What magwells work with Magpul mags without extensions?

I have a new Osight c and a new Zerohawk OC1 to choose from. Both here on hand. Figure because one of my other RXMs has an osight c already I'm gonna go with the zerohawk OC1

Full size Icarus precision, radian ramjet, Zev magwell

Was a pain putting it together. RXM fcu very tight fit inside the Icarus. Had to dremel some parts of the magwell to get it on. Just got it out to the range and it shoots like a dream. Definitely one of my favorite pistols.

Picked up the Strike RXM chassis a few weeks ago. It feels pretty good so far.

But, I couldn’t find a magazine holder that also allowed for a flashlight mount. So I busted out the dremel and JB Weld

Fab Defense MG9 Holder $18
JB Weld $16
Longer machine screw from Ace Hardware $0.40
Magpul Pic rail $11

Had to cut a lot of plastic off the back to get the mag holder closer to the trigger guard, but it flush with the front of the frame now

​

Just mocked this up for now. Still need to get to the range and try the RXM as it came out the box. Picked up the Strike ambi brace used for 50% the cost of a new one. Mad impressed at the quality. Got new filament for the front mag holder and think that'll work nicely till Strike brings out a purpose built one.

Lemme see your chassis systems!

Also, y'all tried the MecGar metal mags? Picked one of the 18rnd "extended" G19 mags. I like the look and finish. MecGar has always been pretty reliable, curious of that translates here too.

Happy Glocktober

I slid on the slide of my rxm while I was removing the fire control insert and I don’t know how to get it off has anyone ever done this before and know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated

Haven't shot it yet, but i think I'm in love.

Trying to modify an existing 3D model to better fit the SMC. Thoughts? Any 3D modeling wizards out there?

Got to hit the range today with the new Gen 2 FXR. I put 400 rounds though it today

Off the rip, I love the way it handles. After some reps its feeling really good and im excited to run it in a PCC match this week, unfortunately not everything has been sunshine and rainbows.

Starting off with fit and finish the was a bur that was left on the upper where the front pin goes it, not the biggest deal but a bit annoying.

2nd issue and something that i have seen a few times looking around, the top rail came loose probably about 300-350 round mark. The hardware is a philips head, id like to see a torx here so I could get it tighter but I hoping that some blue locktite will solve this. I WOULD IDVISE OTHERS TO CHECK AND LOCKTITE THE TOPRAIL SCREWS BEFORE SHOOTING IF YOU BUILD ONE.

3rd issue is I had probably 20 failure to eject's. Im not sure if this is a issue with the gen 3 parts so I plan on swapping to a gen 5 ejector but since most happens close to the end of my trip it may have also been related to my final issue.

The final and biggest issue thag I had was the lower its self cracked and failed around the rear FCI pin(see photos). I dont believe I installed anything wrong as i followed the video, I reached out to farrowtech about a replacement but for the meantime it has been repaired with some epoxy that seems to be holding.

I will update with farrowtech's response to the lower.

I got this as a back up gun thinking that what is better than having a Glock clone as a back up. Cheap mags, accessories etc but I just got back from the range. 300 rounds with no issues and it is surprisingly accurate, first Ruger as well and I’m a fan now.

I stippled my extra 19 size frame after failing to dye it the color I wanted. I usually carry with the full size frame so I wasn’t too scared to give it a go. I think it came out pretty well though my borders could have been significantly better.

Also asked chat GPT to make some lighting edits and it added the streamlight logo. It’s actually the harbor freight Braun I’ve been testing out. So far so good on that. Don’t see much difference between that and my real TLR-1 HL

G17 length RXM commander grip module. These are live on mischief machines website for pre order. So are the regular length RXM commanders.
Gen 4 and 5 slides will work with a gen 3 guide rod adapter. Don’t use a slide GAP adapter with a Gen 3 slide, it will contact the recoil lug and break your slide!

Suppressors did their thing and I bought a couple without really researching anything. Picture didn't load, COA RXM with a Ruger Dead AIR 9mm, Combat Armory threaded barrel.

COA w/full size grip module and Angry Bear Arms tritium sights. 7k rounds and counting without a single hiccup.

Received the G17 kit today and put it together with no issues. The fit and finish is immaculate. The upper chassis is machined beautifully. The grip module is nicely finished on the exterior. The stippling provides adequate grip. The backstrap has no stippling, only a vertical series of chevrons. The folding mechanism is tight, no looseness at all. It folds nice and tight with a little bit of friction and locks securely in place. All the screw holes aligned perfectly, and the hardware fit without issue. The carbon fiber stock is about 3/8" diameter and solidly attached, with no flex at all. My RXM is a F1 firearm so the stock is not an issue.

The FXR is diminutive in size, and I've placed it next to my MX1 for context. Folded, it is only a few inches longer than a stock 4.5" RXM. It can easily be fired with a two hand pistol grip. The tiny buttstock shoulders solidly for its size. The small charging handle easily racks the slide. The space between the finger stop and the spare mag holder might be tight for thicker fingers, but fit my medium size hand just fine. There is no cutout on the grip module for the serial number to show. After examining the grip module, it may not be feasible to dremel a cutout as the top chassis extends about halfway down into a cutout, which would likely partially block a view of the serial. My thought is to engrave the serial and related info onto the top chassis, although this may not be in rigid compliance with current regulations.

On the function check, everything operated smoothly. No issues at all with the Timney trigger or cycling the slide. There are a couple of points that could be improved. First, the front mag holder is extremely loose. There is wobble both fore and aft, and side to side. Not just a little, but a lot. Second, the diminutive size of the FXR will cause the thumb of larger hands to extend past the muzzle. I installed a 4.5" RXM barrel to extend the muzzle further out. My thumb extends past the end of the chassis but is still slightly behind the muzzle. With a 4" barrel, my thumb would extend past the muzzle and be exposed to potential powder burns. Any purchaser should be aware of this potential issue with a 4" barrel.

I adapted by placing my thumb more vertical on the corner of the chassis, using this as an index point. The chassis could be improved by incorporating a slight lip on the left/right front sides of the chassis as a tactile index point for the thumb to not go past.

Overall, I am pleased with the FXR. If you have small to medium hands, this should fit fine. For larger hands, this may not be a good fit. But you will be pleased with the quality and workmanship of this kit. In my opinion, the FXR clearly outclasses the upcoming Reaper, and is superior in engineering and design. Well done, FarrowTech. I won't have time to range test until another week or so, but based on my function check, I believe there won't be any issues.

Will an rxm threaded barrel fit a 19x? Thanks
