    My Glock g19, done...in progress?

    So I think I finished spending money on my Glock; I think I am done, unless you can convince me otherwise. I just spent at least an hour and a half cursing at the trigger pin, so please just tell me it's done, or something simple like a built ZEV upper...just anything to stay away from that $#%^% #&(*&#*&$(*&# !&!@&#@* u7#)(*&)*#) pin.

    Here it is, nothing crazy:

    Ameriglo night sights with two dot yellow tritium in the rear and green up front. I bought these sights when I purchased the gun.

    Agency Arms Drop in flat faced trigger. Bought this a while ago, and boy was my procrastination side right on the money. It was ridiculously easy...except the trigger pin....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Zev match grade barrel. I bought this a few days ago on ebay for 175 bucks, which is absurd for what it is, but also a great deal for what it is. it is truly a beautifully made piece of metal. I imagine it makes the gun slightly more accurate, and you can shoot steel through it, so it should pay itself off sometime in 2038. This was my self-reward for completing the trigger installation, nevermind that it costs twice as the trigger, la dee da

    What else should I do to it, without screwing with the reliability (the reason I bought it, my 1911 is for this kind of stuff haha, yet here we are)? The trigger was borderline a little too much for me honestly. Should I call it a done deal? The only thing I really wish it had were serrations along the front of the slide; not worth 400 bucks which seems to be the going rate though. Anyway here she is:

    It won't shoot right unless you stipple the heck out of the grip and remove those finger grooves.

        I was done spending money on my G19 when I bought it stock. Well, OK, I did buy a few extra mags and will probably pick up a holster for it at some point.

          From your post, it doesn't sound like you are done with it. You are still looking for mods.

          For my Glocks, I was done after changing over to sights that I prefer (I did try a light on my G22 for a bit). The only one I have left is my G27. I shot and carried it that way until I moved out here to CA.

            I've got a tlr-2, and last night between making this post and conking out, I bought a ton of batteries for it. I use that thing by itself almost every day.

            The grip is crap, but I am used to it. I really like the feel of something like the polymer 80 gen 2 lowers, but not quite enough to justify the money and time to replace it.

            Was thinking of getting a stripped upper, that is fitted for some kind of optics set up, then building that out without regard for it as an edc gun. Idk

              You need to

              Go shoot it! Then, repeat


              Did you shoot it before mods? ...if so, range report the difference.

                Best mod I found was putting 10 of these things below in that magazine thing:

                  Add a RMR to it and then call it done.

                      Maybe buy a Surefire weapon light?

                        Go out and shoot a HK VP9 or Walther PPQ and then you might be done with your G19.

                          Change the upper to a ZEV complete RMR slide with ZEV internals and then change out the frame with an 80% P80 and you will be done!

                          I give you a few bucks for the junk parts you took off.

                            Extended mag release? For me the stock one is kind of iffy.

                            I always wondered what there is so much after market support for something that is supposed to be "Perfection". Now after putting close to 1000 rounds through mine in the last couple of weeks. I can say with some certainty that it may be perfect for someone, I just don't know who that person is, but I can say that he doesn't have any eye issues, or large hands.

                              Oh yea, used and abused honestly. I am surprised I haven't had to actually replace anything (knock on wood). I should have replaced the slide lock spring while I had it apart...oh well. A buddy and I put probably 1500 rounds or more through the gun without cleaning it over the period of a few weeks (it was an experiment, I would normally never do this), just to see if it would jam, and it didn't jam or even stutter. The plan was shoot it till it jams, gun won, I cleaned it for safety's sake. There was what I assumed to be packed shaved brass, like saw dust almost, wedged in the back of the slide.

                              NorCalGlock9, that is actually what I keep in it (+ps). Not my choice range ammo though$$.
