Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but it is specific to the 930; mods please move thread if needed.
This is my initial review of the GG&G Magazine follower:
This is what I received in the package direct from GG&G:
They included 3 vinyl stickers with the order, you gotta love a company with a sense of HUMOR
The follower is a 3 piece design, Stainless steel main body, with a red anodized aluminum insert; held together with a stainless compression ring. The insert is tight and looks to be secure with no worry of separation.
Side by side comparison to the current factory version that came on my 930 SPX
The GG&G follower's insert is the same diameter as the factory follower's nub. While the nub on the factory is taller and beveled more, which I thought will help with guiding the loading of shot shells; it wasn't the case. I swapped back and forth the followers and the GG&G was definitely more smoother in loading the initial shot shell. The GG&G stainless body is longer, but it's a cup design and a fully compressed magazine spring will still extend out of the body of the follower. With regard to capacity issues, none so far; same capacities as with the factory follower.
Installed in the SPX. Looks great to me, but the color of the red anodizing is useless; it's too dark in real world applications. It would be better if they use a more brighter color, other then Brass or Silver aluminum that would match a shot shell. By feel, this is where it works in low/no light conditions; you will definitely know you have an empty mag. No need to flip the 930 or open the breach to confirm a round in the mag, just slip your thumb up the loading port and you can feel the face of the GG&G on an empty mag. The factory follower is flat enough to feel like a shot shell.
So far, I like it (Pre-Sending any rounds down range).
It's very well made and seams to function smoother then the factory one; especially in loading the initial round in the magazine. It weighs more then the factory one and I will have to see if this an issue later. GG&G currently sells it for $25.00 which is on the higher end of the price of other followers, but there is more work involved to make this high quality one.
