| Rail-less and Tail-less |
So it’s that time again. I recently started ordering up the parts. So far... Zev Hex slide in Black DLC Agency Arms TiN Barrel non-threaded Glock 19 RTF frame (yes it will be stippled) Glock oem (-) connector Suarez flat trigger All other frame parts are stock Glock Stock Glock slide guts (will be doing the Glock night sight free parts trick) Ameriglo Suppressor night sights Agency Arms magwell Trijicon RMR RM06  I also ordered a new Glock 17L that will be getting some work too. Mostly trigger and will have the slide machined for a Burris FF3 which I already ordered. I really enjoy building these things...   This message has been edited.

Nice. To me, the Glock and 1911 are the ar-15 of the pistol world. There are many options for them. | |||

I'm planning on going down this road also in the next year or so. Really, just looking to run something in GSSF unlimited, but might as well have fun with it also. Probably get a Gen3 17 cheap (if I'm able to find one....saw some PD trade ins on Aimsurplus.com, but I'm not ready to buy yet) and build from there. Also trying to decide between the Trijicon RMR or Leopold Deltapoint. | |||

Does the Glock slide parts trick work with a aftermarket slide or are you sending in a factory slide for night sights? | |||

If I were doing this, I might do the Polymer 80 compact frame. If your building, just do some more build work. Also, I don't know if I'd do all stock Glock slide guts. I think I'd at least look for a machined billet striker. | |||

No i’ll be sending in a stock stripped 19 slide. The RTF frame is actually part of a Gen 3 19 I ordered. Will use that frame on the build and orders a second gen 3 stripped frame for $75 that will go back on the plain Jane 19. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

I thought about the polymer 80 build and might still use one of their serialized frames when they become available in the future but I honestly want nothing to do with the whole ghost gun thing. The only problems I have had with all my builds are with aftermarket guts. Double taps, triggers not resetting, etc... I find a lot of the aftermarket parts are two polished and can cause these issues. With a (-) connector and a flat faced trigger using a 4lb striker spring I can get a trigger that’s perfect for me and runs completely reliable. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

Built one a while back. Started with an overstippled Gen2. I was able to pull it off without spending too much. I never really set out to a particular brand or version of parts to work with, heck I had a box of parts already. The connectors look all the same in the box, but they can make a huge difference when paired with an adjustable trigger. Consider trying different parts if you can before settling for one. The shortest reset was a priority as well as smooth pull and a crisp break. Now the reset is short enough where it wouldn't reset with the other four connectors I had. Prime candidate for the 357 Sig carbine kit... | |||

You got some pretty cool Glocks | |||

| Rail-less and Tail-less |
I have tried a few: Zev, Agency, Suarez, etc... so far my setup has worked best for me. I’ve shot factory Zev, Agency, and Salient guns and had light primer strikes with all of them. Custom glocks are like a recipe to me...a pinch of this and a dab of that until you get something working well lol. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

Dusty do you do the stippling yourself? | |||
|
| Rail-less and Tail-less |
Yes...I’m a-stipplin’ fool. I enjoy doing it. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

| Go ahead punk, make my day |
Nice. I haven't gotten into uber custom Glocks, pretty much everything I do is OEM (-), smooth OEM Trigger, OEM extended slide stop/release, etc. | |||
|
One day at a time |
Dusty, Did you use the heat gun method to flatten out the back of the grips prior to stippling? These look really well done... I'm about to take the plunge and do my 3rd gen 19... Thanks. | |||

Can someone explain the night sight parts trick? Thanks. | |||
|
| Rail-less and Tail-less |
Actually no. I dremmel off the checkering and then stipple. After sanding off material the hump is still there just less noticeable. This is a 17 I did previously.    This message has been edited.

Pay Glock $67 for a set of factory night sights. Send the slide stripped. Get it back in a week or two with all new internals and a set of fresh night sights. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

Normally, I absolutely hate stippling because most people butcher it but these look amazing. Great job. | |||
