How do you like your Glock?

My favorite Glock setup goes like this:

Glock 17 9mm (2nd generation style frame)
Meprolite night sights
Extended slide release
Extended mag release
Plug
Everything else stock and nothing more...

I never knew how much nicer a Glock feels without the finger grooves, and I don't need no stinkin' light rail neither! :rolleyes:

Now if I can only find a Glock 19 set up the same way... :D

My first couple looked like Arotek trucks had overturned on top of them; every Glock gizmo in the world, from extended mag baseplates to Hart's recoil-reducer guide rods.

My current ones are pretty much stock; Agrip on the G30 and Agrip and an extended slide stop on the G29. (Hey, it was lying around and I was bored... ;) )

I've had my 36 for several months now. I'm still on the fence if I wanna keep it.

I like mine with Heinie SlantPro sights. I hate the stock sights.

No night sights though. Unless you're a cop, I think night sights are a total waste of money. If you can't even see your sights how can you see what you're shooting at? I just can't think of a self-defense situation where you'd be in complete darkness while the target was lit.

10-ring- give me the skinny. I am contemplating purchasing a G36- either that or the Taurus Millenium Pro PT-145 (or possibly the Firestorm Mini-.45) for a CCW. Why are you not head over heels in love with it like other Glockenlovermeisters?

Glock 21 stock except for Meprolight NS and Remington Golden Saber 230 grain.

Ready for any kind of trouble that might creep into my window or doors.:fire:

I'm currently on the fence between a G34 vs an XD9 Tactical (no date on production yet). I'm leaning more towards the G34, but is it worth $200 more than the XD?

My Glocks are pretty much stock looking and that's the way I like'm..

Well, they do have Trijicons and grip plugs on them but, I wouldn't really consider those "custom" parts..;)

Glock 23
Trijicon front sight only
Ghost Rocket connector/trigger reset
Plug

Tried an extended slide stop, didn't care one way or the other so I ditched it.

Absolutely love my G19. Second Gen,(Jan 91) Hogue slip on grip, Mepro night sights.

Just loves to ride in a Comp-Tac Undercover Kydex IWB holster.

My 2nd Gen G22 is liked very well by me! :)

Only addition is the plug.

It's a range baby mostly, so no need for night sites and all that extra stuff.

I put Trijicons on my 3rd Generation Glock 17 - what a great pistol. It is my girlfriend's favorite, as it is so light compared to my 1911 and my CZ.

Hmmm... that gives me an idea for an anniversary gift.... Glock 26 for the babe, perhaps?

Meps, the plug, polished internals, aind smooth faced triggers on the non full size models.

I like the stock sights, but I prefer night sights on my carry guns, and I carry my Glocks, so.... I have meps on 2 of my 3 Glocks.

My Glock 19 gen 2 is utterly box-stock but for some minor smoothing of trigger articulation.

This is how I like it. Or, rather, DON'T like it. Personal sidearms are a very individual thing for me. I disdain the practice of ascribing a personality to inanimate objects (That ASSAULT RIFLE is just plain EEEE-VULL--It can cause you to shoot up a play ground or somethin',.) even to the point of refusing to name my guns. (Oh, well, maybe one or two.;) )

But, with all that said, I do LIKE many guns. I cannot develop any affection whatever for a Glock. As well to say, "Hey, I really LOVE my lug wrench. Tactical black, very functional, fits my hand, utterly reliable . . . . " The Glock works just as well, and with just as much warmth, as my lug wrench. Maybe if I put rubber slip-grips and a custom finish on the lug wrench . . . .

Sorry, I just LIKE my High Power and .45s better than that Glock. I'll keep a .45 or Browning WITH me, and leave the Glock in its lock box in the trunk. Like the lug wrench, I hope I'll never HAVE to use it. But at least I practice with the Glock.

Best,
Johnny

All my Glocks are Stock, with Agrip, except for the latest acquisition, a 1st Generation G-17 (BE 0xx serial #) which has a Hogue Slip on that came with it. So it has finger grooves, of sorts!

I need to peel that thing off someday, and see how it feels then!!

The Rest of em? 19, 23, 26, 27, 33, & 36. All with Agrip, as I said earler...

Brooklyn, eh?? Kind of makes you want to go, "Hmmmmmmmm!"

Stock 19 with a NY1 trigger and Gen. 1 mags.

When worn, I replaced the Glock plastic sights with: new Glock plastic sights. That was a very inexpensive upgrade.


Night sights work. Your night vision drops to 20/200 compared to 20/20 in the daylight. While you may be easily able to see your attacker's body, the fine detail of the sights will alude you. Tritium puts them back in range of your visual acuity.

I like the 3rd generation G17 and G19. The tactical rail doesn't matter to me much, but I really like the finger grooves and the thumb rest. Fits my small hands very well.

Lemme see... for duty use, I like my 1st gen G21 as is, like I bought it, Factory refurb with three 10 rounders. Someone else did all the breaking in for me.

For cheap steel shooting, I like my G34 as is. It still needs to get broken in, though.

