Nothing is more aggravating than stopping a speed reload to strip out a misbehaving magazine - particularly when you're in the middle of a match. It costs time, it rattles your plan, and just shouldn't happen.

To combat this problem, I designed the "Drop-Away" floorplate - a solid brass (weighted) floorplate that helps force your magazines to drop clear. The "Drop-Away" floorplate closely resembles the old Glock "+2" floorplate in profile, but is actually a "+0" model. Our design makes full use of Glock's locking sub-floorplate, guaranteeing it will stay securely in place.

There are now a couple versions of the 9mm 10-rounders, and I learned the hard way that some of the early ones don't like 147-grain flat points. Other shooters may have experienced different results, but the 147-grain flat points that work wonderfully in my pre-ban mags jam roughly 1 round in 10 if I use them in my 10-round mags.

The .40's, however, run just fine, and will actually take the long bullets that work so well with non-drop-free magazines. (I've shot quite a few 195- and 200-grainers loaded out to 1.170, but I settled on 1.150 OAL in order to get along with my other mags.)
