I didn't get good with a glock until I started shooting my slow precision shots at distance. I can now hit an a zone target with reasonable consistency at 100 yards and fairly easily at 50. Upping my skills at range made me much faster at 25 and in since it really forces you to focus on technique. Everything is muscle memory after that. I still hate my glock but my department issued it so I decided to not suck with it. I can appreciate what it is capable of.

lots of good advice here for your viewers. ive been a factory certified Glock armorer (and many others as well) for 25 years (LE) and seen many guns altered with non factory parts that did not cycle well that returned to absolutely reliable when factory parts were reinstalled..so listen to this guy ladies and gents this is good info! the most important thing a handgun has to be is RELIABLE! i too like the stippling as offer it to my after hours clients as well. I do not advocate replacing trigger systems with non factory units on duty guns or defensive pistols but cleaning up stock triggers is fine. if you are going to run quality base pad extensions on magazines carried for duty of defense make certain they are tested frequently to insure they will function properly if left fully loaded for long periods of time . the same can be true with non modified mags as well!

Great video. I was just having this exact conversation with an individual the other day. I was telling him, on my carry and defense pistols, I don’t change anything and leave everything stock. Beside what you spoke about, one also has to think if your gun malfunctions because of a defective factory part, you might have a legal recourse with the manufacturer, if you change stuff, you don’t have any legal recourse. You are the only one on you tube I’ve heard give this advise. All the other you tube personalities, encourage people to change parts because they are being paid to say it. Thank you for being honest.

YES. I wish I knew this 10 years ago! For upper small parts, OEM is always better. I only swap barrels with reloads, and springs (as you said) should only be changed if necessary. I’ve noticed the smaller the pistol is, the more sensitive to small changes it will be. Any changes in slide weight (cuts,optics, etc) might force you to get into the spring experimentation game. I’ve only had one pistol cerakoted, and it took 500 rounds of wear-in before it ran well again. Again-I wish I knew this a long time ago…

Bought a G20 for hiking. It bulged brass at the base so it was questionable if it was safe to reload. Ordered KKM barrel longer than factory to get extra velocity and no more bulged brass. Extra barrel length made the gun cycle so fast the brass would eject and hit the slide denting the brass. Installed MUCH heavier recoil spring to slow down slide. Did the job, and brass is saveable from weaker loads, still gets dented on the super hot stuff. Hoping that adding a reddot will add enough weight to slow the slide a Bit more. Just gets hard to justify when getting the slide cut costs almost the same as a XDME with an optic ready slide.

I plan to add a stainless after market Glock Store Glock 22 gen 4 recoil spring to my gun. I don't plan to shoot 5000rd 10000rd for at least 6-8yr. I'd add that Glock Store slide lock, disassemble is worth the $. I've put GS parts on 6, 7 Glock models since 2014 or so. Very well made, speeds up field strip, cleaning.

I'll admit I'm a gun novice. The second handgun I bought was a glock gen 5 g19 for the ambidextrous slide release. I bought that because of the known reliability. I now have other guns, but I love the stock glock, never fails. Sadly I'll say it has stood up better than my 1911 lol. But this video is a great assurance that I went right with the Glock.

You're right, people generally don't understand springs, their function and how to tune them. Do your research. For grip improvement I often like the tread traction tape like you'd put on your pickup step/bumper, stair treads, etc. "Tread safety tape" (name may vary) is available in home depot, etc., usually in the paint dept. and comes in a long enough roll that you'll never run out. I have a parkerized Browning Hi Power and it's worn and very slick, some tape pieces in all the right contact points (front of slide where serrations would be, grip areas, thumb rest points, etc.) work fantastically well. Glocks definitely benefit from this *semi-permanent* (the word you were looking for) solution and using a heat gun/hair dryer to warm, form and adhere the tape is a good idea. The texture is a bit rough at first but wears into the texture you want, not out of it. The other thing I always use is the plastic, recoil spring buffer that's a "donut" that goes between the end of the guide rod and slide which reduces the hard impact and lengthens slide and rod wear. As for felt recoil, any difference in feel is negligible. One warning about lights, people let ego control their decision making process when they buy a weapon light. It has to be the best name brand and light up 100yds. This is often a big mistake *unless* your going to be fighting outdoors, at night, at distances of 50+ yds. Having a weapon light with too much power in a home/close quarters situation is going to wash out your target, flood back in your face and impress your vision and give a very good target for your opponent to shoot. If you're going to be using a light for your house and lighting up a hallway, 200 is enough and 300 is plenty. Getting 500 and more lumens on a defensive pistol is going to hurt you as much as help. As for type... Get a 2-300 lumen light with a quick connect clamp and an activation switch that is ambidextrous and easily activated. The brand just needs to be one with good ratings over expensive labels. I have a $40 light on my Glock 17 that uses a CR123 battery, rubber covered, push button, 3 function (low, high, strobe) contact switch at rear of the light so either thumb works (I don't like the side-activated switches so much) and it's momentary or detent capable. It's strong enough to light a hallway or room, clearly identifying what im aiming at without blinding me in the process. It's also not too heavy or bulky. I can't remember the name off hand but itcwas an eBay find. I've had it for several years, good battery life and no malfunction whatsoever. I'm not saying don't get a name brand, I'm just saying you don't *have* to. The biggest thing is to remember, enough light is important, too much light is a detriment so, decide what environment you'll be in and buy accordingly. Are you really going to be facing bad guys outside at 100 yards and need to identify the color of their eyes? Probably not. *A tip...* When using your light inside, such as a hallway, have your weapon in a low ready position and shine your light *down,* letting it reflect up onto your target, it will not identify your face as a good place for them to shoot/hit as you're moving to your safe zone nor blind yourself as well as them. You can move the light to their face quickly enough and still blind and identify the target without hindering yourself in the process.

