Good job OP for making it work for you. How have the ETS mags worked for you? In the review process I'll write up a full review in April after they have seen at least 5k rounds but I've been purposely throwing them around concrete and so far they seem tough. And you just cant beat the value |

I will give it one thing. It will be a damn good "working gun". It's not tacticool or tier one but it looks like a damn workhorse.

OP I like it.....it's got that end of the world type SHTF look sorta thing going on.

I tell you what the more I play with this glock craft trigger the more I like it I'm gonna leave it as is bc when it breaks in after a 1000 or so rounds I think it will be perfect. Ordered a vickers tactical extended mag release. Doing dry fire drill exposed the oem as a weakness for me. |

To get this thread up to speed yes my slide cracked. Slipped out of my hands and fell on the kitchen floor and cracked .... #glock perfection.
Anyways glock is handling it for 180$ so not too shabby. Gonna change directions while I'm at it having them install night sights. Factory suppressor sights are going to dashispy and my factory threaded barrel is now in the EE https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_89/1521545_Glock_17_oem_threaded_barrel_new_unfired.html Ordering a s3f barrel.... No real reason behind the barrel change lol bc I fucking can Crack But at least I installed the magwell and mag release |
|
I actually like the frame, but you'll be better off with a stock slide sans cerakote.
|

Well I ended up going a different route to replace the cracked slide. It's gonna be a hot minute before I can throw a pistol can in nfa jail and I just started paper work on another can so its gonna be a bit before I'll be suppressing any of my pistols. Took this as an opportunity to tailor this gun to me a little more if you will, as well as just having a bit more fun with it since its just going to be a range/fun gun most likely.
I wanted to keep the cracked slide and glock would not let that happen, plus the 2 week turn around, and it was looking to be about 230$ with shipping. I went ahead and ordered a bare bones solid lonewolf g17 slide. Nothing fancy just a solid (no cuts) stripped slide with a nice carry bevel and front press check serrations for 185$ shipped. That will be here this Friday. Sold my factory barrel and ordered a blem s3f solutions barrel for 190$ fluted and tin coated I love flat black rear sights was gonna order a flat black rear with FO front (what I usually run on everything), however decided to order the Kyle Defoor sights which are black rear and black serated front. I like the concept behind them and will give them a try. Easy enough to swap the front out for a FO if I don't like the black front. Decided to also order the "frank Proctor wotg" package while I was at it. He reps these parts very heavily for reliability so I figured I'd give it a try: Which are: Proctor striker spring by Zev Zev connector Zev trigger spring Zev fps plunger and spring Zev recoil rod Ismi 13 lb recoil spring. Also ordered the glock armorer tool, lwd striker sleeve tool, and a replacement oem striker sleeve Anxious to see how the trigger turns out combining everything withe the glockkraft show and bar Everything will be in Friday. Should be a fun weekend |

Saga continued this week lone wolf slide was out of spec so I sent it back. Purchased a unity tactical slide from the lgs.
Installed everything today and ran into a few snags fine tuning the setup Alright played with a couple different setups Setup 1 Gk trigger Zev connector Zev fps plunger and spring Zev proctor striker spring Zev trigger spring Setup 1 worked with factory striker spring and fps but with the zev upper parts it was stupid light but would often release striker on reset Setup 2 Same as 1 but with factory trigger /trigger bar and factory trigger spring. Problem became a little less but still there Setup 3 Same as 1 but used factory fps and spring Problem still there Setup 4 Started trouble shooting and trying different setups. Narrowed it down to the connector and trigger spring. Removed zev connector and trigger spring. Installed zev proctor striker spring and fps plunger and spring Problem solved. And I like the break wayyyy better with factory connector. It's still feels a lot lighter and most of the grit is gone trigger is now super smooth with a glass rod break. My question is why would the zev connector be causing problems ? And is it bad to run a light striker spring with a stock connector ? |

fell on the floor and cracked . Kinda hard to believe, but it must have fallen and hit just right for that to happen.

Metal guide rod? Gross...
Other than that, it actually looks pretty great now. |

Aftermarket guide rods do nothing for reliability. If anything, they decrease reliability with a standard weight slide. Personally, I'd consider the OEM Gen3 RSA to be the most rugged in handgun history.

After a lifetime of 1911's I recently purchased my first Glock (G19 gen4).
After reading this entire thread twice, I offer the following opinions: 1. I like everything about the OP's pistol, from choice in aftermarket mods to the stippling pattern. I personally think it looks great, but more importantly I think the sum of the mods makes it a much better pistol than stock. Better trigger, barrel, sighting system, grip. Custom fit for the OP's hand and style of shooting. Intelligent build. The cerakote finish on the original slide wouldn't have been my first choice, but I still liked it, and appreciate the fact that he knew what he wanted and went for it. 2. I might be new to this particular forum, but I've got decades of experience on internet gun boards. That being said, I still get surprised when people take the time to post comments that add nothing to the thread. Nice work, Patch. That's a balls-to-the-wall approach to personalizing your pistol, and I applaud you. -Paul |

Now the slide change wasn't planned but I was planning on adding a rds down the road anyway so figured might as well take care of it while I have the chance. I'm new to glocks as well. I already have a g34 on the way. |

Good for you. I know this is hard for Glock robots to handle but you can actually tune you gun for performance. Using things such as smoothing up the action and the trigger to finding a good recoil spring to match what your shooting. Irony is gun was 100% reliable with a 13lb recoil spring and was very quick back on the sights. Here is a good watch https://youtu.be/Wqo2cZlllg4 View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
