The smallest of differences. But they feel so good.

So today I modified my Glock 26 in exactly the same way I modified my LCR. I painted the front sight a bright and garish yellow. For some reason my shooting really improves with just that very tiny difference in sight picture. And I do mean massively.

Is there any other small things like that, that you folks have done to your guns that for some reason make a huge difference? Because so far I haven't seen a single gun other than my own that have a painted front sight.

Putting a "Glock sock" on a Glock improved my grip 110% and now all my autos have "Glock socks", even the Ruger MKII.

The best part of it all..."Glock socks" are FREE


Note: a "Glock sock" is just a piece of bicycle inner tube, free from the local bike shop.

Painted sights are fine on SD guns I guess.

Not so much on target guns.

They reflect light from the side far worse then matte black sights, making you center the front sight off-center.
And you will find your group moves with the sun all day. Or even if a cloud comes over.

Bullseye target shooters blacken & dull their sights with carbide lamp smoke for that reason.

I stuck a trigger shoe on one of my guns, and it made a huge difference in comfort. They're cheap and are made for a lot of models. I think they'd make certain molded holsters unsafe to use, though.

I like to add a Tyler T-Grip adapter to my S&W J frame snubbies. Just enough grip without being too large for concealment. I also like to use Pachmayr grips on my M1911 type guns, but I always remove the center grip section on them. Makes the grips feel less bulky in my hand.

Trigger Shoe? Do tell. What is that?

From the same fine Oklahoma gentlemen who bring you the T-grip.


(although I like T grips, I am not a fan of these shoes)

Not a fan of the T-Grip, tbh. I was thinking my next investment would be a smooth but still stock-esque Glock trigger. I don't like serrated triggers.
