I’ve been experiencing major feeding issues using these mags (9mm) with my Vector and other Glock magazine compatible PCC’s and pistols.

I’ve noticed that once the magazine gets to about 15 rounds, there is almost zero tension left in the spring. The follower/rounds can be almost effortlessly pushed down, causing the next round to not raise fast enough for the bolt to catch it and chamber it.

I pulled my mags apart today (I have 6) and all but one had zero tension once the bottom plate is unlatched.

I know replacing the springs is the correct fix, but for now I stretched them back out. I’ll replace them during the next Kriss site wide sale.

Just showing here what they should look like versus being completely collapsed.

Middle picture is showing a stretched spring on the right and an existing collapsed spring on the left with the bottom plate unlatched.

I leave these mags fully loaded in the safe, as I believed that “using a spring, compressing and uncompressing, weakens it, not storing it under tension”. I no longer believe this, and probably will leave all but one unloaded from now on.

I’m sure this is known, but I took a chance on some half price eBay slings. It’s most definitely a counterfeit copy of the Magpul QDM sling. The qdm mounts are very loose fitting, the retaining pins that hold the two halves together fall out when used, and the mechanism does not work in the down position as real QDM connectors do. The depth of the markings on the slider and locks are different than real Magpul. The plastic is shiner and the wrong color. I have many real store bought Magpul slings to compare to, and these are 100% poor counterfeit copies.

I even contacted to seller prior to purchase and asked if they were authentic, and they promised they were. I should have realized it by the packaging.

Trying to add some beneficial info out to the world and Google search to help the next person out thinking they stored big by trying the half-priced eBay Magpul slings.

I'm looking for community input on an issue I'm currently facing with Palmetto State Armory regarding a recent purchase.

I bought a Panzer Arms ARP9 in FDE, and the PSA website's photo clearly showed it coming with the manufacturer's pistol brace. However, when I opened the box, the brace was missing.

When contacted, their customer service stated that because it wasn't explicitly mentioned that it WAS included in the text description, that it ISNT included, even though it was pictured. This feels like buying a car from an online listing where the photos show wheels, an engine, and seats, only to go pick it and and the dealer to say those items are extra because the text didn't explicitly say they were included. Sorta expected it came with it??

According to FTC guidelines on truth in advertising, retailers generally must include a clear, conspicuous disclaimer if a core component isn't included, and it is industry standard to do so explicitly.

To add to the frustration, PSA today sent out an email with the same ARP9 in black that included the pistol brace for $30 more. I asked the customer service rep if, to solve this issue, they would sell me the pistol brace for that $30 difference, and the answer was no.

The fact that all of the reviews for this specific FDE listing show that other buyers also expected the pistol brace and did not receive it, proves the advertisement is misleading.

I know I could have refused the transfer, but I’m gonna keep this thing either way.

So what does the community think about this? Should I just chalk it up to bad luck and unfounded expectations… and pay the extra $100 for the brace (plus shipping and tax), or would you feel the same way?

It says I tried to sell weapons, and I’ve never listed a weapon for sale on marketplace. It also does not give me an option to request a review. Am I cooked?

Been eyeing one of these for a while. Bass pro and their 10% club members days got me. The brown 407k from PSA goes well with it. And the TLR-7 HL-X is surprising for its size. Rotating between this, a shield plus with an SCS carry, my 19x/HRS RMR, and my Kimber Micro for pocket carry.

The first revolver I ever purchased. Love this thing.
