I've had a Glock 30 for years but I've always wanted a 19. I found a deal on a new FDE Gen 4 that I couldn't pass up. Any must-have parts right now for the Gen 4's?

Sights.
I prefer the Vickers magazine and slide releases, but I wouldn't consider them mandatory.

Night sights, that's it. I'm still waiting on my new 19 to show up at Cabelas.

Night sights, then shoot it. I picked up my second 19 last week.
Side note, does anyone know that FDE slide finish holds up compared to the black matte finish the Gen4's usually ship with?

I ordered some mags and new holster today. Here's a better look at the color. I'm surpised at how well the slide matches.

I would install some Trijicon HD sights (orange front) and a Vicker's slide stop. Also an X300U for when it sits in the night stand.

Just put about 600 rounds through it today. It's not the most accurate gun I've ever shot, but it's by far the easiest gun to shoot accurately that I've ever shot. If that makes sense. Why did I wait so long to buy one?

I know what you mean- some guns are much more mechanically inherently accurate than your same glock 19.
But some guns are just easier to get good accuracy from than others. For me groups I can get with the glock at 25 yards can't even be dreamed of at fifty, while I can get groups just a hair bigger than my 25 groups at fifty with a revolver and it does not seem to require nearly as much focus and effort for some reason. Most shooters have a gun they feel most comfortable and shoot best with . Another example I tried very hard to shoot a 1911 well in bullseye competition but simply shoot a revolver better. Back to glock. My 19 feels better in my hand than my 26, and seems easier to shoot even though my group sizes at speed are exactly the same with both, it just seems I am working harder to get that group than with the 19. Pretty abstract I know |

How much does that sweet FDE cost over a just black model?

I've said it before, I'll say it again--the G19 is the best handgun made. Add night sights and you're done IMO.

I know what you mean- some guns are much more mechanically inherently accurate than your same glock 19. I would respectfully disagree with this statement. When I was in the police academy, Phoenix PD was just switching over to Glock 17's. To prove accuracy of the gun, the instructor told us to hold the gun at exactly the same spot on the target at 25 yards. While we were concentrating on keeping the gun in the same spot, he pressed the trigger for 3 shots. My department was running the SW 4506, affectionately know as the "boat anchor".By this time having fired many volleys at 25 yards, I was totally surprised all 3 bullet holes were within an inch. This was repeated with each recruit with similar results and many of the Phx PD Glock shooters actually had bullet holes in the target touching, even with the smaller diameter 9mm!!! Did I mention this was at 25 yards?? Now I know other guns have features that make them easier to stay on target, such as smooth, feathery triggers, but mechanically I'm not sure you can get much more accurate than this with a handgun. If your groups are bigger than an inch (mine are usually about 6 to 10 inches at 25 yards taking all the time in the world to break the shot), it is due to your input on the gun while firing. |

Add night sites(Trijicon). I added a new trigger to my GEN 4 because I hated it but was a nice to have.

It's a real eye-opening experience; and it shows you just how much you're doing to disturb the POA while going through the process of pressing the trigger. "...and there you go, class. You now know that you cannot blame your bad groups on your weapon." |

I dig that full FDE finish very much, and was considering one for myself yesterday. It was considerably more than yours after sales tax and TICS fee.
