I am the opposite when it comes to modifications. If it works no reason to change anything. I prefer to buy things that fill an intended role out of the gate. For example I would not buy a box stock 1911 then send it to a smith to build a bullseye gun, I will just buy a les Baer hardball or wadcutter gun and be done. As far as carry guns as long as it is reliable and shoots to the sights there is no gain to me to change anything. I don't feel a need to add every gadget to a uspsa type gun to shave every second off my time but simply show up
With my carry gun and do the best I can with what I normally carry. I know some people that do a lot of mods and they fall into a few categories: Those that know what they are doing and see benefits from mods on target- God bless Those that really have not mastered fundamentals and try to buy improvement with tinkering Those that mod stuff only to discover it doesn't help them or actually discover unintended consequences that results in them going back to stock anyway |

Everything but my son's AR carbine.
I'm more into modifying vehicles for better performance, or computers. Firearms require a modification to yield a very high return or I'll likely consider it adequate as is. My Glock 30S will eventually get some love, thinking a trigger upgrade of some type and better sights. Probably going to be it though. |

For many years I was really into just buying guns. About two years ago I did my first trigger upgrade and got bit! I am now more focused on making the guns I have good shooters and in a configuration that I like, as opposed to just buying more guns. I really only have 3 stock guns: Rem 870, WASR10, and my Springfield TRP.

St... Sss-tah... St-ahk... stock? Stock? Is that how you say it?
Manufacturers don't really sell the guns I want at the prices I want to pay. Hell. I had a custom 1911 built to spec by the Springfield Custom Shop and I changed the grips as soon as I received it, because I already had the Gunners I wanted to put on it, and I thought the pretty wood grips would be nice to have, and didn't cost anything extra. For me it's both cheaper and more fun to buy a cheap base model gun, preferably used, then set it up exactly the way I want it. Especially with pistols, as personal as sidearms are, it feels nice to know that I've put my "stamp" on the gun, even if it's they're small and minor modifications, even if it's just adding grip tape in places and changing the grips. ~Augee |

all of my ARs and Glocks are modded, only thing I have bone stock is a Springfield 1911 Loaded. I shoot it occasionally, not enough to justify doing much of anything to it that would improve my shooting. Its a really nice shooter as-is.

Of all the service pistols (as opposed to customs) that I own, I would say the ones that I have shot the most without changing anything are the Steyrs, SIG P320s, and the FNSs.
They don't really need anything, which is fortunate because there isn't a whole lot that can be done with them yet. I've also left my S&W M&P Pros stock as well. The trigger is plenty good enough for me. I have done some mods to the service models. Ruger American didn't need anything. Ditto for the Caracal. CZ P-09 hasn't been touched yet, but it could benefit from sights that don't suck and a lightened DA trigger. HK USP .45 hasn't been modified, though it gets shot so rarely that who cares. I have the same attitude toward the S&W 3rd gens. |

All my Glock and M&P's got modded quite a bit, M&P's by far the most.
I never messed with my HK's back when I had them (USP's and MK23's, a P2000 and at one point a P30 LS). The P30 LS needed mods bad, because the trigger was atrocious....but to fix it would have cost about 400 bucks at Bruce Gray, and I wasn't going to spend that on a 950 dollar gun, so I sold it. P226 Legion SAO was perfect out of the box. Nothing needed. Except for, after about 300 rounds, a trigger that didn't have a nice notchy stop in the middle of the pre-travel which Sig insisted was "in spec and normal". If it werent for that, the gun would have been basically perfect, but with Sig's lack of desire to do anything that even resembled mediocre CS, I sold it. Shame too. I loved that thing. I've settled for modded Glocks. They're cheap enough I can put a few bucks into them and not feel bad, and on the occasion I've needed their CS, they take care of stuff. |

I haven't modded my VP9, but that's only because I haven't FOUND many mods for the VP9 yet.
-- I'm hoping to find out if the "match spring kit" is good or not. I'll have to see if they make something like a "maritime firing pin cup" and see what the consensus is on the aluminum firing pin sleeve. -- * I DO wish I could get rid of the overtravel (but I'm not ready to drop $250-$300 and a month or two with a Bruce Grey just yet). I also wish there was a wider trigger and aftermarket side and rear grip-panels. |

Two XDMs are still totally stock and totally stored in my safe.
My old BDM 9Mm is still totally stock and also in the safe. I have a S&W .357 with a 4" barrel and fixed sights I've never even shot, let alone modded. I have an old Colt 1911 (made in 1917, and government marked) that I haven't added anything to or taken anything off, just replaced a defective thumb safety. I have a fairly new P09 in .40 S&W that hasn't been touched, just shot. I have a newer urban gray P01 that is still totally stock. All the other revolvers and semi auto pistols have been modified in some way or other. Sights, trigger work, aftermarket parts added/stock parts removed, grips changed, recoil spring/guides changed, etc., etc. I guess, if it's one a shoot a lot, I eventually figure out it just "needs something" to make it better. If I find it's not something I'd risk carrying then it's not worth spending money on and it stays stock. |

I guess it depends on what's considered a mod. I don't consider myself a modder, but I put SRTs in my SIGs, along with Hogue grips. The PPQ needed NS, and Talon grips were a nice addition. The VP9 needed the mag paddles filed down to not stick up. XCR got a folding charging handle and ACR stock adapter. 870 got Mesa stock adapter with CTR and Hogue pistol grip and quad rail with AFG. And a LM choke. Did a little refinishing to the P230SL slide that had a hard life.
But I don't consider those "mods." Well maybe the VP9 filing work, but I have replacements to get back to factory. No irreversible work or non-factory action parts. Completely untouched would be ANVIII 1911, SP2022 and P7 PSP. |

Classics and sight changes not-with-standing. What have you left stock? For me, the only handgun I've never touched besides buffing the feed ramp and new sights is an FNP-45. It's pretty good from the factory, but they are also not a great host for modifications. Well, since night sights don't count... My SP-01, P-01, and 97B are all stock. The more I shoot them the better/smoother they get! |
