I just purchased a Gen3 17 and after test firing to make sure it worked, and it did, I set out to do what I had planned.
This is the project so far:
Ok, this is with a 5.37" Lone Wolf extended 2 port barrel, a Lone Wolf stainless steel guide rod assembly, a Grip Force beavertail, a TMG palm swell grip, and a ghost rocket trigger upgrade. All that is left to upgrade are my sights.
Just got to the range yesterday and put 650 rounds down the new ported tube:
I REALLY REALLY LIKE THE GLOCK NOW!!!!
With the new grip and the beavertail I feel no slide bite and the grip shape/angle is greatly improved. The extra weight of the steel guide rod and extended barrel combined with ports has produced a gun that has either none or virtually no muzzle flip. Finally, the trigger is awesome with the ghost do-flicky installed. As a 1911 shooter, I still don't like the feel of the trigger safety but I will adjust. The shooting was done at 14 yards at a 4" Shoot-N-C with 147 Grain Hornady XTP Fiocchi Extrema. The second video is the muzzle flip before and after (it is hard to see a difference but believe me you can feel the difference). Finally, there is a screen shot of the porting in action.

. I had a Beretta 96D .40 that could nick & scuff just loading rounds into it.
