So my carry gun is a G19.5 and I love it to death. However I want to start training with a red dot and put a dot on it. I'd rather not mill the slide, and I'd rather simply buy an optic ready slide instead of a 19MOS.

Is the general consensus that it is a No-Go to carry with any aftermarket parts? Or are certain ones okay? My idea was either a Zev or Zaffiri slide with OEM slide parts.

Also, if you are against the idea, please share why. I've heard some people say that from a legal standpoint a fully stock pistol is easier to defend or something crazy like that. And I know some people say non-stock Glocks are less reliable.

Thanks for the help.

Do what you want and are comfortable with.  
We got forced to switch to RMRs on our duty weapon so I had mine milled.  I bought a non-MOS Glock 45 to carry off duty and had it milled the same and got the same RMR to use.

This way, I carry pretty much the same off duty and on duty and am used to it.

I’ve heard this issue online but I’ve not ever seen it referenced in a court case. A good shoot is a good shoot.

I use custom stuff. I shoot better with it, I enjoy it, and the more I enjoy it the more I shoot with it. So I get better with it.

I don’t get the idea of carrying something cheap or not nice on the off chance that if you need it and it’s taken you never get it back. My Baer wears ivory grips and was not cheap but shoots well and I like it. If I lose it after needing it I will go buy another the same day.

Same with custom parts. Buy what you like and practice with it, carry proudly

I'll start with the idea that you pistol is reliable and no upgrades needed to insure that.

1.  Sights.  Sights you can use in all weather and light conditions.
2.  Grip.  Be sure the grip aides you in keeping control of your pistol.  Under any conditions.
3. Holster.  Be sure the holster you choose to use keeps you pistol where you want it till you need it and is easy to get the pistol out of when you want it out.
4.  Ammo.  Be sure your pistol is reliable with the ammo you choose to carry.

My carry pistol(s) have RMRs/Holosun red dots and back up sights on them.  The magazine in the pistol is a standard capacity mag. for that pistol (easier to conceal with the shorter magazine) but the back up (IWB pouch) has an extended base on it for more rounds (it's even a magazine for the full sized pistol version of my compact with an extended base, so even more rounds).

I was completely satisfied with my pistols grip/texture and sort of laughed about people complaining that model needed something else to improve the grip.  One day at the range is was so hot/humid that I sweated to the point that it was getting that slick/slimy feel to it and I noticed I was having to reacquire my grip position every 2 or 3 shots.  I went home and ordered a talon grip panel for it.  No issues like that since.  

Good luck with your pistol/upgrades.  When you consider the costs of the upgrades, put that down side by side on a piece of paper with what you feel your life is worth.  Life will win out over the pistol/upgrade costs.

I wouldn't put a trigger that is any lighter on it or engrave "death to all that oppose me" on the slide but otherwise do what you want. Personally I like stock because I own multiples and don't want to have to customize each one.

Best upgrades are a good light, quality holster and belt plus a red dot.

Yea, that was my main thought too. Like I said, only really interested in getting an aftermarket slide so I don't have to get my slide milled. Stock frame, Glock OEM slide parts kit.

Good to hear it's not as bad a idea as a lot of the old guys I hang around

Glock 19?  Perfection already.  

Add a quality light.  If you are willing to put in the work and expense then adding an optic is an increasingly good option.  Other than that I wouldn't waste a bunch of money on it.  What makes the biggest difference is a quality holster suited for your method of carry.  And a good belt.

I feel that a good shoot is a good shoot and a bad shoot is a bad shoot.  I think the only way it may matter is if you do something like alter the trigger pull then have a negligent discharge or something similar

Carry what you shoot well and are confident with including 100% reliability

I’m a Glock guy on and off duty and I shoot about once a week sometimes more.

When I’m off it’s usually a G43X or G48 with a spare mag (G19 with a X300U in the truck console safe)

At work it’s a G45 with X300U or G34 ( I work plain clothes so I’m not stuck carrying our issued G17 since I prefer my Dawson sights)
Link Posted: 1/14/2021 11:40:28 AM EDT
[#10]
Every now and then I run into someone who preaches against carrying with modifications, but I carry a G19.4 (MOS) with an RMR, X300U and a bunch of different aftermarket parts including trigger. I shoot better with these upgrades. The way I look at, if you can justify any changes you've made, and havent negated any safety features, you should be fine. About the only thing I wouldn't do is put a back plate with any writing on it that could be construed negatively, or a punisher skull for example.

OP, what you propose is sound, so long as you vett it for reliability.  

Don't stress over legalities.  Aftermarket slide is nothing that could be used against you.

I think the legality parts comes into play after the shoot.  First thing after you have called 911 and cops are on scene and everything is deescalated shut your mouth.  Only thing you should say is I was the shooter, I was in fear of my life, I am willing to give a full statement and cooperate in any way I can, and you request to have legal representation present to answer any questions or give your statement.  Everything you say will be used against you in a court of law not in your favor.  So you say I accidentally shot or I did not mean to do this that looks like negligence.  So if you find yourself in a shooting and survive your survival depends on your statement as well.  So SHUT YOUR MOUTH and wait till you are not cranked up on adrenaline or coming down from the adrenaline high.  Do not talk to your friends, wife, or family about it immediately afterwards keep to the facts I was involved in a defensive shooting, I am ok, I love you, and I will tell you more when I can.

This.  Don't say a damn thing.  You might think you have all the data, but you don't. Your mind will make up things to fill voids, but it will seem like it all makes sense and is real.  Then, 72 hours later when your brain has processed all the data, you'll realize you said some things that weren't correct, and now you look like a liar or someone who can't make up his mind.

