Are upgraded glocks worth the money?

[digelectric]

There's no need to change anything on the stock Glock.

[Che762x39]

I am curious about these "super glock" that have the super nice stippling job, upgraded trigger and other small parts, flared magwell, zev slide and barrel, with an rmr on top ...

No, not worth it. I really do not like "stippling" at all.

[Elbow_Iso31]

I have never shot one or seen one in person. But they sure are lookers.

No, not worth it. I really do not like "stippling" at all.

HAHA, i am not sure when fcuking up something became a style.


i have seen guys punching holes in their cars and calling it aerodynamic.

i guess, to each thier own

[KrisDSA]

Not to me. Every guy I know that owns a Glocks from a big dollar company can't shoot for ****/never had any training/or even owns any type of first aid.

25 cent polish job + gen3 trigger bar + glock "-" connector

[Steve1968LS2]

So they don't dramatically change the experience of the firearm?

If I hate the feel of an oem glock 19 I'm Gonna hate an upgraded one also?

Find a Gen 2 or a Gen 4

I hate the Gen 3s.. awful feel..

[BarrettM99]

To each his own. I own a couple of pimped out Glocks. They feel and shoot great. My carry G19 only has a G34 trigger swapped in and some nice sights. I stippled it myself. It shoots just as nice as my high dollar Glocks.

If you think you're going to get a 1911 like performance, you're mistaken. They are better than bone stock but it's not like the sea will suddenly part and John Moses Browning himself will appear and bless the thing. It's just another Glock.

I don't like the '-' connector, but I do mill out and install an RMR for my old eyes.

we are opposite, I like "-" connector, and I have glock 19 mos, but i am trying to sell it with RMR together because my astigmatism won't allow me to see the dot clearly without Rx glass.

I have to wear 'reading' glasses and as such I can't get the front sight in sharp focus without them. I can see from about 4' out perfectly, so the whole focuses at infinity nature of a red dot works perfectly for me. I use the Dual Illum RMRs because batteries are not something I want to count on.

I personally would never spend that much on a glock. Maybe a few hundred not not a few thousand.

[SVTNate]

I have a Glock 17 that ran about $2,000 plus the cost of the Glock.

No RMR, either.

It's great. I really enjoy it. Is it quantitatively *better* than a stock $500 Glock? Don't know, don't care. It's a cool gun to own and shoot, and it's far from my most expensive pistol.

Mine is a true custom, as in we pencilled out the slide design, which was translated into CAD or whatever they use these days, and then milled. My slide work was not "pick one of our 3 designs and we'll ship it to you".

It's an urban camo pattern Cerakote, I picked the colors used and the pattern.

Mine has some little unique touches I haven't seen on other Glocks, which are from years of commissioning custom 1911's. My striker plate and mag release button have the same texture as the frame. If anyone else has done that with a Glock, I haven't seen it personally. I got the idea from a custom Colt Commander that I had built a decade ago, after discussing the build with Dave Williams from Springfield Custom.

If it was my only pistol, it would be pretty foolish... but when you are closing in on 50 pistols, and you don't like wheelguns (I don't own a single one anymore), you start looking for things to spend money on, LOL

I like my G17 so much that I'm going to do a tamer version (no aftermarket trigger or barrel, no windows in the slide) G19 for carry.

Which reminds me, my CZ Tac Sport is long overdue for some custom work.

I shoot it more accurately than a stock Glock, because of the sights and the frame work that makes the gun fit my hand more naturally. The rest is just fluff. I paid less for my Sig X5 L1 (back when they were plentiful and SSE was around), which is far more accurate and far nicer in terms of materials and craftsmanship. Again... don't care. Custom Glocks are fun.
