I found a gen2 G17 that I'm considering buying. It's got some good wear on the slide and frame, but overall seems to be in good shape. If one were to purchase a gen2 gun, what would you look at as far as updating it? I don't mean external parts, as I can figure that out myself, but I mean as far as internally, such as springs?
Or anything in general I guess, if it were you, what would you change or update? ETA: I have been looking at DSG Arms website because of the discount they offer, and I see they have most Zev springs and other various parts. I see lots of different spring kits and springs and I'm not gonna lie, I don't understand what they all do and in conjunction with what. |

Really? I've never heard of this. So the rebuild is $59? How much do they charge for night sites? Here's how it goes when you send your gun in for Glock night sights: 1- strip slide off of the frame and remove the slide plate, firing pin, extractor depressor plunger and spring. 2- put the stripped slide in a USPS Priority box along with a Glock Warranty Repair form: https://us.glock.com/documents/GLOCK%20Warranty.pdf 3- Either include a check for $59 (plus your local tax) OR have Glock call you for your credit card number. 4- Bring it to the post office. 5- Wait about 7 working days. 6- Slide will arrive Via Fedex (you'll have to sign). Slide will have new night sights ALONG with new slide plate, firing pin, extractor depressor plunger and spring. 7- Enjoy. Glocks night sight replacement program is really the best deal lon the planet as far as I'm concerned. |

Look through this, go through your Glock thoroughly and replace the parts you need. As I say, a new spring kit is highly recommended and if you identify any older parts that are seen in the article, update them. |
