I did not like the way the trigger housing moved when manipulating the trigger. So I added a brace. I printed it with tree supports that need to be cleaned up before using it.

I want to start appendix carrying my Glock 48. At the time I am writing this my current go to holster manufacture, Alien Gear, does not make an appendix holster for the Glock 48 MOS so I went with Harry’s Holsters, Singleton line. I also purchased the Dark Wing Right Hand and the Comfort Wedge Small, as both had been recommended while doing my research. I am VERY happy with the Holster and Wing, The comfort wedge….not so much. The reviews on the site are spot on with my findings.
“Foam to soft, flattened out, does push weapon closer to body somewhat but would have hoped it had been more dense as in previous product photos, so disappointed in the sponge.”
Here is what it looks like out of the packing:
Holster Wedge Original Top and SideHolster Wedge Original Side
I was not paying attention when I ordered and thought it would be a denser material shown in older reviews. This is how I fixed it for me.
I had a Harbor Freight Anti-Fatigue Foam Mat laying around. I cut a few pieces to the same length and width as the comfort wedge.
Then Gorilla glue and a clamp:
I made 2 versions, one with two pieces and one with three.
In the center is Harry’s Holsters Comfort Wedge for reference:
Stuck on the hook side of hook and loop (Velcro) on one side:
Not very pretty but functional. No one but me will see anyway.
For me the double stack is working out great!
If it continues to work out I might clean it up a bit and cut a curve at the bottom to help it slide in place better and clean up the sides. I will post if I figure out the best way to do it.
A set of 4 mats from Harbor Freight is $9.99, I used ~2 inch top slice of 1 mat. I had the Velcro and glue on hand.

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.

Glock pistols are mass produced using stamped parts. That is not a bad thing, just the way it is. Because of that, a part will sneak in with a less than desirable finish. I am of the belief that you should inspect all you parts for defects and burrs.
In this case, I found a bur on the safety plunger.

I filed down the burr with a small file, being careful not to remove to much material.

When it met my stringent standards I polished it up:

A compensator is a muzzle device designed to reduce muzzle rise. A compensator will “compensate” for a firearm muzzle’s rise after you fire a shot, this directly affects follow-up shots because they help you recover your sight picture by shooting flatter.
There are many articles about what is best out there. We leave that up to you.
You want to make sure your compensator is timed correctly. Timing is simply insuring that the ports are properly positioned. With the proper tools and hardware provided with your device I can get you timed and aligned correctly.

We all know the factory Glock sights are notoriously poor, so let me replace them! I take a lot of care to make sure the sights on your pistol are installed and aligned correctly. I have a very nice sight pusher tool that drifts the sights on and off without the need of a punch or hammer. Using such a tool protects tritium vials from breaking, prevents marring of the slide, and the sights.

I just picked up the Recoil Management System, Versatility Kit from the great folks at SpringCO for my Glock 19 Gen 5. I wanted to show what I did to get it installed. It was pretty straight forward and easy to do.
Here are the parts that came in the package.
SpringCO Glock Recoil Management System Whats Included
I am going to install the Green 13# spring. As this is a non-captured setup I will be trying the 15 and 17 pound springs in the near future and keeping the one I like best and works best for my situation.

Remove the existing recoil spring

Make sure the Guide Rod Forward Bushing goes in with the small section forward as show in the picture:

There are several videos that explain what is going on with the system when it is installed. I wanted to share my experience getting it installed.

I started working on a holder for the AR15 Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) Pins. The idea came from School of the American Rifle. I wanted to be able to remove the pins if needed. I also did not want to paint my pins for GO / Warn / NO-GO. Here is what I came up with.
Got everything printed up in the right colors and numbers. You can switch it up how ever you like:
Everything printed up in the right colors
Then I put it all together. I had to cleanup everything with sandpaper, file and an Exacto knife. With a little help from a small nylon hammer. I got everything in place. Even tried a little infill using model paint.

Added all the pins in:

So far it is working out pretty good. It is another tool in the toolbox when troubleshooting AR15 Bolt Carrier Groups (BCG) The pin sizes are born out of the data I pulled from my research HERE.
