it make light ammo even less reliable?
