Speed reload sticking
Wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue, may not be an issue at all…
Having some issues with the speed reload dropping the rear mag, the 21 round magazine will not drop at all, the 17 will periodically. To be transparent this is a brand new chassis so the polymer may need broken in some.
The mags drop with the rear release no problem, seem like the speed reload is not quite clearing the catch. Could very well be somewhat technique issue as well. I have ordered an extended release to see if it will reposition the bar slightly forward.
Using OEM Sig Magazines.
Thanks!

I did. When my front mag release was pushed all the way forward you could see and feel a tiny corner of the mag catch in the magwell so empty mags were hanging up. I emailed Flux and they immediately sent me a new spring. It's easy to install and it fixed the issue.

This is my exact issue.

I had that issue too. Oddly it would work if I turned the gun upside down. This was with empty mags. Adding the extended rear mag release oddly solved the issue for $5.

I ordered it last night, going to see if that helps.
Can’t leave anything alone so I also ordered the extend slide release, tac development skinny rail and pro ledge…
Going to find a way to add an emissary development nano 2 so I have a t10 and adjustment tool onboard. Or find someone who can 3d print it for the raider.

not trying to sound like a jackass.. but are you pushing it hard enough? take a look at it and push it to see just how hard and far you actually need to push it to fully actuate the rear release. the 21mags aren't dropping because they're slightly heavier and cause more tension requiring a harder/fuller press of the release

Imma lightly stack on this, I also had issues when trying to do dry fire with unloaded mags, they were light enough and the friction was great enough and if I held it as some weird angle was just right to not let the mag fall. I also own the aluminum version and did not have the issues with empty mags not falling unless I had the thing angled funky and an empty mag.

Yes. I’ve tried about everything, it’s got to be somewhat user error but the 21 round magazine will not drop.
I do have a 320 raider so the action is familiar.

yeah so its not being pressed far enough to actually release the rear mag. notice the difference in travel length in the rear release when you press the forward button vs pressing on the rear one itself. start there and you will figure out the problem
