Glock mods

[NotRPB]

Since the 1980s ... (Other than the recommended upgrades to the 1980s Glock models done by Glock Armorers)

I've tried and/or used

"PT Night Sights" (Colored glowing night sights so I could tell caliber in the dark)
Other brands of night sights
"Haartz" Steel Recoil rods filled with mercury and ball bearings to reduce Recoil (
Guide Rod Laser
Grip Laser

NOW having tested all those ... I don't use them any more but
Every Glock I own (And Springer XD45 and some Taurus and others) have, and always will have on new ones I get:

Advantage Tactical Sights http://www.advantagetactical.com/home/
Pearce Grip mag extension which adds capacity http://www.pearcegrip.com/
and as applicable Xgrip Magazine spacers http://x-grips.com/product/

Truglo TFX sights, plus Talon +1 mag extensions on the 42 and 43.

IME Night Sights, Ammunition, and Training are the best "Mods" for a Glock. Most aftermarket items for the Glock are designed to do nothing but separate shooters from their money.

I have tried just about every spring and connector combination out there and I come back to the stock connector and spring every time. I think it is the best combination of reliability, crisp feel with out mushiness, and poundage.

Just my .02,

Not really a tune up, but I did add one of these to each of my G17 magazines: https://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.asp ... 5&CAT=4977

Lone Wolf Distributors +2 magazine extension will add 2 rounds to all the standard (hi-capacity) 9mm, 40 S&W, 357 Sig. magazines.

That gives me 38+1 rounds if I carry just one backup magazine, and 57+1 with two backup magazines.

Gee, I don't know why capacity has become so important lately.......

I have the Hogue grips on all of mine. (Sweaty hands). And I also like the extended slide release. (Saves wear and tear on the thumb)

[Jago668]

XS Big Dot sights, and I undercut the trigger guard a little.

[KC80]

G43: Ameriglo CAP sights, Pierce grip plug, sanded down mag follower and added Pierce +1 ext for 7+1 capacity.

Started looking online into the Glock minus connector and finding no stock. Can I assume it's a Christmas thing or are they normally hard to find?

usually very easy to get

[quote="Abraham"]GlassG19,

I like them.

While I prefer the 3.5 connector, I sometimes shoot my wife's G19 with it's standard trigger and find it only slightly different.

By that I mean, I thought there would be a world of difference in trigger feel and find it not to be so much...and I have a good feel for triggers. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't bother.[/quote


Cool, thanks for responding. I'm thinking that too w/ the connector. How do you really like your Truglo Night Sights? How long you had them & how's the low light situations; (indoor ranges, home defense)? Those 2 are my primary uses for night sights.

[C-dub]

Put lots of rounds through it... nothing else needed. Didn't you see on the box "Glock Perfection"?

This and the same sights TAM did.

Other than the .25 trigger job the only mod I've done on a Glock is a ghost ranger 3.5 connector on my 17. It takes out the bump feel on the trigger pull and makes it nice and crisp but I find it almost too short for anything but range use

Stock Glock for me. If I were to mod a glock it might be for XS Big Dot Sights because the self appointed internet tactical guru's said I need them but standard glock sights are fine for me. It's what go me from a 1911 to tactical Tupperware. I really don't care for 3-dot sights.
