You know, I had seen some pics of a Gen 5 mag base-plate that had a dingus on the front edge that filled in the notch on the frame. For some reason I thought those were stock. Turns out they aren't.

Yep, that's Mike Sisino. Mike is a really good guy and knows his stuff. Mark has known him far longer than I have, but in the few years now that I've known him I have found him to be exactly what he is on that podcast episode. Very low key, very professional, very knowledgeable, and very hesitant to criticize others and never does it to elevate himself. When he was saying that there are a lot of good trainers out there that you've never heard of, that was the closest you will ever hear him come to promoting himself -- and he did that in a very roundabout way. I can't wait to take a class with him.

Are you having issues HERE or there?

This is purely my opinion and worth nothing, but I think Glock shot themselves in the foot with the "Gen 5 Baseplate" since hitherto the mags from pretty much any Gen worked in any other Gen. The slight exception being the ambidextrous mag release cutout in the mag between Gen 3 and Gen 4, but Gen 4 mags still work as long as you're a right-handed shooter and have the mag release configured as such. These Gen 5 mags with the "lip" have fragmented their ecosystem somewhat, and Glock's claim to fame has been standardization.

I wonder if this is a restriction per-State or if all States do it the same. I don't want to assume. Good idea! Hahahaha I'll see if we can work that in.

So... Questions you want me to ask Ian?

This week I will be recording a new episode of the Shooters Nation Podcast and once again will be sitting down with Ian Strimbeck of Runenation LLC. You may remember Ian from a previous episode with him where we talked about being the Multi-Disciplinary Tactician as an armed citizen. Well, this time we are going to talk about Non-Permissive Environments and Improvised Weapons and I'm curious... What questions would you like for me to ask Ian? When I think about a non-permissive environment, several places come to mind: Workplaces Schools Courtrooms Government Buildings

A friend of mine, Mike Sisino, says that it feels different and more improved to him than the Gen 5 trigger.

Everyone that I know who owns one of them says the improvements aren't just in the grip length. They say the trigger is better than any other Glock due to changes in the trigger system and/or sear. Also, the explanation I've heard several times now for why the grip length and slide length work so well for certain applications has to do with who the pistol was originally designed for. Keep in mind it was designed as a contender for the joint service pistol. Anyone wearing body armor with side panels needed a shorter slide so that they weren't drawing "all of that gun" out of a holster and trying to clear it past their armor.

Cool. Same phone I have. Let me try to replicate the problem.

You're on a phone or a tablet of some sort?

I have a hat problem. I have a lot of hats, and the problem is I keep buying them. I don't think it's odd to pay attention to what's on folks hats. Some folks pay attention to what tennis shoes other people are wearing. Some folks pay attention to what gun other folks are shooting at the range.

Sunfish, you're picking up a vibe that keeps me from aligning with this rally. I think our members ought to dig a little deeper before being so enthusiastic to attend what looks like it's going to be a patriotic Pro 2nd Amendment rally. This NCCPA (National Constitutional Coalition of Patriotic Americans) is publicly affiliated in some way, if only by association, the Three Percent and Oath Keeper organizations which have been classified as hate groups and anti-government separatist groups. From their own "About" page: Red and bold emphasis are mine. If you think that this connection won't be exploited by the media and turned against us, you probably haven't paid much attention to the media lately. It's one thing for an organization completely unassociated with these groups to organize a rally and have some of them unexpectedly show up and hold signs, wear their "colors", etc. In a public setting, you can no more control that than the Far Left and Anti-2A groups can control any of us showing up and peacefully holding up signs supporting the Second Amendment. But it's another thing entirely, in my opinion at least, when the organizers of a rally claim on their own website that they are an affiliation of Three Percent groups and Local Militias, even if that affiliation is "loose". This will completely keep me from being there or showing any support for it. And that's a shame because we still need a good, organized, Pro-2nd Amendment rally.

I've never seen this problem before but will check the software's support site to see if they offer any clues.

Send me a PM with the email address you prefer to use.

Man that does look great!

Fixed.