I have a KKM in it now solely for the compensator and the only other solid reason I’ve seen someone change it was a guy put in a KKM barrel in his Gen 4 because he cast his own lead bullets so he wanted a traditional lands and grooves barrel in his Gen 4 and he went with a decent aftermarket barrel.

I learned the last 3 years of twiddling with Glock OEM, good aftermarket , cheap aftermarket parts is to label them. I took inventory of each pistol I bought. Gut it them, took pictures of the parts, labeled them and in some cases marked them. Plastic baggies, daily vitamin pill containers are perfect for return springs, ejectors, extractor, firing pins, spring cups, etc. Oem parts are better made, crudely "finished". Good aftermarket parts are highly polished and fit expertly. Questionable parts stick like a sore thumb. Sometimes they work, sometimes they SUCK. Sometimes the cheap parts complement the OEM parts. It's a plethora, hodgepodge of things. Great video.

That said I did upgrade the sights with Amerigo sights with blacked out rear is just easier for me. Talon grip and extended mag release and slide release. All cheap upgrades.

Absolutely agree with you on the parts changing, I only change the safety plunger and recoil spring assembly for internal parts, and sights for external! I use only the stainless steel or heavy tungsten rod systems that are captive, and heavier Springs than the factory standard weight. I'm shooting both the 10mm and the .40 S&W, and minimum of 180 grain bullets in both, nothing lighter unless I absolutely have to. In the full size 10mm I went with 24 pound spring, 23 pounds in my 29, and 22 pounds in both my .40s, and they work awesome! My 27 is a bit snappy to shoot with the factory recoil spring assembly so I use the heavy tungsten in it, and stainless steel in my 22 gen5. All of my Springs are round wire, not the flat wire standard type. Definitely agree with you on the issue of magazines, the Glock mags are great and plentiful and people are very well advised to stick to them! I have no other types around, at all! What do you use for optics? I've never used optics on pistols before, though alot of my friends do, and I see more and more of them being used all the time!

The Timney alpha trigger is an amazing upgrade at a ridiculous price of $150. Doesn’t mess with the reliability or safety of the Glock, as the usual trigger “upgrades” would. Or even changing the trigger shoe and bar on my 43x made a world of difference. Last things I think are also important- depending on the shooter and size of gun- are extended slide releases (like $30 directly from Glock) and extended magazine release (also made by Glock. Vickers tactical also has an affordable one).

Timney Alpha trigger is known for not being drop safe. Load a mag with a dummy round on top, charge the pistol, then drop it from 6 feet on carpet from several angles to check the drop safety.

@@5jjt Actually, after looking at all of the videos posted and articles written about drop safety for a year and a half, I'm convinced that the trigger IS drop safe. A few KZbinrs early on speculated it might not be, but couldn't actually demonstrate it. In the 18 months since the trigger was released, I have not seen a single report of an accidental discharge.

@@GunWillTravel One guy demonstrated it pretty well with a cutaway model and showed how little force it took to set off the sear and it was only like a pound or less of pressure. I was going to get one but I'm a little cautious because of that. I've always been leery or carrying a gun with no external safeties, but at least I feel pretty confident in Glock's factory standard internal safeties and trigger. It's when you start tinkering with that things get a little dicey for me. I haven't seen anyone perform any actual drop tests. You know of some videos demonstrating it?

My go-to handgun is a Gen4 G31, and it’s been a great gun. Gen4 grip texture is outstanding right out of the box, and they have the enlarged mag release from the factory. Only things I’ve added are an extended slide release and night sights. Extended slide release is easier to manipulate for me, but I did have to adjust my grip a little to avoid lock-back failures. Never had a problem with the factory sights over years of use and carrying, but I wanted them to be usable in the dark, so I eventually upgraded to some AmeriGlo tritium 3-dots. They work good and are very visible in the dark, but I wish they didn’t have such sharp corners on the rear sight. Definitely given me a few scratches over the years. I also have a Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel for it. Definitely not as well-made or reliable as the factory barrel, but it works great for practice. In fact, I think the occasional malfunction during practice can be a good thing.

100% agree with replacing internal parts. I bought a new trigger kit for my 21 and it came with the "upgraded" extractor .. now she doesn't feed with the 27 round mag sticks. Cerakote should only be on external parts to help protect it IMO. I was looking to get a 29 and upgrading the barrel just for a bit more velocity and weight for follow up controllability but after watching this I'll see how I like it with just training first before going mod-crazy. Great video

The Timney alpha trigger is not a duty trigger. It lives on the borderline of primer ignition depending on the ammo because the Timney sear does not hold the firing pin lug very far back, therefore it barely compresses the firing pin spring. That is partly why it is so light and why Timney only advertises them as Competition triggers.

I hope with it being sold as a kit that it performs like a glock should. Only other thing Im changing on it is the trigger. Ill admit Im kind of a trigger snob. Just hope it has the glock reliability.

There are so many guns on the market that blow Glocks out of the water, even heavily upgraded Glocks. I’d say, just don’t get a Glock at all. S&W, Walther, Sig, CZ, and pretty much every manufacturer has made great pistols and improvements to the industry… Glock hasn’t done anything other than change their grip 5 times.

I have to agree. My Glock was my first handgun 15 years ago. With everything on the market today, no way would I ever buy another one. My Gen 3 is better than most Gen 5's. That just doesn't make sense. Glock fails to improve or innovate in any way.
