reminds me of Mr. Potato Head toys
it's the only way I'd purchase a glock gun , if I could personalize it to my spec's

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.
I totally agree with you on the ghost gun thing. I understand the why but I work in LE and it feels too hinky to be associated with.

I've shot a Salient, and yes, its NICE! Super NICE! Just not worth the price point for me. (And I can't use it for a duty gun) I carry a G-21 on duty, and the G-19 for pretty much everything else. I did the trigger jobs on all my Glocks, and do think it helps. I got my stippling job & trigger guard on my G-19 done by Polymer Refined, and was super impressed with the job & turn-around time. The -19 just fits my hand better after the job.
How much more accuracy are you guys getting out of a KKM or a ZEV barrel

For me it’s the combo of barrel and optic with a better trigger. I haven’t shot any of them off a bench but at 20-25 yards free standing with out support I can easily shoot and fist size group. At 10 yards or less it’s one hole about the size of a baby fist.

Hey Dusty thank you for the quick response. and your pictures of the process...
I bet you are really pleased with the way they turned out.. Fun and rewarding to look at what you created... Well done!!!

So I picked up the base gun today and started the build. It took me about 3 hours from start to finish.
Using the RTF frame made prepping the frame for stippling easier...less to sand off.
I tried something new with these modified accelerator cuts...cutting them more vertically. Feels great in the hand.
Used a fine tip for a nice tight stipple
The before
The after
I will get it to the range tomorrow for some testing.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Dusty78, February 28, 2018 11:24 PM

Nice work. I wish I was patient enough for that kind of detail work on the stippling.
A Perpetual Disappointment...

Not sure how I'd never seen the accelerator cut mentioned before, I can see how that might be beneficial.

Serial doesn't start with LAV. Please tell me that wasn't an original RTF2.

These are off the recent run of Gen 3 non-fishgill guns. Still widely available. They are a dime a dozen (for right now.) I have 2 more on the way (19 and 17 RTF2 frame’s only.)

Did you fill the plug and do a frame reduction? It sure look flat on the back. I like it.

That looks awesome! I like the smaller details like channeling the takedown lever. Looks like the grip reduction was in the works also. Sweet!
I've never tried a Suarez trigger. Let us know what you think.

I had found a Salient frame and started from there as my budget allowed. Somehow the Salient trigger is made from pure CNC magic.

Those ZEV slides aren't really my cup o' tea but I do admire your stippling work. For your next one you should consider doing a cut-down Gen3 G34 or even a G17L! A ultra longslide G26 might be too crazy but one in a G19 size would be rather spiffy.

Years ago when the "You will buy a Glock" thread started I laughed and thought, "When hell freezes over!"
What I've seen done with Glocks in the last year or so has completely changed my way of thinking.
I know now that I WILL buy a Glock. Sigh...

While I didn’t chop it I did pick up this 17L today. I had an extra 17 frame sitting around so I stippled it. The factory frame is untouched. It has Suarez tactical trigger with the factory (-) connector and a 4lb striker spring; makes for a really nice trigger pull. The Burris FF3 is on a Strike Industries GUM mount.

I am not a Glock guy, Not much of a fan at all. I don't dog on them, just not my thing. These though, are great looking, I bet they function as good as they look. Congrats, thanks for sharing.
