Well the day I thought would never come did indeed happen today. After 6.5 years of avoiding this thread (1.5 of that time while living on Glock Ave in Gillette, WY) I purchased my first Glock today. Gen 4 G19 should be here in a few days. I didn't really need it but with the impending election and the fact that I've owned several G18 mags since the 2012 election I thought it was high time.

It may end up sitting in the safe most of the time as I'm still not a fan of the grip angle, but I did indeed buy one.

Give in and go for it. I have a hunch you'll want a 10mm or a 357 Sig next.

I guess I got carried away a bit much once I converted my G41 MOS to .38 Super. Big Grin

Well I did it again.. I bought my first glock last December (Glock 43) and that planted a seed. I shoot it so well that it finally made me give in again. I bought a Gen 4 Glock 17. I was torn between the 17 and the 19 so I went with the 17 since I had a concealed carry glock already. I am excited to get to the range this week to see how it shoots.

I don't think this will be my last glock purchase, I feel the need to go and pick up the glock 19 that I left at the store... haha

Are any of you guys running a modded Glock with one of the milled slides like I see all over the Instagram firearm pages?

I don't see any benefit to these mods, but they look cool. I have to wonder, though, if all these slide cuts affect dwell time or necessitate a lighter recoil spring, and all these fancy gold colored barrels probably look like crap after a thousand rounds or so.

I found this place called Jager Works or something like that, pops up often on pictures I see. I emailed them regarding these possible issues, but I haven't heard back (granted, I emailed right before the weekend)

Are people running these custom Glocks hard, or are they for Instagram posing and not much else?

I remember once reading a thread on another forum where several people ran these expensive trigger kits, aftermarket plungers, strikers, etc. and custom barrels, only to fiddle around to get reliability close to stock, and accuracy roughly the same as stock. I've always felt that the stock Glock trigger's only drawback is the lack of operator training, and that it's absolutely excellent for both training/defensive use and casual precision shooting (for fun, not competition).

No desire to swap OEM internals, but those milled slides do look cool.

In my research i do think you can do too much, and when it comes to slide modification, you can lighten the slide to the point you need to play around with springs etc...

Jagerwerks does awesome and very clean work and i am very happy with the end result, i did not go too extreme and just did what i felt made the gun more functional. Weight wise i would guess it's not far off from stock with what was removed and what the RMR adds.

Hi. I'm Lee and I was weak. A new Gen 3 G19 followed me home a few minutes ago. I'm selling the G26 though so I'm cool right? Smile

So what your saying is you like buying G26s soooo much that you are getting rid of one to have the joy all over in the future? Wink

Hmm...a MOS variant shouldn't be too far behind, I would guess.

It's a .40, but best $250 I ever spent for a brand new/used Glock. Traded a well used M&P Bodyguard for it. Vintage 2009.
