Glock 44 15 Round Magazine Upgrade

I want to give my Glock 44 as many rounds as my Glock 19. To do so I made some changes to the alex alex Glock 44 15 round magazine upgrade found in several places on the internet. I started with foxalex extension found on HERE on thingiverse. I added a slot for the magazine spring and side catches to help it hold better. My remix can be found HERE

I used THIS follower. Make sure it is clean with no sharp edges and overhangs.

I attached it to a Walther PPQ 22 15+1 Replacement Magazine Spring. I did not want stretch my factory spring as suggested in some of the online articles. I like to keep all my factory parts as original as I can.

Then I slid the spring assembly into the magazine and made sure it slid without getting caught and hanging up on anything.

Slid the base back on:

For the final product:

Glock 44 15 round magazine complete — G44 15 round mag complete

I put around 100 rounds through it so far without issues. I will try and keep this post updated.

Do a basic polish. When that is done put a very slight bevel on the face of the ledge.

Glock Trigger Shoe Modifications

The above are average measurements. It is polymer, it moves so you will not get consistent measurements. They are mass produced and can vary in size between batch runs. The trigger I had at the time had the above measurements. Yours might vary. “A” was my distance to the center of the trigger bar slot.

We want to get the screw hole centered in front of the trigger bar slot (A) left to right and at the height of the front curve.

You are going to need Standard Trigger:

 2 - 56 3/16 long stainless steel socket set screw 
 2 - 56 3/8 long stainless steel socket set screw for trigger bar
 .035 Allen Wrench
 #50 drill bit
 2 - 56 tapered tap

You are going to need Performance Trigger:

 2 - 56 3/16 long stainless steel socket set screw
 2 - 56 3/8 long stainless steel socket set screw for trigger bar
 .035 Allen Wrench
 #50 drill bit
 2 - 56 tapered tap

Using the #50 drill bit, drill a hole 9 mm down and center of the trigger bar slot. Make sure it is straight. I use my Dremel Drill press to do this. Slowly work the 2 – 56 tap through it.

Front Shot:

Looks pretty centered:

While I am at it, I drilled and tapped the safety and trigger bar holes with the above tools and threaded in 2 – 56 x 3/8” set screws

Once I am confident that everything is setup correctly, I will seal the deal with Loctite 425

I modified the safety on this trigger as well

Here is what the trigger safety looks like unmodified:

There are 4 different cuts I am going to try.

Never cut off more than shown in the last example.

Here is the start of my testing:

Glock Polish Job – Firing Pin

Using the polishing items in the notes HERE I did the example below:

Here are is a before shot:

I am trying to show the firing pin face in this one. Notice the grooves:

General Cleaning / Shine polish to all areas. Careful not to remove too much from the YELLOW areas and the firing pin tip.

The Face area is what you want to get butt ass smooth.

Foredom Yoke

I wanted to make a Yoke assembly for my Foredom motor, something like this one.

I had this big bearing from a previous project. This led me to create 2 versions:

Big Bearing:

And a standard 608 Skate Board Bearing version:

The insert works for both:

Looks and works pretty good! I have been using the large bearing version for around 6 months with no issue. I am not a heavy Foredom user, it is a tool in my tool box.