There might be someone there after the event who tries to act like a friend and just wants to make you comfy so you'll talk.  They want you to make a statement so they can get their jobs "done".  Please don't. No matter what.

I say this, knowing it is much easier to say than it ever would be to do if I ever - God forbid - find myself in this situation.

I mainly carry a G23, the only internal change I made was a Ghost Connector.  I just got a laser/light combo the O-Light Baldr mini.  Really like it, had a crimson trace rail master pro before & that was a POS.  I've also got a Technaclip on it.  I put the grip plug in as well and painted the rear sights with green glo-on & the front with red glow paint from a different mfg'er as I couldn't find glo-on in any other colors at the time I ordered.  One other thing that's not really a change to the pistol but to the mag is the X-Grip adapter to hold a G22 mag without the gap.

That cop had more issues than that stupid dust cover. An attorney saying shit to the papers is different than getting a conviction because of two words on a dust cover.
Would I put stupid shit like that on a gun? Nope, I am not 12 years old, or a moron, but convicting someone of murder because of it is wrong and even more stupid. Nothing in the elements of the crime say anything about decorations on a gun.

Sounds more like a prosecutor problem than a gun "appearance" problem. A 10mm 1911 is not unreasonable to use for self defense.
The 10mm was developed by the fbi specifically for self defense.

The FBI didn't develop the 10mm, Jeff Cooper did.  The FBI adopted AFTER the 1986 Miami incident.  Then they realized the females & smaller agents couldn't handle the recoil.  S&W along with Winchester then developed the 40cal after the FBI requested a 10mm downloaded, but even then the FBI didn't request a new caliber, just wanted a 10mm round with less recoil.

Basically, the only "upgrades" that are "somewhat lawyer proof" are those that you would find on your local PD's firearms.  Restated: night sights and a light.  It can even be argued that you spent extra money to be "safer" by being able to see your sights and identify your target.

I upgraded my carry G19 MOS and G17 MOS with suppressor sights, FCD RMR mount, Type2 RM06, and Kagwerks raised slide stops to prevent my support palm from activating/holding down the stock slide stop.

Ive been wondering about upgrading triggers because Glocks are terrible by every way you can measure a trigger, but the Gen5's are much more palatable than previous gems for me, so I don't think about it much these days.

Mod it to make it work better for you, not to be cool and you'll be golden.

Yes. Study deadly force law, there are countless examples, way too in depth to describe here. Masad Ayoob is a good resource, as is Andrew Branca. I also have a close friend who was involved in a self defense shooting and was put through the ringer by the prosecution. His gun, the ammo he used, and other details that a lot of people would consider completely irrelevant, were placed under extreme scrutiny during his trial. The concept that “a good shoot is a good shoot” is a fallacy in the real world, and to believe otherwise is purely ignorant.

Not guilty. But that doesn't mean that specific physical equipment properties are irrelevant in a court of law.  It just takes one sharp prosecutor with an agenda, coupled with a not so great defense attorney, to convict you of murder based on evidence that common sense says shouldn't matter.

Must have been some circumstance or doubt why it was not a good shot to go all the way to trial.  Like your buddy opening his mouth or witness statements that made the shoot questionable.  They indicted him on something...

I am really trying to understand this statement. The elements of murder and manslaughter are pretty well defined in the code of law, and nowhere that I have read do accessories on a firearm apply to those elements.
It is my personal experience knowing two separate people who were involved in self defense shootings, neither one reached an actual trial, as they met the elements for self defense. The firearms, one a shotgun and the other a pistol, were not critical parts of the evidence taken to the grand jury.

Just from a reliability standpoint (any potential legal issues aside), I think choosing a milled aftermarket slide from a reputable manufacturer and using Glock factory parts to complete it is a good way to try out an RMR for the first time. I'd be confident carrying an aftermarket slide from one of the well-known brands, but I'd personally start with OEM parts in it to eliminate any additional variables until I've confirmed that the slide is 100% reliable. I bought a Brownells RMR cut slide for exactly that reason - to try out my first RMR without having to modify a Glock factory slide - but I don't know if I would personally carry that brand just because the finish on their slide serrations tends to be pretty rough.

The only thing I'll contribute to the legality / liability discussion is that I've heard / read several comments from reputable trainers, including Massad Ayoob, that it's a good practice to find out what brand / type of ammunition your local law enforcement, state police, etc. carry for duty use, such as Gold Dots, HSTs, etc. Using that same ammunition for personal defense makes it hard to question in court, if you can articulate that you chose it because it had been vetted and used by local law enforcement agencies.

I hate to interrupt a good myth, but the FBI never issued full power 10mm ammo. Before any 10mm pistol was ever issued, the Firearms Training Unit realized the extra recoil of full power ammo was not needed to meet their criteria.

Blaming “females & smaller agents” for using mid-level ammo is not accurate either. FBI agents shoots hundreds of rounds a day during training. Even manly men would be worn out from shooting this much full power 10mm, when that level of recoil is not needed.

I was just offering my opinion based on some real world experience.  People can take it or leave it but no way in hell am I providing info on the actual court case of a very close friend, just to prove to internet strangers that I’m not full of shit, it’s not that important to me.  It’s BS like this that reminds me why I left this forum years ago.

So internet myth is exactly what this will stay.  If it were true you would share the court case as it is completely public record.  Or the alternative is your close friend was involved in a case of when assholes collide and you do not want to share because it would spoil your internet claim.  BS like what you are doing is what is wrong with the site baseless claims with no source cited.  If you hate this site so much why are you here just to pollute the site with internet myths?
