This one comes from Rocco “Ty” Preston, who writes:
Hi Robin, just wanted to send you a pic of my limited gun built on a Glock 22 frame. Using your barrel block. It's amazing how fast I can track the front sight.(Ty asked us to use these pictures because they show how little the sight moves compared to a stock gun.)
Many of you have called in, asking for a VP9-specific magwell. We’ve got a “Beta” part available now in our on-line store. As the name implies, this is a working prototype, run off on a 3D printer.
The VP9 part looks identical to the P30 (the gun at right is a P30), but there are many small differences.

Here’s an image of a totally “built-out” Sight Block gun, with all the bells and whistles.
“Your Taylor Freelance Front Sight Block is an Amazing product,” says Noel Zarza in a recent e-mail. “It’s a complete Glock game changer for USPSA, right next to the Tooth and Nail Thumb Rest.”
The pistol at right belongs to Zarza, a state-certified CCW instructor in Illinois. The base gun is actually a .357 Sig Glock 31, re-configured to shoot .40S&W using one of our drop-in kits.

Spent the day working with our draftsman to refine an HK VP9-specific version of our popular HKP30 magwell. Simultaneously, we worked on upgrading our soon-to-be released HKP30/VP9 +0 basepad. (Currently being tested by competitive shooters Tavis Miller and TJ Lurvey.)
At right you’ll see version “C” of the magwell, and version “B” of the basepad, both including tweaks suggested by advanced HK shooters.
“Zombie green” doesn’t make for a very pretty picture (we use green for prototyping), but it tells all you HK fans what’s coming.
With the follower removed, a proper spring will protrude from the top of the magazine as shown.
If you purchased an HKP30/VP9 magazine extension from us in November/December, take a minute to check your springs — the supplied spring may be defective.
Your HK springs should slide into the magazine easily, without dragging on the sidewalls. Depending on the exact shape of the top coil, without the follower attached, it should slide all the way up until it protrudes out the top of the magazine. (See photo.)
If you have a caliper handy, you can also check the width of the bottom coils. They should measure approximately .658 inches. The defective batch we’ve identified measures .720.
We don’t have an exact number on how many “bad” springs are in circulation, but we expect the number is less than 50. If you have a defective spring, please return it to us for immediate replacement!
