    On my Gen 5 G19, I lightly sanded the complete outer edge of the grip cutout, *just taking off the sharp edge*. I also put around a .060" wide by 45 degree chamfer or bevel on the *inner* edge of the cutout where the mag is inserted. It pretty much eliminates any chance of the mag hanging up on the front inside edge of the magwell .

    A follow up to this thread...

    I picked up a Glock 17 Gen 5 this past weekend with Ameriglo sights.

    Looking at the gun, rear to front, the front sight was canted quite a bit to the left. I ended up putting the slide on the edge of a table and rested the front sight on the ledge. A couple taps on the slide and the sight was straightened. I checked the screw to make sure it was still tight and so far everything is good to go.

    One thing I did notice on this Glock was the amount of loctite (I'm guessing that's what they used) around the front sight and on top of the slide. I scrubbed the bejeezus out of it with a brush, rubbing alcohol and CLP. Got most of it off.

    My G19.5 rear sight was centered up. The others I looked at seemed okay as well. Tore my plastic sights off and installed CAPs.
