fortyofforty Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Do you prefer your carry GLOCK to be stock, or do you add personal touches? If so, what do you do? Does anyone use a replacement slide cover plate? Change sights? New trigger? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spats McGee Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I only own 1 Glock, but I think my answer would depend on what I used it for. For a SD pistol, make mine stock or close to it. My G19 is a carry pistol, so I got factory night sights and have made no other hardware changes. If I were building a gun for competition, I'd trick it out.

fortyofforty Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 The internet is full of products designed to improve upon perfection. It's Capitalism at its finest. Not sure if any of the products have real merit, but I'm glad people are always trying to make things better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyguy Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) I generally have kept my Glocks stock except for a recontoured FPS, but my Gen2 G19 doesn't even have that. The Glock Gen4 MOS on my hip right now has the aftermarket FPS and a Glock OEM "-" connector, but I just ordered a smooth G17 Gen4 trigger, a 7lb striker spring, and maritime spring cups for it. Don't ask me why...I couldn't tell you. Regards, Happyguy Edited March 18, 2018 by Happyguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I leave carry guns stock. Several of my Glocks have a Glock (-) connector. The only other modifications I've ever done to a Glock are to put a Glock adjustable rear sight on my Glock 20 and Glock 29, and when the trigger on my Glock 26 wore out, I replaced it with a flat trigger. I think once you get used to the Glock trigger, there is little need to modify it. That said, my gunsmith is one of the most competent shooters I know and he has aftermarket trigger parts in his carry gun (a Glock 21 with a holographic sight).

refugeepj Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) KKM barrels, i shoot lots of lead, and carry what i am used to. front night sights from Glock. just installed over sized slide locks on my G19, G29 and G20. got tired of the struggle with OEM and arthritic hands. huge improvement!

Jason D Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Most of my Glocks are stock, except for 2 G17's, and a G34. Those three have 3.5# connectors, and one of the 17's that is my travel gun, has night sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyofforty Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Do you guys leave carry guns stock out of concern for legal ramifications, or because you really prefer stock pistols? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buzzard Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I just change the sights, and yes the legal aspect is why I carry a stock gun it is also why I have carry insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmohme Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Bone stock for all of my carry guns. They all work well as designed, so I see no point in changing anything. Now my fun guns are a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Heinie Straight 8 night sights and a 25 cent trigger job. If it came with a serrated trigger I swap it out for a smooth factory unit. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I prefer not to change the serrated trigger, and to do the 5000 round trigger job though it costs a little more than a quarter, but I like your choice of sights.

fortyofforty Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 I swap out all my triggers for the smooth G17/G21 versions. I don't even consider these to be true modifications, but I suppose they are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exit Plan Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Absolutely stock, as it comes out of the box, heck I leave it in the box, in the store, unpurchased. I'll take CZ or HK , can't stand glocks. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) All my Glocks get the following: - Lone Wolf barrel. They reduce the so called Glock bulge in the brass which is important for reloading, much better accuracy and often a 50 FPS velocity advantage. - Truglo night sights. Very bright and they last at least 10 years. Those cheap Glock OEM plastic sights are a no go for me. - MagGuts springs. They add a round without extending the magazine in length. - A polish job an several parts to smooth out feeding as well as trigger pull.

MagGuts on my G42 only, been using it without issues for some 2 years now. I use Kriss extensions on my G40 and Pearce on my G29. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeIsuzu Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Stock with two tiny changes: 1. Over sized slide lock by Fixxxer- saves my old guitar playing fingers! 2. Pearce Grip plug. Now I have to store my Tootsi-Roll somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Galt Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Stock except for sights and Talon grips. Big Dots on my 43 & 26, Trijicons on my 42. Edited June 30, 2018 by John Galt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueiron Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Of all the Glocks I own, only the Glock 34 has been modded and that was with a set of fiber-optic sights. Everything else is all Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey45 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I only own one stock Glock, it's a 36. All my others, both competition and carry have some form of internal modification. The only thing external is the sights. I don't do cosmetic modifications. s45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_Gaines Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 My 19 is mostly stock, I put Ameriglo nite sites on it but that about it. There is another upgrade I want to do but I haven't bought the part yet. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
