MistakenMexican

Hi all, I couldn’t find a thread specifically about the GHM9, so I thought I’d start one. I previously had two, the GHM9-G (glock mags) and GHM9-K (MP9 mags). I sold the GHM9-K recently as I didn’t use it. But I kept the GHM9-G as I use it and want to use it more. I really like it, however out of the box it has one big flaw - it’s gas efficiency. The stock mag only allows you to load 30bbs, which I think was probably strategic when they realised it wouldn’t finish a long mag. It would be fine in the height of summer, I could finish a 50rd mag. But terrible in typical British weather. Recently I’ve fitted a 230mm TBB which is hidden in the supressor and runs into a tracer. However, the muzzle energy shot up from 1.1J to 1.6J. This prompted me to find a way to reduce the muzzle power and increase the gas efficiency. This resulted in a nozzle valve spacer and a short stroke spacer. I also found my GHM9 stock had nothing on the end, so I made a knurled butt plate for the stock. I don’t have any photos, but there was quite a bit of work involved in getting guarder magazines to fit. I’ll have to wait until winter, but I’m hoping the end result is something that runs all year around!

Nozzle breaking: that sounds like a set up issue. The nozzles shouldn’t be breaking so frequently. Have you fitted a GM v3.5 nozzle? I’ve fitted those and they seem to be pretty robust. I’ve also heard nozzles snapping can occur from over-loading the magazines with bbs. Maybe try putting a few less bbs in each mag? you could also look at a stronger nozzle return spring. mags leaking: if properly maintained and stored, they shouldn’t leak. My pistol mags are stored in a peli case with a desiccant and pressure valve. Of the 50, only 5 leaked after 6 months in a storage container (when I moved house) and presently those 5 are the only ones that leak and that’s because the orings have perished. if you store them with a low pressure, high silicone gas, they’ll likely stay gas tight indefinitely. I used to to abbey maintenance gas but recently moved to ultra air because it’s cheaper.

Just be wary, the police have a lot more time for “violent” and “real” crime than they do “non-violent” crimes like theft and shoplifting. They’ll be more inclined to arrest you and charge you with assault for laying a hand on the thief whilst retrieving your stolen goods back, than they are inclined to charge the burglars. Lots of these thieves will know how to play the system as well. They’ll make their assault and lower hanging fruit than the theft of your belongings.

“Hey Alexa, shoot the bad guys” Also - their website seems abit contrary. glock - introducing the *brand new* G17L gen5 MOS also glock - discontinuing the G17L gen5 MOS

I heard a rumour from IWA at the G45 & G45 MOS sales were outstripping every other model and glock were considering reducing all the models that competed with the G45 MOS. Did put much weight in it as it was pub talk. Sounds like my friend might have been speaking some truth. In other news (with the help of Facebook translate) it sounds like the new batch of G17.5s might ship in Japan soon. Maybe on 2nd May?in

It’s a British G17:

Rumours are true, they’re doing a G34 gen5 MOS!

Yeah, first time I did it, I panicked as I thought I’d really f*cked it. I couldn’t get the sear back in with my bare hands 🙈 luckily I buy so much shadowfoam I had a pair of forceps to hand and managed to jiggle it in using them. No idea how you get it in barehanded.

Second half of the gen5 disassembly video

The new agency arms slides just landed on my doorstep today 👍🏽 pretty happy with the first one! shamless plug, but I’ve started recording some of the tech work I do, and as a result, I’m in the process of publishing a few tech videos on the gen5 MOS. Have a look and let me know if you lot think it’s helpful?

Yeah, the gen2 mags are backwards compatible. They seem to have better gas stored and gas output compared to the old mags. I find my older glocks run much better on the newer mags, so whilst they’re quite expensive, they seem worth it. They’re still heavy compared to the guarder, prowin and TTI mags.
