Most of the stove pipe issues I've seen have been extractor issues rather than recoil spring. Recoil spring is usually failure to feed and a few other issues. Do you shoot factory ammo or reloads? I have seen times where stove pipes were caused by weak reloads. It doesn't cycle the slide all the way back which doesn't allow time for the spent casing to eject. I recommend looking closely at the extractor to see if it is chipped or damaged in any way. I typically clean mine with a dental pick to get any hard build up out from under the edge so it can make good contact with the case rim.

How many rounds do you have through the gun? Also, can you describe the issue you are having? You mentioned ejection problems. What exactly is it doing? STI

Most lefties I know use their index finger to operate the slide stop and magazine release. With a little practice they became very proficient at it. As you mentioned, an ambi safety is the way to go. STI

How well does the dip hold up with tire rotations, etc.? I've been considering dipping mine, but was concerned with how it would hold up. STI

I am 6'4" so I feel your pain. All of those little guns feel very small, but with a little practice you get used to it. I've shot both the G42 and G43. They are both good guns and shoot very well. However, like any other Glock, I would change the sights out. The factory sights suck. I shot the G43 and the XDS 9 one right after the other so I could get a good comparison between the two. I preferred the XDS a little over the G43. For some reason it felt better and I was more accurate with it. Of course your results may be different. My buddy I was shooting with preferred the G43. If you are getting the LEO discount, I would pick one up for sure. STI

Right. I posted to show penetration from room to room and show that at close range the shotgun pattern isn't much different from slug to bird shot at the point of impact. It's good information to understand what could happen in you kids room if you shoot in the kitchen, etc.

Here is some good information for home defense. Shotguns are not just spray and pray. It is possible to miss, especially at close range.

Check out Dawson Precision. You can order them online and put them on yourself. I've done a lot of them. If you don't know how, they have a few videos on YouTube to walk you through it. If you have a vice, hammer, small flat file, and a little loctite you have everything you need.

Both sound really good. Do you have the 5.3 or 6.2? Also, yours looks like single in/single out. Will dual out make much difference?

I have talked to a couple of shops in my area and they are all $325-$400 for Magnaflow custom duals. I was questioning the difference between the 14" and 18" and one of the guys told me most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them. I'm assuming he is talking about in the cab? I would think there would be a pretty good difference outside or with the windows down. Anyone have first hand knowledge? It's really hard to tell from YouTube clips.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I thought about it during the 30% off sale and didn't pull the trigger. I'm torn between this and just having a local shop put in a Magnaflow and cut out the flapper and resonator. STI

Which one did you get? How is the drone/chopper?

I really like the new hood ornament. STI

Awesome! I was hoping that would be the case, but I've never done one. Thanks. STI

I'm looking at different front leveling options. I plan to attempt the install myself. If I go with a 2" kit that uses the bottom spacer only, will I need to loosen everything up or will I be able to get them in with minimal work? STI
