The more concerning thing to me is that the P320 has enough smoke around these "uncommanded discharges" that disguising a criminal act in the form of a defective design is plausible. I wonder if we will start seeing more cases like this.

Ive made some really spicy loads using CFE Pistol and Ramshot Silouhette. They are in the slower side of common 9mm powders along with AutoComp and will probably give you the effects you're looking for when loaded on the top end.

The difference is night and day when fired through a Radian Ramjet Afterburner Comp on a Glock 19 when compared to a faster powder like Titegroup, Accurate No 2 or Bulleye.

I prefer Silouhette. Ive had better accuracy between the two. It is hard to come by though. I didnt find it in any of the LGSs a few years ago so I did a group buy from powder valley with some coworkers.

Sent my "1st generation" Gen 5 Glock 34 slide off to them to get front slide serrations and a bob cut on the dust covered milled and nitride coated afterwards. Beautiful work. They actually sand blasted in between the serrations and on the bob cut to give it that factory texture on the newly milled areas. I liked that attention to detail.

Had one of my other glock slide milled by CHPWS and they just milled and recoated. The valley of the serrations are glossy compared to the rest of the slide with that has the glock textured finish.

Its the future with the caveat you have irons available incase you run out of battery or the electronics fail. Still need to know how to shoot irons but no longer the primary aiming solution.

I still think Ill stick with my Labradar. I think its still worth it alone to be able to run the thing on AA Batteries and any type of battery pack. *Me trying to convince my brain that I don't need another $600+ dollar chronograph 

Annealeez Gen 3. This thing is pretty awesome once you find your torch angle and distance, and roller speed. Annealed 300 cases of 5.56 in less than 30 minutes.

For me it's as simple as I've stuck with Glock because of everything besides the gun. I can completely take it apart with ONLY a 3/32" allen key and service it myself, the available parts on the market are astronomical, HPD uses Glock so in a SHTF there's a higher chance something I need for the Glock is out there in the environment.

I see them as purely a survival tool. When the intent of a thing is to simply sling a lead pill to preserve life and keep working in shitty conditions, I think that's a pedigree Glock has held for a long time.

That's not to say that newer polymer striker fire guns aren't more reliable. It's just Glock is proven LONGER. There's a peace of mind in already knowing what it can or can't do through decades of service, studies and reports.

My train of thought anyways.

I have experience with the ACRO P2 and 509T X2.

The 509T X2 has a slight magnification and reticle distortion (if using the circle dot only) when looking through the glass. Not enough to have me get rid of it or not get another one but I do notice it when trying to smack small steel at 100 meters on the silhouette side of Kokohead. In relation to the 508Ts that I own, distortion is only every so slightly worse, but honestly if I wasn't looking for it I don't think I would notice it. At the end of the day this reticle still let's me shred through the 50 meter targets pretty easily at the silhouette range. And when shooting with both eyes open, I feel every con I talked about is a moot point.

As far as the ACRO P2, hands down unbeatable as far as glass clarity and dot crispness. The ACRO sports a 3.5 MOA but the dot is so crisp and clean as far as looking the most "circular" that it actually looks the same size if not smaller than the 2 MOA "smudge" I see when I look through the 509T X2. I can't detect any magnification, nor notch filter/tint. After using and looking through it I can see that the price does indeed match the quality. Not saying you should be a sniper with a pistol but the quality of this pistol optic allows me to hit the smallest of steel at 100 meters on the silhouette range. The glass is that damn clear.

At the end of the day I am verring towards enclosed pistol optics all together. Not only do I like having the emitter protected but I do like that now when lint collects on the glass of the optic I no longer have to "finger" the inside lens to clean all that crap out. Its simply wipe the eye glass and objective glass and no lint or foreign debris has a chance on getting in the emitter.

I found those interesting.  I saw some folks testing SPP and SPmagP and seemed like factory springs were same.  Interesting test on the SRmagP.  I would think that SRP in general would command a premium compared to SPP, but testing you can see. 

I know some PCCs are more reliable with harder primers, but that was with older surplus ammo where we noticed harder primers.

I would like to try this test again with CCI SPMP and SRP. I've seen the videos on YouTube of folks setting off those primers consistently with stock springs. Which makes me wonder how much thicker or denser the the SRMP is. I haven't researched it or found the urge to measure it myself.

Also from what I read from other forums but never verified for myself is that CCI is one of the more "tougher" primers to set off across the board. Maybe is if I tried SRMP in a different brand I might get away with stock springs or lighter than the heaviest springs to ignite a round. If I ever try it out I'll post the results.

I'm only buying whatever the gun stores have available lol. Like I said, I'm not being picky in today's age. 7 months on a waiting list 

With the primer shortage going on I'm pretty sure one can't be too picky with what primers you use now days. I figured I post my results with what discovered incase anyone else was curious.

1) Glock 19 Gen 5 w/ OEM 5.5# (24 Newton) Stock Factory Striker Spring:
Roughly 50% ignition success. Strikes on primers that were set off were extremely shallow.

2) Glock 19 Gen 5 w/ Glock OEM "Red Striker Spring," 6.29# (28 Newton):
Roughly 90% ignition success. It was roughly about 1 out of ever 10 rounds fired I had a light primer strike. Strikes on primers  that were set off were deeper but not deep like a stock weight factory striker spring on a regular small pistol primer.

3) Glock 19 Gen 5 w/ OEM "Blue Striker Spring," 7# (31 Newton): 100% ignition success. Primer indents look just like how a factory weight spring would imprint on a small pistol primer.

4) Beretta M9A3 w/ factory hammer spring. Don't know the weight of hammer spring:
Roughly 80% ignition success. Primers that were set off had shallow indents.

5) SIG P365 w/ factory striker spring. Don't know the weight of the striker spring:
Roughly 50% ignition success. I'm not even sure if SIG or the aftermarket offers heavier striker springs for this handgun. At least from what I researched. Couldn't find any.

So from what I found it looks like I will only be using my Glocks with the 7# (31 Newton) striker spring for these particular primers in 9mm. Unless I want to practice a boat load of malfunction drills lol.

Hope you guys found this useful.
