I havent updated here for awhile.

I was carrying my Shield 9mm for years, then changed to my GP100 3inch 357.....now ive gone strictly to my Glock 20 10mm.
All stock but looking at sights.

Im not carrying the G20 because I believe 10mm is superior but because I shoot it really, really well. Heres the only pic in my phone.

^^^^ Nice rig! Going to do any stippling?

As for now no.. but thats because what I really want is just way outside my price range hahaha.. but eventually I will send it somewhere and get some double undercuts and better stippling..

The sweet part is, if and when i do send it off.. i can keep the slide/barrel and toss them onto my G45 frame and im not left with no G34 (in theory I actually want to get to the range and shoot it like this to he 100% certain. But gen 5 so I don't see why it wouldn't) 20200701_132054.jpg

Looks amazing. I have the same gun but it’s stock. Isn’t that like carrying a bazooka in your pants though? And I already have one of those.

Hahaa for the most part that G34 is stock.. only changes I made was the guide rod (gen 3 to gen 5 adapter) so I can use a 13lb sprint, I took the extended slide release off for the standard one I took of my G45 frame, and added the Tau Dev Groups "Striker Control Device".... otherwise all stock.. oh Dawson sights and c&h mounting plate vs the oem mounting plates

Sweet gun and a really sweet setup. It definitely lives up to your signature line!

I used to carry a G34/35, but it had a grip reduction and grip chop that shortened it down to the point it would accept Glock 26/27 mags. I did it all myself and loved that gun. But when a buddy got his license, he really wanted it as his first gun and made me a great offer.

Did someone say grip chop

My first G19 I chopped to 26 size, I also chopped a g17 to take 19 mags. I also got replacement frames and a g45 frame so I can mix and match my guns (please ignore the trash inforce apl)

This was mine. It was my first handgun and was never a stock Glock. I built it up from parts that I slowly bought as I waited to get my license issued. The day I got it, I went to the store, picked up the frame, went home, assembled it and went back to the range to send 150 rounds through it. 20190320_222323.jpg 20190320_222340.jpg
And at peak tricked out before I sold it:

Haha, it's a helluva fun project. I considered doing it with a Polymer 80 from scratch, but after I sold that Glock, I decided that from now on I'm only ever going to own one autoloader handgun at a time and that one gun will be my EDC. It's a Walther PPS .40 now, which I like fine for the time being, but I want a pistol with a red dot and 10+1 capacity. After the panic buying subsides, I'm going to sell my Walther, get a G19 Gen 5 MOS, get a good red dot for it, upgrade the trigger, and call it a day.

Any specific reason the MOS?? And if you have to have an MOS id suggest throwing the oem mounting plates in the trash and get one from C&H Precision Weapons at a minimum, or (as i plan to do eventually) send it off to Agency Arms for their AOS milling

Interesting. I figured I'd get the MOS to have it optic ready off the shelf, but if the mounting plates suck, getting a regular G19 custom milled sounds like a "buy once, cry once deal" instead of saving a few bucks on an MOS. Looks like I need to do some more research. Thanks.

Yea the optics plates glock uses are literal trash. Over in the handgun thread we have a whole handgun red dot post going

And I wouldn't be using an MOS but thats the only way to get a Gen 5 G34

Get it milled! Way better than the MOS system. Go with a dedicated RMR pattern or the AOS. If you are 100% positive you’ll use an optic with the RMR pattern, then having it milled for that is your best option. If you’re unsure with what optic, go with the AOS. You won’t be disappointed!

My wife had some FTFs with it every once in a while. I changed to a Wolff 9 lb spring and those occasional FTFs went away.

Thanks for the advice. I’m gonna give it a good cleaning and run more ammo through it before change the spring. I was expecting a snappy recoil but it was very easy to shoot. I am pleasantly surprised by another fine Ruger firearm. Best EDC for the summer!
