Possible Glock upgrades

[lovemachine]

I see many take that "upgrade"... then upgrade it with Apex parts... to get a glock like trigger.

Didn't you do the same?

Are you still happy you made the switch?

Thanks for the information everyone!

As I stated, I have the G19c. I knew I wanted the G19 but the C model was the only one available in my area at the time. Does the compensator make much of a difference?

You can buy a non compensated barrel. THAT would honestly be my first upgrade.

As stated, you can replace the barrel with a non-comp'd one for about $100. The compensated barrel causes a nasty flash in low light conditions and will foul up the front sight quickly. The idea is to redirect gasses and reduce muzzle climb, but personally I'm not a fan, especially for carry guns.

I'd say practice is the main thing, Glock's rule. There's nothing wrong with the competitors, my wife loves her stock M&P 9 full size. I don't hate it but I prefer my Glock's. I change the sights on my Glock's but that's it, besides stocking up on mags and ammo.

You really can't buy any upgrades that will make you a better shooter, and any quality off-the-shelf pistol really doesn't need any upgrades to perform well. Use your time and money to get ammo, range time, training, and maybe night sights, if you like that sort of thing.

The only physical "upgrade" a Glock needs is steel night sights IMO. I prefer Trijicon's. Then I give it the froglube treatment, add ammo and carry it.

I have a couple of compensated Glocks and really like them.. Where are you located?

I am located in the southern tip - Evansville.

Does anyone know of a good online resource for ordering ammo? It seems every store around and Cabela's site are all out.

Specifically looking for 9mm obviously.

(Or .308 if that is available too.)

Lone wolf has sweet barrels and accessories. When my 30 comes in I'm getting a ported barrel from them. Just google lone wolf barrels for site

I found the site. Just a curious question, the "compensator" in my g19c is just a ported barrel, right?
