Im looking at potentially building a glock for steel competitions and nightstand duties. (Hopefully never gets called into service for the latter)
They're friendly, unsanctioned matches, basically "run what ya brung" but would like to possibly do some actual matches with proper rules and classes.
So my question is, should I buy a new glock and modify it and have replacement stock parts or would it be a better idea to build off an 80% kit and just buy the parts I need? Which one would be more economical?
When I talked to my coworkers that are glock enthusiasts I told them it would be a simple build. Red dot, light, light trigger and threaded barrel for a muzzle brake. (Im a huge fan of those) they laughed at me and told me "thats damn near the whole gun, just build off an 80%"
So, in your opinion, should I build off an 80% or modify? I dont mind having extra parts for my parts bin, but im not super familiar with glock parts pricing.
I would like it to be a glock, all my friends and family have them and theyre all very happy with theirs, plus being able to share mags in a pinch is solid.
If I dont do a glock I might just build a nasty 1911 because Ive never felt a glock trigger I can stand. Who knows my ideas change daily....
So yeah, buy new and modify or 80% and build off that? Or just say to hell with a glock and run a 1911?
