I am torn between using 21 ga headless pins and 23 ga which would dictate which gun I buy. Can anyone tell me if there are disadvantages of using 21ga

23 ga pins are more common, come in more sizes, and are more discreet. 21 is better for production. Whatever you do, DONT BUY A Grex. Look at fasco, senco and porter cable

The main difference is holding power, discreteness, and availability. The 21 ga will hold better, but it will make a more noticeable hole. Also I've seen 23 ga on more store shelves. Both are good options, so I hope that helps.

I absolutely love the 23 ga headless pinner from Grex. I would not trade it for a 21ga if you paid me. I picked this item up after watching some of the work that Gary Streigler does and couldn't be happier. Very first project I put clove molding (a variant to 1/4 round) around the perimeter of the first floor after installing hardwood and you absolutely can't see the pin heads in a stained piece. The heads are almost invisible in a painted situation, easily painted over or covered without showing. go for the 21ga grex you won't be sorry!

Sure, the disadvantage to the 21 ga. Vs the 23 ga. is that you are trying to make your fastening as invisible as you can. And I don't think you can do better than Grex.

The only thing I could think of is that a 21 guage is going to make a bigger hole.

Hello John, I use this rig for my FN Browning High Power 9mm but it runs a bit loose in the rig and I have to customize it a bit somehow however, my Glock 21 gen 4 fits real nice with a fair amount of room on the bottom of the frame under the slide where the light would attache if your using the . I cannot guarantee that the 22 will fit with the laser/light attached as I have no way of knowing what light you have and it's configuration/size. It may fit but you might try contacting wherever your thinking of purchasing the rig with your gun model and style of laser/light or brand and the dimensions from the top of slide at barrel and the drop or distance to the bottom of the laser light width needed for ability to slide in/out of rig. Any questions don't hesitate to ask As a side note is that Glock 22 a 3rd gen or 4th seems there have been some problems with 3rd gen 22's which causes issues with malfunctions caused by mounted lights - Google "Glock pistols and mounted lights"

There good for smaller guns. It said ten pounds on the box, but my things are much heavier. I bought two but decided to just get a couple stronger ones for shot guns, rifles, and just badass desert eagles. For a Walter or a 380, perfect.....but beretta 9mm or higher...get a stronger. Now I never tested my glocks, but I have a g23 with extended clips, two taped together with a nice light and laser attached....so I never tried. But what r you working with?

That's a good question. I have only used the three die set for my pistol reloading and I have never had a problem. The fourth die is a special crimping die that many people use but I have not had a problem crimping with the third die. I'm loading 45s now and there is a good jolt when those 230 grains get to moving. So far I have not had any bullets get loose in the magazine but the fourth die does, I am sure, provide a stronger crimp. If you are loading lead bullets then I would suggest the fourth die. Otherwise I am going to stick to the primary three.

There are lots of opinions on that. Stick with the same length and weight bolt that comes with it (can't remember exact specs at the moment.) I've shot a few different types of 100 gr. broad heads and all flew with the same degree of accuracy.

I recommend using high quality bbs simply for the fact that the gun performs 10 times better. The low quality bbs will break inside of the gun and cause numerous jams. Low quality bbs are almost any brand of bbs from Walmart and places like that. My personal favorite is tsd or g&g; bbs

Most .20 6mm BBs should work fine, although I've heard super cheap ones are sometimes not as good. You can go with a heavier weight, but you'll have to adjust hop-up and will get less fps. Stay away from .12s.

I haven't tried the 45A but from what I've read they use the same housing. The pin is a different size but still fits the housing.

Call Galloway directly. They are very helpful with their service. I absolutely wouldn't recommend playing with a firearm design, or performing ad hoc mods based on a guess (from internet "opinions & claims".) If you can't find an after-market mod for your pistol from a reputable provider, it means there isn't enough market demand, or it isn't needed. good luck!

The 4 die is identical to the 3 die set, but includes an additional die. 4th die is the factory crimp die. I'm not familiar with any problem Using these dies to load ammo for use in a glock. This set and the 3 die set both size to specification. I've never had any trouble in a glock with my reloads.

I use .20 in my airsoft guns. The .12 are ok in low power guns that shoot in the 250 fps range and under. The higher the fps the more choices you have in size. My airsoft gun shoots in the 400 fps range and .20 is perfect.

High quality .20s, I used king arms. I also used goldenball .25 and .28. The .12s will damage the gun, dont use them.

12 GA, yes-ish. You need to center the device with your fingers feeling for the middle. But then you are usually shooting pretty close so that will get you on paper. 22 cal is fine as long as you have a solid metal crown for the magnet to attach. For example, I have issues on my 22/45 lite with the non-metallic thread protector. Just not enough metal to keep the light attached and thus it will fall off. Remember, the light is not a full time laser pointer that perfectly zeros your weapon; it is just to get you close on paper. If you read their fine print it says 5" at 50 yards (i.e. 10" diameter). 12 GA, yes-ish. You need to center the device with your fingers feeling for the middle.

I would opt for 300 first. Since all guns are different, some guns shoot some pellets better than others. After 300 rounds you will know how your gun shoots them.

I would take the striped hardware comment with a grain of salt. I believe the mount is aluminum and like guns that have an aluminum receiver you need to use locktite and not over tighten. My buddy and I both have the same mount -one on a pre 64 the other a post 64. Neither of us had any trouble mounting this unit and neither has had any issues or needed adjustments since sight in (using the same load/bullet). I had to use locktite to make the mounts on my mini 14 stay on too and they're steel (good steel), so it doesn't matter which material you're going to have to use locktite anyways. I know sometimes you get a bad unit but I haven't seen one yet. People's mechanical skills vary keep that in mind. I would take the striped hardware comment with a grain of salt.
