Glock owners...pistol modification

Gen3 17 & 19 both have Grip Force Adapters, a little polishing of the striker engagements, and either the Hogue or Pachmayr rubber grips. The Gen4 21 and the 19x have the large beavertail backstraps installed. The 21 has also had some polishing of the striker and a Pachmayr grip. The 19x has the Glock luminescent sights installed which work great.

First and only mod on every Glock I own... night sights

I had the slide milled for a red dot sight. Docter III on the Glock 19, Shield RMSc for the G43.

Load it and put it in the holster works for me too!

Added a striker control device. Didn’t need to. Just did.

Link? More info?

G-19, Gen 3, ....Nothing except a set of Trijicon night sights. Didn't wish to modify the pistol but my eyes could use a little help. Here's a low quality picture of them but it's the only pic I have on here where the sights can be seen.

Tru glow sights. I bought one after market barrel but went back to stock after I learned how to cast properly.

I prefer the polymer sights to steel for durability. I've bent and damaged steel sights dropping my guns, I've never damaged a polymer sight. Most people seem to feel the opposite is true and I guess I am only going on my own anecdotal experience but polymer handles concrete drops better than steel based on the two times I've done it so far.

S/W PPK steel sights seem to be made from the same stuff as Poppers (the firework)

All my glocks get Ameriglo CAP sights.
Ghost rocket connector on carry guns, Zev fulcrum adjustable trigger on my competition g35 gen 4 + glock extended mag release and Taran Tactical magwell.
My EDC G23 gen 3 has a my homemade super grippy texture job on it. Gen 4 are grippy enough as is.

I got a police turn-in G22. I was pleased with it as-is and had no thoughts of modifying it.

However, a couple of posters here informed me that I could turn it into a G17 just by purchasing a special barrel and a new mag. I jumped on that. The total cost was $130 or something like that. I went with Lone Wolf. It functions perfectly in both calibers.

Kinda of depends on what you want to do with it. USPSA/IDPA? GSSF? CCW? Home Defense?

I have a G17 just for use in GSSF matches as a "production" gun. So by the rules modifications are limited. Fiber Optic sights and of course just polishing up all the bearing surfaces.

This not criticism or me giving you a hard time. I'm just curious what activity is going on where you are dropping your guns on concreate.

Gun games or practicing fast defensive draws where a snag happens? Just wondering.

I own no Glocks but will likely pick up a G29 and G20 in the future. Both will get night sights at the minimum.

Glocks I carry regularly have night sights, G34 slide locks, and I polished the internals with Mothers Mag Polish and a Dremmel with the wool roller.

But the best trigger on any Glock I own is on my G23 that has well over 12K rounds through it...and I never did anything to it but shoot it and clean it...

I put a 3.5# connector in it, shot it and took it right back out. I sold that one, a G21. My next will be a gen 5 G19, and I will add night sights.

New sights, Ghost Trigger, pinky extension for the mags (Glock 43). That's it

I replace the sights with Ameriglo's (either the 'Glock Cap Set' or the 'Bold') and then I put the second largest beaver tail if it's a 4th or 5th Gen.

Ameriglo Glock Cap Set

On one of them I have stippling on it and I really like it and on another one (G26 3rd gen, my normal carry piece) I put on some grip tape on the right side for the palm of my hand, but I haven't done that on any of the others.

With the G26 I also have several mags with the +2 round pinky extensions and on others I use the X-Grip extension where I can use G17, G19, G23 and G22 mags.



X-Grip extension on right.

The Ameriglo CAP set is what I used as well, I really like it. Mine is the orange version with the thinner front sight.

Does a Rhinoplasty count?

I bought more magazines.

Stainless pins, extended slide release & slide lock.

Possibly night sights, else the 1000 rounds trigger job.

Never been much for modifying guns, I prefer to just shoot them a lot.

No offense, but what is causing you to drop your gun? I have been shooting for 55 years and my last ten as an RSO and I have never seen a gun hit the ground.
