I never really "loved" the way they looked, but you cant deny how well they shoot. So today I just picked up my first Glock, a G19. So what should I do first: -Laser? (which one would yall recommend) -Light? (^ ^ ^ ^ ) Also what ammo are you running in them for HD or Carry? Thanks!  Byrd |

Forget what you're thinking... Here's what you do: Night sights (I like the standard Glock tritium or Novak) Mags (At least five, more the merrier) Speer GD are good (I use 147gr) Leave the trigger alone and just shoot it... It'll break in. Buy a TRL-1 light for HD (Until then a Surefire G2 will work) Forget the laser unless you have NVG, then it's fun! And welcome to the dark side of the moon.   I'm thinking of picking up another G19 in a couple days. |
 congrats on a great HGwell, imo, the only things a factory glock needs for some serious use are steel, night sights (Trijicon, Warren Tactical, Heinies, Meps, XS, etc get my vote); a good, quality, secure holster suited for your desired uses; glock factory mags and quality ammo; practice and training the rest is icing on the cake; a good durable weapons light does come in very handy, esp if your HG is a multipurpose/HD/nightstand gun (Streamlight TLR-1 for the price and quality, Surefire X200/300 also) as to lasers...well, imo, they are just about a useless investment for any serious use, esp if one doesnt know how to implement em or use it as a substitute for actual trigger time lasers can aid for close in shots, if the handler is incompassitated/other obstacle, low light/night; h/w, during lighted areas or of any distance shots, they are just about useless using a laser as an intimidation tool, a substitution for proper sight alignment/trigger control and imo, the money could be better spent on something else (like a good weapons light) i'd recommend just about any brand of quality, factory ammo for plinking; Speer Gold Dots, Winchester Ranger Ts, and Federal HSTs are my prefered carry ammo (147gr or 124/127gr +P JHP) look here for more info on carry ammo: www.ar15.com/content/page.html?id=237 www.ar15.com/content/page.html?id=258 .25cent glock trigger job if you want to help smooth out the trigger pull, but its not necessary |
