Pistol Holsters
Actually wraping the pistol Blackhawk Holster in a plastic bag and wetting down the inside of the holster does work. Keep the pistol in the Safariland Holsters till it dries. I took a very well made Pocket Holster made for High Power fit a 1911 Commander like a glove.
I just bought a Galco Cop Slide and the leather is pretty stiff and it is hard to pull out the weapon. What is a good way to break in the Pistol Magazines?
miltsparks recommends the plastic around the Pistol Holsters method (no water). it worked with my Safariland Holster��it's just enough to loosen new leather.

Glock 17 magazines
MO ,Just more complexity to potentialy cause problems,loose pins etc.
Besides,how could Glock 17 magazines do this without closing off the backstrap channel?Everyone knows that must remain open in order for a Glock to function properly!
If glock wants to follow the lead of other manufacturers, whose current designs more than likely will not even be on the market in ten years ,I think it would be a mistake!
If you cannot adjust to the Glock 17 magazine ergos the way they are ,you have lots of other choices.

Beretta Magazines
Shoot normal ammo & change the Beretta Magazine spring every couple thousand rounds or so & this gun will be shot by your grand-kids with the same accuracy as you get now."
Very sage advise. Couldn't have said it better myself. The Beretta Magazines 92 is NOT a delicate, dainty firearm. They work and work well, period.
Plus - magazines are cheaper, and recently flooded the EE. Parts are pretty easy to find. Since it's not uber-tacticooool like it was in the late 80s, used ones are really reasonable.
My spare parts kit for my Beretta Magazines are, trigger return springs, mainsprings, recoil springs, a locking block, spare barrel, a couple of grip screws and grip panels. I've only had to replace one trigger spring, and that was after shooting ~1200 rounds Egyptian SMG/FMJ ammo through it at after 5500 rounds.
I read this article about the reliability back when it was published

Rifle Scopes
was looking at the GRSC CRS Rifle Scope myself and really like everything it offers! I don't like that it's a Millett with w/ a great reticule because of the Millett's weight and less than stellar performance. Some of the things mentioned above (minus the ridiculous comparison to NCstar) including the fact that no more will be made in the foreseeable future, steered me away from it.
I've come across the new Burris Rifle Scopes XTR-14 and have decided on it. 1-4x24 illuminated horseshoe/dot 100-1000yds bdc calibrated for 5.56 62gr approx $550. I was very pleased with my Burris FFII for a $200 scope; FFII is their budget line while XTR is top of the line!
