Are you doing it for the sick ‘gram EDC dump pics?
If not, nothing wrong with a stock glock. |

I've always gone with the keep it simple approach and put the extra 'Gucci' money in to training with both my AR's and my Glocks.

I carry my Shadow Systems with an RMR. It has never had a failure and it shoots better than my 19. They will also replace a pistol for free that was taken after a justified self defense shooting. Not worried about the cash if it was really needed, but that is still cool.

The best way to make a Glock unreliable is to "upgrade" them.
Gucci Glocks are range toys. |

Well the only way I'd own a glock would be to replace 90% of it from the get go. So your idea is not totally crazy.

Just "roll your own". Glock's are like the ar15 of the handgun world. Get a frame and whatever slide you want and build it out with whatever parts you like. I did this with about 3-5 glocks already. Currently I am carryin a gen 2 frame with a pws slide, Agency barrel, internal spring and cup seal upgrades, along with some other random upgraded parts like mag well and extended slide and mag release.
Eta: My home brewed 17 gen2 and "Vickers" 34 gen3  Kind of want to send the 34 in for an rmr cut and maybe front serrations. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Regular Glock is best Glock. This. Maybe a 5 cent trigger job, but the gen 5 triggers are decent. With that said. After being a Glock fan boy for about 10 years. I got a CZ to compete with. I consistently get second place (apparently the first place bunghole is a USPSA grand master) with my SP-01. I get second or third with my CZ P-09. With my glock 19X, I usually will be in the top 5, but I am significantly less accurate. I can shoot it fast but I can't hit dick with the stock sights. It will get an RMR this summer to see if it will even be in the rotation anymore. Lesson: If you started with a Glock and don't really know anything else, you are missing out. I think my next handgun will be a P320. I honestly don't know if I will ever buy another Glock, and I used to ride the Glock D like a hooker in love. I would still take it to Mars if we ever invade, but all my 19's just sit there unless my wife carries them in her rotation. ETA: I am kind of sad that I made this post. I will go masturbate in my tears in the corner. |

For my carry guns (Always Glocks) I prefer the least mods possible. Less to go wrong and malfunction on an already great running gun.
The only thing I've changed out many of them are Night Sights - TruGlo TFO in Green, my old eyes seem to prefer them. Also, on some of them I did Lone Wolf threaded barrel for suppressor usage and better support of reloads. JMHO, YMMV... |

Everyone needs to own at least one Glock 19.
Not everyone should EDC a Glock 19. They seem to melt into the hands of many, and for them the tweaks and twerks make sense. OTOH some people can't shoot them for shit and never will, and bells and whistles will make pretty noises but bullets don't have ears. They are what they are. Paint its toenails, put lipstick on it, it'll never be Prom queen. Cheap date on a long hot night, maybe . . . (waits for some smartass to post a pic of bullets with ears) PS: If "OP is retarded" is an option, "OP is retarded" is the correct option.

I carry a Shadow Systems MR920 daily. Only real reason I prefer to carry it over my standard Glock 19 is the reduced weight.

I put "gucci" glocks or other firearms in the same category as "gucci" wrenches, hammers, and screwdrivers.
It's a tool, nothing wrong with enjoying aesthetics, but I suspect a lot of the "improvements" most guys throw their cash on would be better served on practice ammo and training. I would bet 90% of people can't outshoot their stock gun, those who can I completely understand why they might mod but they are the extreme minority. It's your cash but I am always reminded of the "performance" mods kids make on honda accords but then still can't drive for shit. |

Quoted: I dunno I’ve been eyeing the Shadow Systems MR920. All my Glocks are stock with night sights only, and one with red dot. Should I go full guccitard or stay stock? If I did Gucci “Glock” it would be the Zev OZ9 I just will be using my 19.5 MOS with RM06 and SLR magwell. |

That is not the point he is making. You sink a lot of money into a pistol on the premise you know if you use it a chance exist you are not getting it back vs using a duty Glock that is just as deadly and just as useful that cost 1/4 of the price. I am not going to carry a custom 1911 of mine or one of my fully tricked out CZ pistols because on the off chance I am involved in a shooting for my life it is not going to make me some super grand master John Wick killer but I could be out 2K+ if I am never able to get the pistol back or it gets lost in an evidence locker. |
