its not even close to being a good fit. as soon as you grip the weapon the mag starts to move around making me think malfunction.
even without the mag, if you put the part up against the frame where its supposed to be it doesnt line up at all. i can probably do some sanding and make it work but
when i pay for something i expect better quality than this.
Does anyone else have experience with this part or others like it?
I got some of the A&G ones years ago, and some from another company I don't recall the name.
IIRC, I wasn't real pleased with the A&G ... the other company had more texture.
none will fit exactly up next to the frame ... if they did, the mag might not insert all the way/or be harder to insert.
I place mine closest to the baseplate
Do not overtighten any screw on those, it will affect feeding by bending the metal inside the mag..
I textured/stippled mine.
Also, putting as close to the baseplate instead of up at the frame prevents finger pinches.
Add one aren't ideal, but After it's on right, adjusted right/stippled etc .... I do use one of the other brand ones in daily carry on my Glock 26 so I can use a Glock 17 mag with a Pearce grip +3 extension so my Glock 26 has 21 rounds (20+1) and it functions well, and that sorta makes up for what it lacks in other ways.
If I run across the other brand. I'll post it, but the fit is the same, it's just very slightly more textured ... but I stippled all of mine later anyway. I totally understand your feelings right now .... that's the feelings I had when I got the A&G which prompted me to order the other brand .... but when I got them ... the only difference was texture.
You really want them closer to the baseplate, not jammed next to the frame .... if the screw slips, it makes it tough to insert into the magwell if it butts against the frame.... and the "jiggle/play in the mag can pinch finger skin if it's up at the frame. As I said overtightening the screw doesn't fix that potential slippage... it creates a mag you wouldn't trust. .... don't ask how I know
You want to slide it to the baseplate, then tighten the screw.
I am sure I bought every brand ... the absolute best baseplate is Pearce PG39 = +3 in 9mm +2 in .40
The hard plastic grip spacers are all about the same with minor differences in texture
Except there's a newer rubber grip spacer I have not tried.
I think the other was ProMag ... not a lot of difference though, but slightly more texture IIRC
Takes a while to get used to ... but I really like 21 rounds ready to go ... rather than a mag change during a firefight.
