Yesterday, I went to the range with a focus to push to 1000 rounds. I wouldn’t have been difficult, as I already had 861 rounds through the gun before yesterday’s range visit.
It how has 1084 rounds through it. There were no fails to feed or extract this range visit, nor with any range visit. The 1084 rounds were error-free.
I didn’t post the information here, but during the range visit previous to yesterday’s, the recoil spring assembly (RSA) deconstructed. I was not aware that the recoil spring rod was a two-piece system and is screwed together. Well, the pieces became unscrewed. I wasn’t even aware it happened because I was focused on the target when shooting. I emptied the magazine and then looked down on the table to see the recoil rod lying on the table. I shoot with a GoPro and, when I got home, I reviewed the footage. The rod popped out but the gun still operated – I was able to finish the magazine without issue.
Does that constitute a failure? No. There was no stoppage and the gun continued to function.
I was able to reconstruct the RSA and applied thread locker to the rod when reassemblying it.
Needless to say, I’m impressed, especially since I’m currently carrying the gun, but I’m still planning to buy a DPM recoil spring assemby to replace the OEM RSA.
Next, I plan to test a 15-round Glock 48 magazine. I just need to buy one online since I can’t find them locally.
So, the goal was to reach 1000 rounds. I’ve achieved that goal, now I need to work on the 1000 round review.
The next gun to push to 1000 rounds will be the Fusion Firearms XP Comp, and that’s going to be fun!
