Bad Glock Mods

[Joe Williams]

I actually like the camo one above. The grip chop and texturing (regardless of who did it), not so much. Not a "bad" mod per se (most chop jobs are functional and well excecuted, if ugly), but not something I'd have done.

I like the camo Glock, also. For some reason, that and Realtree pattern in the OP actually make it an attractive gun. Not sure how it would look on a 1911 or revolver, though.

Oh crap, that's a Hi Point!

They are so ugly.

This, although I can see it being useful at the range its still a bad idea in my mind.

Wonder if that would be useful for folks who have trouble working a slide? Old folks, arthritic folks, etc.

I didn't even know that thing existed.

Might be. I believe the original intent was for Open-class competition guns where optics/mounts interfered with grasping the slide in the normal manner.

Actually in that application (select-fire Glock 18) the Glock Stock makes perfect sense. I don't like that particular stock design, though (Steyr, of all companies, makes the best one by far) and I don't like that people buy them and put them on their semi-autos in violation of the NFA.

Very cool video but that was not a Glock18. It a 19 with a drop-in fun switch. Shooter, correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think 18's where not made in OD.

Post some pics of bad Glock mods:

So...I'm far from a "Glock" person, but if I ever owned one...I kind of like this! Does that make me nuts?

I polished the stock barrel of my g23. It looked like a professional finish and I liked it at first, but quickly grew to hate it.

Trucker Glock... WHO WANTS IT!

REPPED! For the Bob and Tom love......or at least would be but I gotta spread the love first!

camo glock

That real tree camo glock is friggen sweet.

I would actually like to find someone to do that for me.

Not a mod per se but the Kriss hi cap .45 mag. I bought one just to test it out. Yeah, it was made for their carbine but someone has to test it out.

Total waste of time for the handgun application. Overall weight is huge. As a friend who is professional armorer pointed out way too much weight to hang on the Glock mag catch. Design is not reliable with all makes of G21 mags, at least not in my house.

Great conversation piece and paper weight. I will sell it after the next hi cap mag ban.

Mark, can you show the Steyr stock you are talking about. Not sure I have seen that one.

EDIT: Skip it, I found it. Yeah that has always looked like the best one but I have never handled it. I have always felt a stock, with G17, 22.lr upper, cans for each caliber and a legal SBR tax would make for a great kit in a Pelican case. I may do this some day. I have "preordered" a Tac Solutions G17 upper through a friend. We will see if I get it in 2010.

You don't have to mod a hi-point to make it hideous.

 

[gunrunner0]

Not bad mods, just bad finishes; all those guns would still run well. I don't count the Birdman sights because they are obviously a fabrication.

You wanna talk REAL "bad mods"?

• Clipdraw
• Ghost Block
• Handcuff key backplate lock thing
• Titanium firing pin
• Glock Stock
• Mako attachment to hang a Glock off your AR railed handguard

Curiosity got the best of me I had to google the Mako AR/Glock attachment, it is quite possibly the dumbest weapon modification I've ever seen. In fact it would appear that Mako makes a host of dumb accessories for alot of weapons.

Very, very true!
