Vendor Questions USSS Response Historically the last round bolt hold open functionality on PCC’s utilizing Glock Factory magazines are not reliable. The better immediate solution would be utilizing MPX magazines. Another option which is currently in development with our company, would be our Patented Synkro Ambi Control system modified for the PCC to accommodate this exact spec in particular. Please let me know if there is any way we can have additional time for testing and development in order to finish this design exclusively for USSS, Homeland Security and this bid.
