I have also posted on the GD forum. This might be old news to some, but I will post it for the others:

WARNING!!!!!

Danger: A very serious and potentially life threatening situation has recently come to our attention. An aftermarket trigger distributed by GunAccessories.com defeats the firing pin safety in GLOCK pistols when it is installed. The vertical extension on a GLOCK trigger bar is in constant contact with the firing pin safety once this trigger is installed. If a loaded pistol is dropped, it will discharge without the trigger being pulled.

If you have installed this aftermarket part, immediately remove it from your pistol. If you know anyone else who has installed this trigger, please notify them immediately.

If this part is installed in your gun, it can discharge if the gun is dropped or jarred. Obviously this will lead to an unintentional discharge and may cause serious bodily injury to yourself or another.

Thanks for the info LT. This is one reason I try to avoid some of these aftermarket parts out on there.

The only thing I see that needs changing in a Glock is the sites. This gun is as best as they come. Why mess with perfection.

Agreed. The odds are that any changes you do to a Glock will just mess it up. I don't even mind the Glock factory sights for daytime shooting. I admit that night sights are a great addition to the gun though.

I would add an extended slide stop to the (short) list.
