All I've done is put night sites on. Some guy at a gun show tried to convince me that I should let him put in a 2.5lb disconnector, but I refused. I don't think that's a good idea for a carry gun.

Nothing fancy, just basics: I have two early G17s & a G19. One G17 is just as it came. The G19 (my primary concealment gun) and the other G17 both have 3-dot tritium sights, LaserMax internal visible lasers, lighter triggers, and grip-plugs.

How does 13+1 work in a 1911, or 10+1 if you have those Clintonista mags? I have one with a plug, nite sites, and decal grips. I think the decal grips are one of the better mods you can do, no more holding onto slippery plastic. |

I have a stock piece.
Got it with factory night sights. I did add a +2 extension to each of the three 13rd Preban mags I had......not sure I am going to keep them modified though.... |

Suppose I'm attacked by 14 zombies. If I had a 1911 I would have to do at least one reload. Everyone knows zombies speed up when they sense a reload, that's when they get you.

I always put the Glock 17 trigger in my 19s and 26s. I also always install the 34 slide stop.
I'm looking into the Ghost rocket trigger. |

My G17 is the Glock I have had the longest, so she has the most modifications on her.
I have a ported Stainless Steel barrel. Shok Buf Recoil Buffer Tungston steel guide rod w/ 22lb. recoil spring added (captive) Extended Slide release Extended Magazine release Trigicon Night Sights Grip Plug Heavy Duty Magazine springs in all of my clips The heavier recoil spring, shock buf, and ported barrel does wonders to the G17. Not only does she feed better, the felt recoil is next to nothing compared to stock. After the initial break in of about 200 rounds the gun has shot and fed flawlessly. |

I don't understand the grip plug. The Glock was designed with that hole on purpose to allow you to strip a magazine if it became stuck in the gun. Why would you plug the hole up and lose that feature?

Are stuck mags on Glocks common cause I never had a mag stick on me. The plug is easy enough to remove |

A stuck mag can happen on any gun. Hang around an IDPA match (or shoot one yourself sometime) and see how many different types of failures you see/get. The plug just seems like a solution looking for a problem (as do most Glock add-ons for that matter). I guess these companies make their bread off the fact that most gun guys like to tinker, and will buy all sorts of useless garbage just because they can. |

I've got Arredondo +6 floorplates on my G17 mags and +2 floorplates on my G19 mags. I've got no worries about getting a mag stuck, there's plenty to pull with.

OK, but that still doesn't answer the question of the purpose of the plug. You've (sort of) established that it doesn't hurt you, but what does it do to help? |

I live/shoot/hike in the desert. There's sand everywhere, and often wind. The plug helps keeps my pistol free from internal sand, whether holstered or out (maybe you haven't noticed the grip tunnel goes all the way through, into the inside of the pistol. Sand will find its way through also- if you don't believe me, pull the slide from your Glock and shine a small flashlight up from the bottom- you'll see plenty of light from the top.). It also works as a guide at the back of the mag when reloading. |

Yep, I find that mag changes are much easier with the butt plug installed. If I need to, I can pop it right out (although I've never had to). Not to mention, I kept getting lint and other crud up there.

My 29 is still box-stock. She'll get trijicons, but that's about it.
My 35 wears adjustable tritium sights (MMC) and I swapped in a standard mag release. As for the non-Glock spammers, I'd feel like a dipshit if I went and thread-crapped in 1911, Sig, and Hk posts. Buncha  s.

I was thinking of Tritium nightsights but the comped barrel flash would make the sights useless? Unless I used a low flash ammo, but who makes it?

IIRC most good defensive ammo is low flash. Night sights are still useful though. |

Wow, there are some whoppers posted here! Lemme clear up some of the thoughts, as some confusion seems to exist. For the record, Yes, I have been throug the Glock Armorer's course.
1) I put a 17 trigger in my 19 and 26 These parts are not interchangable (see p.7 of the armorer's manual) 2) The issue of some magazines "sticking" in the gun when you drop them. The original Glock mags were not "Drop Free" and they were supposed to be removed by hand from the pistol. Hence the different mags you see on the market "Drop Free" or "Non-Drop Free" 3) Use of a plug for the hole in the grip- the space behind the mag well on full size and compact Glocks (not subcompacts) is open all the way into the trigger spring housing and you can get debris inside the pistol if you use it in a hostile environment. This is also true on a 1911 "mil-spec" type that you can rock the slide back and forth on the frame. CLEAN YER GUNS!! 4) Filling in letters and numbers with "white" crayon. This is prohibited under articles of the *cough cough* accords. They clearly state you must use "Crayola Tactical White". Owners of Hk pistols may substitue "Crayola Tactical Red" The huge popularity of the Glocks stem from the fact they are ready to go out of the box. If a shooter does not feel this way and thinks they need modding, there are a few possible reasons: 1) He or she is a complete idiot and believes everything he or she reads on the internet 2) He or she really wishes they bought a 1911 but couldn't afford it 3) He or she really is an advanced handgunner, and then will do what they want anyways Hope this helps, or pisses you off, or something!! |

It's obvious that your goal has become to troll around and be an obnoxious ass, and good luck with that. But your #1, which refers to my post, is just dead wrong. I don't know how old your armorer's manual is, or what armorer you stole it from, but the 17 trigger in the smaller guns is a pretty common swap, and works just fine. My last Glock 19 probably had 5,000 rounds through it in the 5 or so years I owned it, and every single round went bang, and every single round did so with the 17 trigger. and just because someone owns a Glock doesn't mean they "can't afford" a 1911. Some people actually can afford to own more than one gun. I know it's difficult for folks in your profession to fathom the idea, but it actually does happen! |

There was a time most of us had to make choices how we spent our gun dollars. I don't think any of us just woke up one day with a cabinet full of guns. We work for it. Well, except those of us in my "profession". We just put in our time

What's the difference between a 17 trigger and a 19 trigger? What's the advantage to using the 17 in the 19? My 19's inner workings are all bone stock.
