Glock upgrade info wanted, Please!! trigger and stipple info mostly

[smarty mcfly]

I am also interested in getting a grip reduction and stipple job on a glock too. I found a company out of Las Vegas that has a youtube videos and a facebook page that looks promising but I am having trouble finding a website. The companies name is MK3 firearms. If I find anything out I will keep you posted. Good luck

They are doing some interesting things with Laser Engraving now too. Check out San Antonio Laser Engraving on Facebook.

I think the turn-around is about 5 days to ship back and starts at $120 range. Thinking about trying this on a gen3 26 and 19.

I've felt the rtf2 and it's really nice. I should just buy a gen 3 and save the money from the rtf2 or gen 4.

The G17 RTF2's are coming out next month... but do have the fishgill slides. Pricing is at $500 IIRC. Not more expensive like the Vicker's models.

Thanks guys keep me posted on the laser stillping. It looks clean not hot glue gun... I may just buy the G17 from Glockstore or Gunfighter and get the $50 grip reduction then outsource the stippling .... I could even use a talongrip in between. It's better than having a cheese grater for a grip I guess.

I want to see how the Alligator stippling looks on a gen3 Glock. They have some nice designs.

Ppq, vp9 are great guns but I'm looking for a full sized gun to run classes with. Otherwise I would just use my P10c.... Am I wrong in thinking that a 4" compact gun is too small for a pistol class? I was under the impression that I should be using a full sized 4.5"-5" frame.

I think a 4" is fine for a class. Personally I think you should train with what you'd use the most, and the compact frames seem best all around to me. People have taken classes with micro/sub compacts so I wouldn't worry about a duty compact size - you'll still get a full purchase on the weapon.
If you wanted to go larger, Walther makes a 5" PPQ and the Q5 Match as well.
If you wanted to save some $ I don't think there'd be any problem running a P10c in a class; it's also a compact duty pistol.

All of the custom Agency or SAI looks pretty crappy to me. This one the other hand looks pretty nice can anyone identify the grip work and slide work?

I have a G22 with Talon Granulates, two RTF2's, and two stock Gen4's. Texture on all those is fine. I want a little more on the regular gen3's, but lasered sides would probably do the job for me. Most likely I'll do that. I don't mind the grips or the grooves.

The G17 RTF2's are coming out next month... but do have the fishgill slides. Pricing is at $500 IIRC. Not more expensive like the Vicker's models.

I had a guy offer to sell me a Vickers in fde for $800 yesterday, I like the $500 price tag much better and I actually like the fish gills. Once again my concern is the shaving of the grip to fit my hand would negate any benefit of rtf2.

It would be like buying a brand new Porsche and paying extra for the rim package just to replace the rims as soon as I buy it.

[etwinam]

The more and more I price out how much it will be to make a G17 fit my hand and have a trigger close to the P10c I'm going to be over $1k, more like $1200.

G17 $575+ trigger $150+ grip shave and stipple $200+ sights $125+ enhanced slide release $25+ 3.5# connector $25.... and that's me being conservative... So ya.

In retrospect I'll just wait for the P10F to come out if it ever does and just save my $1200 and perhaps land a P320 or M&P 2.0, PPQ 5"

Anyone selling either please PM me....

Champagne taste- Beer Budget.

Based on all these responses, you want a smaller shaved and reshaped grip, you want it to look factory with custom stippling, but you also want it as cheap as possible. Taran Tactical is one of the most popular custom Glock makers in the world right now thanks to all the publicity from Keanu- never mind spending $300+ for the work, the wait time is 6-12 months.

If you want to stay local and save on shipping, I would still say Gunfighter Tactical. Some of their custom glocks have been pretty ****ing far out there. Their instagram still has some examples, like that set of Iron Man & War machine glocks


Edit* nevermind, was writing this post when you came to the same conclusion

Ya I guess I'd didn't realize that stippling that looks good was so expensive, excuse my naivete. It's my first gun I've contemplated stippling. I've always avoided it in the past and went with a talon grip.

Sorry for my first experience being an eye opener. In this scenario I don't see it working out as Glock just doesn't fit my hand. That's the part I'm trying to mitigate is the block grip.

Like I stated above I am trying to find a substitute for a full sized P10c. Not trying to have John wicks gun. I understand that custom work costs money but there is a lot of stuff in between John wick and a garage cowboy with a soldering iron. I guess this is why we have the wonderful calguns. I can ask questions and save money instead of being in mid conversion right now wondering how to recoup my $1k haha.

Thanks again for all the input. I'm sure one day I'll come across a Glock that speaks to me, until then I'll just keep looking at market options. With all the new entries this year p10, fn 509, sig p320.. I'm sure something will meet my needs.

Thanks again all.

The very best grip shaping work I have even seen is by ZEV in Ventura. They can do as much or as little as you want. While you can get a full boat high end job from them, trigger, sights and grip work, unless you are building a target gun, don't spend the money. Have them do the grip work and then do the internals yourself.

Before spending like $1400-$2000 on customizing your Glock for performance I'd do this simple calculation.

Does it cost more than just buying a CZ P-10c, VP9 or Sig P320X? If it does then just pay for the overpriced thing you REALLY want from the MP.
