NcStar Tactical Weaver Rail Adaptor For Glock 17 19 22 23 Pistols

I just got this rail today and mounted it on my Gen2 glock 23 in about a minute. Its dirt simple... For those that cant figure out how to install a pair of opposing screws you start one then start the other then go back and forth till they are both tight sort of like changing a tire on a car. No extra purchase of any extra long screw required. Not to mention that is is really on there too. Im a pretty big guy (6'4 280) and it doesnt want to move when I try to bend it or wiggle it. Now I can mount anything (except a vertical fore grip since that's illegal till you give the fascist government a copy of your fingerprints, a photo of yourself, fill out some paperwork AND pay them 200 bucks! Yaaay Fascism!) on my glock 23! Maybe I'll mount one of those fancy new pistol bayonets on it LOL! Thank you NCStar!edit: as a side note for those wondering the aluminum downward support (which is gusseted btw) is about 5/8" thick in front of your trigger guard. So if you want to add a flashlight to your glock after adding this you might wanna consider one with a remote pressure switch if you dont have a 10"+ hand span or using your off hand to turn the light on.(I do have to wonder why 0 of 2 people found this info useful... I explained exactly what gun I put it on and how to do it and even a later discovered drawback... I guess some people dont understand the meaning of the word HELPFUL.)

I don't quite know why but the rail adapter seems to fit just fine on a 2nd generation Glock 19 but the screws aren't long enough to get it to fit on a 2nd generation Glock 17. That being said when on the Glock 19 it does stick 3/4 to 1 inch past the end of the front of the firearm. It does the job of holding a weapon light but does look a little awkward.

I bought this rail adaptor for my Glock 27. This rail clamps on to the the front of the trigger guard. The clamps did not fit well inside the trigger guard, as the clamps would not seat all the way forward to the front of the trigger guard due to some small flanges hitting top and bottom of the trigger guard. In addition the foot of the main rail piece that abuts the front of the trigger guard was way to thick for the clamping bolts to reach the holes in the foot. The combination of these two out of tolerance items pretty much makes it impossible to attach. This item is sturdy and the bolts provided are long enough but you just can not get the bolts in the holes since they were way out of alignment. This is the only gizmo on the market that could work well for a light on a glock that does not have a rail and is a good concept. I decided to just grind off a good 1/8" of material off the bottom of the foot and then could just barely get it to clamp on. I may have gotten a bad one, but if you are not prepared to do some grinding I would wait until the manufacturer gets better quality control.

I Really was surprised on the quality off this rail. I ordered it without much thought and wished I hadn't until it got here and then after I saw just how nice it was I was glad I got it. It is all machined and coated aluminum and just fit perfectly. The way the clamps (machined and coated aluminum as well) are designed they locate on a v that forces the rail up nice and tight to to the bottom of gun. Nice design.Well made.

Just installed this rail adapter on my Glock 23 gen 2. So far I like the look and feel of this product. The rail does stick out about 1/2 inch from the receiver but for me this is fine as it doesn't look bad or hideous in my eyes. Of course, if the fit was totally perfect it would have been better but I found that as long I can finally get the attachments that I always wanted on my gen 2 glock such as tactical light & laser I'm a happy camper.It did take me about a good 5 to 10 mins to install this piece on to the trigger guard. Somehow the screws weren't engaging at first. Like some reviewers mentioned, I was worried that the screws might be short like others have said and I would have to buy some longer screws in order to install this adapter on my glock. However, after fumbling a bit, I decided to try switching the screws around and when I did that they both engaged. I'm guessing, one screw is longer then the other but when I looked at both screws they seemed identical in length..wierd..o'well. Also, I used 'blue loctite' so that the screws won't become loose when I start shooting.All in all this is a great product in my opinion. It's made of sturdy metal and it's attached securely on my gun so I'm not worried that my attachments will fly off when I'm shooting.Update 01/08/2016:Recently, I cleaned my gun after a shooting session at the range over the weekend and deinstalled the rail adapter. But, when I tried to attach the rail adapter back the bottom screw wasn't engaging anymore. I tried everything but no luck. Looked like the screws were to small like some others have stated. So, I decided to email NCStar support in regards to the screw issue for this product to see if they could help me. Tech support replied back the next day and said that if I provided them with my mailing address they would send me longer screws free of charge. Today I received a package from NCStar and sure enough they sent me 2 longer screws. Installed them and now it's perfect! So happy with NCStar's support response/action and product!! BTW the original screw sizes are 3mm x 20mm that came with my rail adapter. I was sent 3mm x 25mm screws which are the perfect size.

I finally got it working after buying 25 mm screws to fit my Glock 22 .40 cal. gen 2. I saw other users have had this problem as well. I had to buy a large pack of screws because they are a specialty item. It seems to me that the manufacturer could simply add 2 25 mm screws to the package. A few cents more for satisfied customers seems like a good expense. Not sure why they haven't done anything about this.
