Got a tracking number from them about an hour after that email and it shows departed from Nevada and is due at my house Monday.

The inability to meet a shipping deadline they provided was a bit frustrating but 5.5 weeks for a product that is in fairly high demand and according to their website now is back ordered a few weeks doesn't really upset me much.

They were pretty up front with me that it was going to take a while. Which was fine since the gun was going to be at ATEi for a while anyway. I mean there aren't any dealers with them in stock right now. If any get any they're gone within a day or two.

On he one hand, just about anyone who asks seems to get a shipping label that day. Myself included. So maybe here's something to it.

That is annoying, but at this point I don't know if I'll ever even get mine. I wouldn't be too surprised if it never shows up.

USPS is the worst..

KKM finally came through. They're busy, I get it, honestly. Not a pleasant experience though. Comp came dinged up too, hard to capture with a photo. Oh well, it's a tool.

What ammo are people having the most success with in this type of setup? I keep getting failure to feeds with American Eagle 124gr and having keyholing issues and horrible accuracy with Asym Precision 147gr reman ammo. S&B 115gr ammo seems to work the best for me since it is loaded to hotter pressures. What other options are you guys running?

Sample size of one range trip and 150 rounds... 147 Federal American Eagle did fine. Round #2 was a FTF but never happened again. Accuracy was nice as well.

I have had amazing accuracy with the ASYM 147 remans in both a KKM setup and with a Lone Wolf barrel and the TBRCi comp. Also had great luck with Speer lawman 124 and 147 as well as Federal HST 124+P and 147. Are you running a stock recoil spring assembly?

What barrel are you running? I am having no issues with any ammo but I am running a SiCo barrel and a texes comp.

Running KKM barrel and comp with a stock recoil spring. Currently it is in a glock 19 MOS setup.

Weapon Outfitters anticipates a shipment of black melonited KKM barrel+comps arriving shortly and has pre-orders up.

While this isn't strictly a Roland component and not even close (it makes it g17 size instead of g34), what do you guys think of this? http://www.mayhem-syndicate.com/shop...nsator-for-g19

Might work very well with an inforce apl?
