Just wondering are glock factory barrels, are there any aftermarket barrels out there that are better than glock factory? Also are there any other parts that are better than the glock factory Parts???

For self defense and fighting, I would use the stock barrel.  However if you are going to shoot reloads with lead bullets, or trying to squeeze the last bit of accuracy out, there are aftermarket barrels.  Lone Wolf, KKM, Barsto, etc.

I think just about all the aftermarket sights are better then the stock glock sights.

I like the Vicker's Tactical extended mag catch:

Jarvis makes an excellent barrel for the Glocks. For all around use it is hard to beat the factory barrel.

I have two Lone Wolf barrels - 5" comped for my G21, 6" non-comped for my G20.  Both work very well and have not compromised the reliability of either gun.  I got the barrels mainly for the better chamber support than the stock barrels, especially for the hot loads I shoot in the G20.  I'd have to say there's a marginal increase in accuracy, though the comped barrel on the G21 makes it an even softer shooter.  It's great for double taps and quick follow-up shots.  Decent prices too - $99.

I got an extended slide stop, but it didn't work well for me.  Using the two thumbs forward grip, my right thumb would rest right on the slide stop - it was uncomfortable and sometimes I'd unintentionally lock the slide.

I love the Hogue hand-all.  I have it on all my Glocks.  The palm swells and finger grooves fit my hand perfectly.

As mentioned, the stock sights aren't the best in the world. I also like the Vickers mag release, which is a bit longer than the stock 9/40 release, but a bit shorter than the 'extended' release.

KKM and Jarvis are good barrels, the only thing that really needs to be replaced are the sights unless you have factory night sights IMO.
