and updating to new parts?
pain in the arse? worth it? guy i know has a glock 30, which i'm really wanting right now... i can get it significantly cheaper than a new one, but he said his doesn't have the rails that the newer ones have... if i ever wanted to upgrade to the rails, is that a huge deal? do i have to send it to glock and get them to do it? |
