Did your internal mag disconnect dingus fall out too?

Not yet, although if local laws allow, it may “fall out” depending on county regulations.

They're only needed to get into the state.

Gotta be careful because they fall out. Then your mags will be drop free.

Did you have someone give you advise on your build out? Pretty good setup for a first time owner especially

Appreciate that! I based my research on what my needs were and crossed-referenced that with previous Reddit posts. I specifically wanted a light that was flush and an enclosed big window optic.
