Glock Safety Plunger Holder and Polishing

When polishing any small part like the Glock safety plunger using buffung wheels on my grinder the part would at times go flying out and get damaged or temporarly lost. To help with that I create and print the Glock Safety Plunger Holder. I have different versions for different models and generations:

Plunger Holder.stl:

Glock Gen 1-5 Sfty Holder — Plunger Holder.stl

Glock Gen 1-5 Sfty Holder Reverse — Plunger Holder.stl

Gen 5:

Plunger Holder Shallow.stl

Glock Gen 1-5 Sfty Holder Shallow — Plunger Holder Shallow.stl

Glock Gen 1-5 Sfty Holder Shallow Reverse — Plunger Holder Shallow.stl

Gen 5:

Plunger Holder with Lip.stl – I am testing this one out. I added the lip to see if it would help hold the Glock Safety Plunger a bit better…

Plunger Holder G43 G48.stl

Glock G43-G48 Sfty Holder — Plunger Holder G43 G48.stl

Plunger Holder G43 G48 Shallow.stl

Glock G43-G48 Sfty Holder Shallow — Plunger Holder G43 G48 Shallow.stl

Plunger Holder G43 G48 Reverse.stl

Glock G43-G48 Sfty Holder Reverse — Plunger Holder G43 G48 Reverse.stl

Plunger Holder G43 G48 Reverse Shallow.stl

Glock G43-G48 Sfty Holder Shallow Reverse — Plunger Holder G43 G48 Reverse Shallow.stl

I usually print these up when I have just a bit of filament left. Then toss it in a drawer till needed.

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 Trigger Jig Update

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.

Works pretty good!

Appendix Carry Wedge – Harry’s Holster

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:

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.

Hope this helps someone out!

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.

A bore guide with holding pin for AR-10 .308

I have been using a bore guide on my AR15s for several years. I recently purchased a .308 AR10 and set out to make one for it.

I liked @ThomasXIII threaded middle shown HERE So I made mine with the same threaded center.

I also made a hold down pin to keep everything in place.

Safety Plunger De-Bur and Polish

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:

Dropped it back in, runs like a champ!

Compensator Install

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.

Here are a couple Shots of what I do:

AR compensator Service 1 — AR compensator Service

AR compensator Service 2 — AR compensator Service
