Glock 17 upgrades?

[nbirnbaum2]

Save your money.

here is what I recommend

glock 3.5# minus connector $25 bucks
polish internals $0.25

total $25.25

now get some night sights. I like trijicon HD's but everyone has different opinions so thats up to you.

That really all that needs to be done on a Glock. You Also may stipple if you wish but skateboard tape works too.

Can anyone comment on the differences between the Glockstore Double Diamond 3.5 lb and the Glock Minus connectors?

Specifically the trigger break and reset. Not concerned about exact difference in trigger pull weight.

This is my perfect G17, and probably my perfect combat handgun.

G17 Gen4 with medium beavertail (or a Gen 3 with a Beavertail and Traction grips)
Ameriglo Hackathorn Sights
Grip plug beveled to magwell
Extended slide stop
.25 cent trigger job
Streamlight TLR-1

I have one set up like this, and another G34 set up the same but with the minus connector. Together they have at least 10k trouble free, very enjoyable competition stressed rounds. I cant honestly remember a malfunction. On the other hand, the more modified a Glock is, the more I see them choke. Even my unlimited Glock has a stock barrel, trigger, striker and slide. I would not mess with the guts.

Upgrade the shooter first: take some advanced courses or join some competitions. After that what upgrades are needed for the gun should be obvious

Mt 17 is set up mostly the same way except for the sights and grip plug.

My Gen4 17 has the medium beavertail, minus connector, TLR-1 HL, and stock front/G34 rear. Still need to decide what steel sights to swap in. I like Ameriglos. I need to order a set and have the sight pushed. My 41 has a similar setup with the TTI Grand Master Connector and a Surefire X300U - also still needs sight upgrade.

One looks fancy with NiB, one has "less liability" to use since its an oem part. Same price, same angles. both 3.5 # connectors

I can't tell you which company to go with in terms of custom triggers, but I can tell you which company to stay away from: OC CUSTOM TRIGGERS. After such a horrible experience I wouldn't put a custom trigger in my Glock, heck I wouldn't even do a 25 cent trigger job.

What happened with your OC Custom trigger?

[nikki#2]

I mainly use the g17 as home defense and trunk gun for the time being. Any input is appreciated.

Going to leave it stock for now guys. Signed up for a class in July and will go from there

Cool... Also good fun is action pistol competition, e.g. USPSA, check with your local range. Logical place to start w/ your G17 is Production Division,
and only certain mods are allowed: https://www.uspsa.org/uspsa-nroi-hottopics.php

Ended up finally going for the Agency drop in trigger after waiting nearly 2 months for its backorder. In the mean time I dropped in the Vickers mag release and slide lock along with the ghost Inc Avenger connector being the best upgrade of anything on my 30sf.

Did a quick cell phone vid for ghost Inc

To be honest I would've mastered the standard Glock trigger and then gotten the ROBAR trigger which is NIB coated and safe.

Many aftermarket triggers, while it may not seem like it, bypass the safety. Not sure if Agency does but the Haley Skimmer and the likes do.

[Strykeback]

Negative. There was a batch of skimmers but the original release and the ones on the market now keep all safeties as this agency arms does too. Hence why I kept playing with the engagement to the wall as you see it engage the firing pin block.

The biggest issue I had with this glock trigger was the actual pad was extremely painful to use. With the new serrated trigger the only thing your finger pad is touching thru the entire use is that annoying safety Dingus and it actually cut my finger up thru the first 100 rounds i put thru this g30. My friends 17c and 22 both had a normal trigger pad without the serrations.

I'm going to get the guys at the shop to put a trigger pull gauge on it since even though I didn't change any springs its definitely lighter, or that could be the geometry of the flat faced trigger.

[patriot_man]

Ahh got it, I missed that part.

Happy shooting.

[patriot_man]

Mastering a trigger takes a lifetime for most of us who don't have the last names of Vogel, Stoeger or Leatham. And the Glock shooter among those names uses an aftermarket trigger.

Someone on M4C bought all the flat faced triggers and I think only the Apex one passed the drop test.

The ROBAR one is relatively new. Did you see it tested in the thread?

Also semi related since Leatham was brought up lol