For pure range fun, I wouldn't mind putting a KKM barrel with a comp on My G21 and firing some 45 Super out of it! I'm thinking of getting a G2 (10mm) this weekend just for a little boom!

It's funny... I never thought I'd end up liking Glocks...

Love my stock G26, and it was the most accurate out-of-the-box shooter I've ever purchased until I bought my Kimber CDP. It's carried almost as much as the Kimber.

My 17 is stock, except for adjustable sights and a polish job on the internals, but my 22 has got an extended slide and magazine release, along with a brass Seattle Slug mag guide to add a bit of weight. I've been thinking about adding a tungsten guide-rod to the 22 (my IPSC Standard Division pistol), but haven't gotten around to it yet.

"45s better than that Glock."

Hmmm, so, is ".45" now a pistol brand/type designation? Ever heard of a .45 Glock? I have. As a matter of fact, I own three of 'em.

Tamara

Ever heard of a .45 Glock?

I reckon Mr. Guest is probably pretty conversant with the pistols in question, but the fact remains that the colloquial term ".45" can refer to either a cartridge, or to one of two handguns: the Colt Model P or the 1911. There are indeed other handguns, and even rifles, with this bore diameter, but when someone says "I'm gonna bring my .45 shooting today", odds are pretty durn good that he ain't referring to a SIG P-220, M3 Greasegun or S&W 625. ;)

I used to dislike Glocks. ":eek: Plastic!", I thought.

Now my only handgun is a Glock 17L (http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?s=&postid=84812), which turned out to be just perfect for me. She (pistols are female in German) does everything I ask for, apart from hitting only tens. ;)
She came with the lighter connector, an extended magazine catch and adjustable plastic sights.
I added an extended slide stop lever, a lighter firing pin spring and either a plug or a Bubits stock.
Next on the list are an Agrip and adjustable Meprolights.

Love my 2nd Gen G-22 w/ Mepro NS, Buffer Tech. recoil buffer, and sandpapaper texture grip decals. It works along side me everyday in an Uncle Mike's Sidekick Pro3.
I am considering a titanium striker and trigger connector and perhaps a Lazermax L-1000. ;)

100% stock. Although I am thinking about adding a lasermax, but the $325 price tag will probably prevent that.

And, although I have a couple of mags with the pearce grip extensions... I am just so use to shooting it without them, that I actually use it more with the regular mags.

Well it all started with the Glock 17 factory refurb with 2/Hi-Cap mags. The next thing I new I had to get the Glock 19. Then the Glock 30 came out. Well I got that one liked it and thought I would try the Glock 29 since all my holsters would work. Well then I thought I would try a little IPSC shooting, and purchased a Glock 21 and had it fully decked out with compensated barrel, titanium firing pin, trigger reset, etc. Then came the great deal on the Glock 20 with 5 hi-cap magazines for $300.00. couldn't pass on that. Then I thought I would give the 40sw a try and got the Glock 23C, nice gun but I am not a big fan of the 40. So I tried the Glock 33 in 357sig. Very Nice. Then came another great deal I picked up a second Glock 30 with Crimson Trace Laser. Don't really like using the laser to sight with, don't wanna build up bad habits, but if Joe Badguy sees the blinking dot on his chest maybe he will stop before I stop him. At this point I realized that I couldn't wait for a Glock 26 to come in and had to pay full Wholesale and picked one up (Hey I am a pawnbroker I don't pay full price for anything:D ) My latest addition is a Glock 19 3rd gen so that I can use my M3 light. Yes all of them are still in my collection, and I love everyone of them.

G19 - Meps, extended slide stop, extended mag release, replaced the target trigger with a standard trigger.

Wondering vaguely if I should have gone for the adjustable Meps.

My standard setup is pretty basic:

Meprolight night sights
"Maybe" NY1 trigger (only actually did this on one)

Everything else suits me just fine. I like to get a couple of standard capacity mags, if they are available for that model. I outfitted both my 19 and 22 with Arotek extended slide stops (later restored the 19 to stock for use in IDPA). I'll put plugs in most (not necessary, but gives the gun a more finished look).

17 2nd Generation
17 3rd Generation
19 2nd Generation

All bone stock except for night sights, and all of them are trouble free, hassle free guns.

What more do you need?

Just my .02,

Glock30 .45acp in a Galco SS2, with two spare mags.

Gun would be loaded down with Federal 230grn Hydra shoks no doubt.

Thats my Glock setup.......It's a damn good one too.......I would'nt feel out gunned walking into Fag-dad with this on.

The thing about Glocks is, people either love them or they hate them, there is no middle ground.

I thought mine was O.K. but I wasn't thrilled with it.:D

I resisted them like the plague for a long time. Then, on a lark, I found a barely-used Glock 26 for $399. I bought it and I've loved it ever since. It is my favorite autoloading handgun--simple, plenty accurate, consistent trigger pull, natural point of aim (for me).

If I had bought a Glock first, I could have saved myself a lot of money on other handguns.

Unlike some others, I like the factory sights. They are quick to pick up, and combat accurate.

I may buy a Glock 19 in the future IF the asinine 10-round limit on magazines dies a deserved death.
