I am working to migrate THR from the current cluster to a new one. I would like to get this done before the weekend, but it's unclear what the timeframe will be, as testing is still ongoing. As I am writing this the new (rebuilt) host is doing a burn-in to ensure that everything will keep running under load.
When the migration happens users will see a Cloudflare message indicatating it cannot connect to the server. This is expected, and depending on how the migration goes this may last from 30 minutes to 3 hours - I won't know more until testing the various migration options is complete and I have finalized the plan.
More information is available in this thread.
As always, thanks so much for your patience.
They're supposed to all drop free (after gen 1 but they don't IME. That's my only gripe.
and they're a pita to dissemble for cleaning. If Meggars are functional and come with a differing floor plate, will buy some.
18 rounds (which is full size gun capacity) in a compact sized gun will be a huge draw for many. I don't see people buying and hoarding as many Mec-Gar mags as they do OEM Glock mags, but I can see some people buying one, two, or 3 of them to compliment their stock Glock mags if they prove to be reliable.
Just about all other hand and rifle platforms to ever have existed are made of metal, and they all drop free just fine provided they're designed correctly. I guess I don't understand why Glock still uses polymer on their mags at the cost of reduced capacity. If anything, they should have went with metal mags for their single stacks.
To be clear the 18 round mags for the G19 are extended, G17 length with a sleeve. The flush fit one for the G19 holds 16 rounds.
Ahh, then I don't see the point just to gain an extra round

Same here which is why I was confused.
According to Gun.Deals, several vendors are selling Glock 17 mags for $19 NIB, so I reckon they both can be found for around the same price.
Always needed a really good reason to get anything but OEM. In most cases, MecGar is OEM. Not certain what to think in this case.
A buddy fought a long battle, trying to up the capacity of his 43, rather than getting a P365. After intermittent issues, he finally foreswore his allegiance to the Big G, and got the SIG. He really tried to make the other mags (Shield?) work, and did go to a steel mag catch.
One of life's great mysteries, why Glock is so wedded to their poly mags. The first ones were entirely poly, and any number of MFGs have now gone to poly (MagPul NATO, and Scorpion mags among them).
According to a former Glock employee I talked to at SHOT some years ago, Gaston wanted it that way, knew that they could increase capacity by going to metal mags, and was still completely unwilling to change. Maybe things will change now that he's passed--I don't know.
It's funny to think that the Glock 42, 43, and 48 would have beat the Sig P365, Hellcat, and Shield Plus to micro-compact market if they had just introduced it with a metal mags instead of polymer. They had to have lost millions in sales and counting to the competition because of that decision. Introducing a the single stack G43 with only 6+1 round capacity when all the other single stacks of that era were 7+1 or 8+1 was also mind boggling establishly since the G43 wasn't any smaller. I reckon that they are doing so well and make so much in government and law enforcement contracts to give a darn though.
