Need to hear from some Glock experts.. I have a few tech/mod questions that I want to answer. Recently purchased a Glock 19 Gen 4 for the wife, she is a new handgun shooter and does fairly well with it, in fact she shoots it as well as she shot my 1911 (4” group at 25 yards) so I was able to get that back now that she has her own gun.
Purchased at the same time was a Glock 20 Gen 4 for me as I have wanted to get into the 10mm power range for quite some time, I got this for knocking around backcountry, bear country etc.. Not so much for self defense against 2 legged critters but as a potential hunting sidearm. I’ve been hunting with handguns since I was 18. I have shot just about every style of handgun out there from CZ and clones, BHP, 1911, S&W revolvers and semi-autos, ROA’s, XD’s, HK’s and Sigs..
What I shoot the best: MY ROA .45= 1.5” groups at 80 yards, Over 20 Whitetails to date.
My Dan Wesson .357= 3” groups at 100 yards, 17 Whitetails/Mulies and 2 Elks
My 1911 .45= 4” groups at 50 yards, 4 Whitetails, 8 Turkeys
My HK .40 = 5” group at 50 yards, 3 Whitetails
My Buckmark .22 = .5” at 25 yards, More Rabbits, Squirrels, and Grouse than I can count.
With the Glock 20 so far = 3” at 25 yards.
So here come the questions:
1) What aftermarket barrel should I get for her 19? I say this because I do reload and want the fully supported chamber without the little dimples on the brass and the ability to shoot my cast bullets. If at the same time I can get a little better accuracy then even better. I’ve looked into the Alpha Wolf threaded at 4.6”.. Suggest any alternatives?
2) Same question for the 20 for me.. 10mm ammo is really impossible to find over the counter anywhere around here so I’ve picked up the dies to reload it as well. The stock barrel seems to like the 200 gr. pills the best, but that may change with the new barrel. I’ve looked into the KKM 6” Match barrel in 10mm. Suggest any alternative’s?
The overall goal here is with practice to end up at a 5-6” group with the Glock 20 at 100 yards. I don’t think that is an unreasonable nor unattainable goal.
3) I’m getting a set of SlantPro Straight Eight Night Sights, I think they should help extend the range a bit to end up with some hunting accuracy and low light sight picture. The Glock sites leave a bit to be desired. Suggest any alternative’s?
I am also considering making up a Glock Pistol Pack on the Glock 20 by picking up extra barrels to shoot other calibers thru my 20 with the same Glock 20 Magazines.
4) That said I’m looking at another KKM barrel in .40 cal conversion standard length 4.6”. Also looking at the Lone wolf conversion barrel 9mm in 6”. Suggest any alternative’s?
5) And lastly I’m thinking a 3.5# connector for the trigger group. However, I Don’t know much about alternatives.. While I know I’ll never get say a 1911 style trigger, I can get used to another trigger if it will enhance the accuracy of the weapon or keep the same trigger and just change the connector. I don’t want to and won’t do anything for a better trigger that affects reliability.
So please limit the discussion to answering the questions if you can.. I’m not trying nor do I even really want a which is a better gun argument to erupt. Guns are tools and I’ll learn to use them as is or I’ll make the mods so that they are better if I can. So far I like our Glocks, I just want to do what I can to make them a little better.
