[penguinofsleep]

So, what mods does everyone have on their glocks and what are those particular glocks used for?

Update post 59.

Have a G20 gen4 coming soon and so far I know what sights I want to swap into the gun, but that's it.

That's all you need to do... and of course buy magazines/ammo.

Glockworx (Zev Technologies) in Oxnard. The Complete Fulcrum Trigger kit is amazing and the team at Glockworx is absolutely the best in the business.

Customization is kind of a personal thing.
Not everyone will like the same things.
What I like:
Tungsten guide rod
extended mag release, and slide lock
Glockworx fulcrum triggers
Grip plug
AGrip
Tru-glo TFO sights
3.5# connectors
25 cent trigger job

They don't really need much. A set of night sights, extra magazines, a kydex holster and kydex magazine pouch and you're done.

If you really get twitchy and want to add some more then a Vickers extended magazine release and a Vickers extended slide stop lever and an internal buffer from Wilson or strike industries.

For example I leave the triggers stock. Mine are not competition guns. They are self defense weapons. If I were building a competition gun then I would not hesitate to mess with the trigger. But for self-defense that is a real no go. The trigger in it is already ideal for self defense. Self defense firearms instructors will tell you the same. You want to be careful that what you add is combat proven and not some hokey mall ninja part that is gonna fail and get you killed. The Glock is an ultra reliable gun. When it comes to self defense guns, anything you add to it needs to be equally reliable. But for competition use, there are no hard and fast rules. Mod away.

I did the usual extended slide stop, grip plug and night sights with all of the Glocks I've owned over the years. I had a G30sf that I also added a Lone Wolf barrel to, which I was pretty pleased with.

I've had my Glock 19 Gen 3 for thirteen years. Mods include:

1. Scherer guide rod insert. Metal rod with flatblade screw end that inserts into hollow area of factory recoil spring guide rod to keep from flexing.
2. Trijicon night sights. I put them on in fall of 2000 and are still bright.
3. Buffer technologies recoil buffer. Never had any reliability issues with them.
4. Factory 3 1/2# connector. Not that much lighter than stock IMO, so still safe for carry.
5. Vickers Tactical extended mag release. Longer than stock but a little shorter than the factory extended version so it's just right. I really like it and they are reasonably priced.
6. Factory extended slide release.
7. Grip Plug
8. Grip Force Adapter. It attaches using a longer pin at the rear and they give you two to use and extra pins. It seems to make the pointing more natural for me since it straightens the backstrap a little. Kinda like having a Gen 4 grip. Haven't shot it yet with it on but I think it will do well for me. They run about 23 bucks on average and you get two different units in the package.

In the past 34 years I've owned several 9mm pistols and to date my G19 is the only one that has never jammed not even once in all this time using everything from 115 grain to 147 grain factory ammo and reloads, both ball and hollowpoint. It's been a fine gun.

I also have a g23 gen4 coming in and I hear the new trigger pull is pretty heavy. 5.5 lbs is it? What are experiences? How much is that glockworkz trigger kit?

[Virus55]

My Glock 19 and 27 are stock. My 22 has an extended mag release and slide stop and a Streamlight TLR-HL

[glockman19]

Night sights, #3.5 trigger, mag well plug.
That's all.

[stag6.8]

On my G19 gen 3 , I added a glock extended slide/stop, a grip force beavertail, a lone wolf grip plug, glock 17 mags with x-grip magazine adapters(much better grip), a glockstore stainless steel guide rod with factory weight spring, a surefire x300 ultra with remote switch. the next thing I`m adding is trijicon night sights which pretty well completes mine. With the exception of the slide stop/release and spring guide rod, all of my upgrades were external. I feel no need to do any other internal upgrades it runs GREAT.

[Darryl Licht]

Night sights were the first and best mod!

In addition to the sights; I am currently running a lighter trigger spring and polished mating surfaces, decal grip, and an extended slide release.

Glocks really don't need anything at all they are reliable right outta the box! Most of us just cannot resist the urge!

Next up is a rail mounted light!

[nikki#2]

Give the new included beavertail backstraps a try... I like them! (butt plug won't fit with them on)

Trijicon HD's, extended slide and mag release, and I prefer a Gen3 trigger bar + $ .25 trigger job on both my Gen4 G17 and G26.

[TheWoodCrafter]

I just picked up a 17 and had a few upgrades added.

Grip, magwell extention, Tritium sites and a 2LB Pyrmid trigger.

This thing is REALLY nice now.

I know you said mostly range gun but others may need this info as well. Just an FYI...If you don't want to be the next George Zimmerman, leave the Glock alone. Any weapon that is modified is a prosecutor's wet dream.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX

Prosecutor: Soo, Mr. Zimmerman, you modified your pistol?

Zimmerman: Why yes! I got a 3.5 pound trigger, a competition mag well, a grip reduction, night sights, a laser, and a tungsten guide rod!

Prosecutor: why did you modify the gun to make it easier to shoot? Are you a blood thirsty killer? You want to go out and kill people? You must want to kill people.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX

I think you get my point...be real careful with mods on a carry or SD weapon. Modifying that Glock 17 may get you 20 to life. But if its gonna be a range pinker or strictly a comp gun, then rock on.
