I noticed that in their 2012 catalog. Might have to see if they do have them in stock.

Ceyko, no love for the 9mm shot shells?

My main concern is around cycling in the G19, I'd LOVE to do that though. I just don't want to replace springs and all that to hope it works. I just get mixed opinions when reading about modifying a G19 for that.

It would be the perfect solution though.

It's worth a shot for $6

I really, really doubt it would cycle. I can almost guarantee you it wouldn't. I've never seen a shot shell cycle a semi auto of any kind.

Oddly enough I've seen a 1911 and a kimber solo cycle shot shells

I've honestly never seen a .45 ACP shot shell let alone fired one. BUT, it does make sense seeing as how low pressure .45 is.

The solo is a 9mm, the other gun is a 45

Very nice! might have to pick up a few.

If they have any that is! Keltec is weird about stocking their suppliers. Ihave heard that they just don't make a lot of guns per year.

Basically your opinion is right in line with gun folks I know in real life. One of them specifically used to be a Glock fanatic and he's the one who suggested the spring. However, his comment was something like "It may work sometimes."

Curious, is shot shell something that could be loaded at home, with extra powder to make it cycle? It's a curiosity thing, I don't even have anything to load the basic stuff I want to - yet.

I don't think so, the issue is pressure. The weight of the projectile determines the amount of time it takes to clear the barrel, and time for powder to burn. A shot cartridge is lightweight and leaves so quickly it doesn't build a lot of pressure.

Do I have to video myself shooting a magazine of shot shells to price that it works?

[ceyko]

I don't know for sure who you're asking - but I just don't think it'll work in anything I have that is SA.

I'm telling you with almost certainty that your glock will run shot shells with no problems. If you just want to but another gun then just say that, but if your wife is comfortable shooting her glock, then those shot shells are an easy solution without a change in the manual of arms.

Well for S&Gs a buddy has a G19C and I have a G19. We're going to try them both with a magazine of them. (In April)

I'm not necessarily saying I don't believe you, but you're the first to say anything remotely positive about it working. If my buddy did not buy them (9mm shotshell), I'd not really try it - but he wants to try it anyway.

You're confident and unmodified G19 will fire these things? Everything indicates non-stop stove piping to me. However, technically I've never tried. Just been good/close friends, known goods on DFWM, youtube...etc...etc. lol

If I were a betting man, I'd have to give you 3:1 odds.
