Base Plate Pops Off And 9mm Fly

[carlson1]

Well I have switched over from my 1911's to carrying a Glock. I changed the base plate to a Pearce Grip Extension. I did not change the floor plate with the base plate. I have been carrying it this way for two weeks. I put 100 rounds through that one mag. Today while sitting (praise the Lord at home) the base plate all of sudden pops off and all 16 rounds of ammo hit the floor. Be sure to follow the instructions.

I did see that on the range on day too.
Glad it was at home.

BTW - Be sure to follow directions.

so do you need to buy another part with the grip ext?? or do you not reuse the
( plastic plate) under the spring?

No it comes with everything you need. I just did not use the correct base plate.

Thank goodness you were at home. If you'd been in Red Lobster or Hooter's or someplace, you would have surely drawn a crowd.

I already feel dumbed down I sure am glad there was no crowd.

Thanks. Is your set up with the plus 1?

Thanks. Is your set up with the plus 1?

Yes sir! Plus 1 and then minus 16

OK. I'm now understanding the plus zero pinky grip is "change 1 part for 1 part", whereas the plus 1 extensions are changing 2 parts for 2 parts.
i'm pretty sure i'm getting the plus zero pinky grip.(G27)
I really just want to look...... but i'll wait.

You are correct. 2 for 2.

It could have been worse, it could have happened to him at a moment where he really needed those rounds!

Yea I thought it was funny - several hours later though. Wished it woiuld have been someone else.

I'm glad it didn't happen when you had a need for the weapon to function!

Take my advice,........go back to your 1911's and/or your J frames!

[longtooth]

Good advice. Wish I had said that.
