Training – Viking Armory

Glock 48 Dry Fire Thing

I want to do some dry fire training without having to rack the slide each time. I created my own version of the zip tie or cardboard hack for Glocks. Google it, lots of info out there.

It is a low profile and in my opinion a bit ‘cleaner’ so I can use all my holsters, without any other changes to the weapon.

With this method, the trigger no longer has reset and break. Instead it just moves freely back and forth. It is not ideal, but allows dry fire training without cycling the firearm.

Glock 48 Rail Mount

The glock 48 front rail is smaller than standard rails making it much harder to find anything that fits it. To help remedy this I made two slide over versions:

Picatinny:

And a Mantis X mount:

I would not use it for EDC / real world use. I made it to mount my Mantis trainer and various lights to see if I would like them on this weapon.

I plan on making a more secure version soon.

Glock Training Setup II – Adding a Little Flare

I got the Dry Fire Magazine Glock 19 Gen 5 half moon issue described HERE fixed. I designed and printed a magwell insert to plug the half moon and give me a little flare:

Just slide it in:

And your DryFireMag (DFM) will slide right in:

Safety Check…

Install the mag-well and slide the Dry Fire Magazine in:

Need to hold on a bit when removing the DFM

Glock training setup

I have had my MantisX and DryFireMag (DFM) for about a week and 250 ‘shots’. So far they have met all of my needs, I am happy with the purchase.

The only complaint I have is not with the DFM, it is my Glock 19 Gen 5 and the half moon hole in the mag well. It is yet another issue with Glocks short lived half moon.

There is no flare on the cutout, so the DFM pin wont slide in and allow the magazine to seat. You have to manually push the pin in until it is passed the half moon cutout. Then it will slide into position and work like a champ.

This is not an issue with other Glocks as the magazine wells are flared.

Just give it a good push, follow the instructions and you are in business.

When I use the MantisX with the Dry Fire Mag I want to leave my light on and train as I carry. I would also like to use all my existing holsters for holster drills. To accomplish this I made a base plate with a built in Picatinny rail to mount the MantisX on.

It is easy to install. Slide off the factory plate. Dont worry there are no springs that will pop out or parts that will fly. Slide on the new one.

Then Clip on the MantisX

Train.
