Hi,
I just had a first range session with my brand new Advantage Arms .22lr conversion kit for the Glock Gen 5.
I ran it on my all stock Glock 19 gen5 and it ran flawless 60 shots without a single malfunction. Fast fire with up to 5 or 6 cases still in air was no issue at all. The stock 15 round mags are empty in a second.
Accuracy was surprisingly good.
With my Glock 17 Gen 5 I have a Timney trigger installed I had a few stoppages. Out of 60 shots fired, I had two failures to fire with a good strike on the shell. The same shells fired on second try. And about 3 times I had failure to load the next round, because the shell wasn't pushed up by the magazine. I blame the magazine, but also the timney trigger. The problem with the timney trigger is that it sits a tiny bit higher when the trigger is not fully pulled back and thus the slide rides on the trigger bar, if you do not pull the trigger all the way to the back taking away the full force of the slide to strip a shell and load the next round.
I think with the stock trigger, also the Glock 17 will run just fine.
This was wit CCI Blazers which provide about 1200 fps.
Overall I'm quite happy with the conversion kit.
Does anyone else have similar experience with Advantage Arms and the Timney Trigger installed? I'd love to improve reliability of the slide with the timney trigger. With the Stock trigger it ran flawless.
