    Nice work on the Glocks. The spring you are calling 3# is actually 5# and the spring you are calling 2# is actually 4#.
    A Glock will not function properly with a 2# or 3# firing pin spring.

    I was just going with what the package says. I don't know the actual spring rates since I do not have a way to test it.

    Just did another one of my frames today (waiting for the slide to come in). Went a little more aggressive on the undercut than I did on my last one. Everything else is pretty much the same though.

    Looks good noob. I want to do one of mine but just haven't committed to practicing and then taking the jump to actually do a frame.

    I spent ~10-20 minutes on a pmag, and 30 minutes or so practicing on an a2 grip before I jumped on in to doing one of my frames. Guess b/c I have a bunch of glocks sitting around, I didn't mind messing up 1 (but it came out pretty good). In hind sight, I should of practiced my corners and how I was going to make my straight lines (tape vs a hard straight object vs a bendable ruler etc). But over all I'm happy with all of mine and learn along the way.

    Next up I will attempt a "diamond" pattern.

    I'm on the site and bought various different bits for both my wood burner and my dremel. Still cannot get as smooth of a border as the big names. I can get a border going. It eventually I'll mess up or the bit will pull itself in a direction I wasn't planning to go. I'll just stick with doing a my line work with the wood burner
