    I purchased the same rifle back in November 2023 and the only thing I am having issues with is the magazine. I was unaware that there are several different generations of the Glock 2145 ACP magazine. Apparently it comes in a G4 a G5 also FS model And it does not take ETS mags so I have to figure out something else to get a BOOM stick something that holds 30-40 round capacity.

    ​@@2aEdu For those individuals in the Audience who maybe slightly slower, yes there was some satire in my statement. However, with all great lies, must include an element of truth to be slightly plausible. I know I was comparing a rifle cartridge to a pistol cartridge, but my reference was toward bullet diameter, it's one thing to wanna shoot big bore, (i.e- .451-(2) diameter .45acp - .45 LC) although, in my morbid mentality, if I change platforms to a whole heavier rifle or a Carbine, and still shoot a .452 diameter projectile I want the extra 150- 220 grains. The only negative aspect is cost of BM over ACP. Although, right about now, it's not like .45acp is an easy and cheap date either. Love the personal format in which you present your videos.
