CAL. .30 M1 2,101 Posted April 10, 2020 Hi - so I have a G26 that is a night stand gun and I had a permit to burn and was able to pick up a G19 Gen 4 - rings steel all day long at 25yrds - it does really like 147grn ammo Are there any goto replacement items on the G19 that are a must do for maximum reliability. To date I have: - Added Vickers Tactical Battlesight with Green Fiber post - Added an extended slide release - Added a Grip plug take down tool - Added a Grip force adapter Any insight is appreciated.

High Exposure 5,664 Posted April 10, 2020 The only think you HAVE to put on a new Glock is your preferred sights - which you did already. Other than that the best accessory is Training and practice, ie: trigger time. With that in mind, I recommend: 2 holsters (CCW and a Duty type) and a double mag pouch 10 training mags minimum (Keep the 3 that came with the gun for non-training purposes) 5 cases of ammo: • 4 training • 1 defensive Spare Parts: • striker assembly • extractor • recoil spring assembly • trigger spring 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High Exposure 5,664 Posted April 10, 2020 If you are outshooting the gun first replacement should be the barrel. I prefer KKM. If you’re still outshooting the gun, go trigger. That’s a personal preference - just have realistic expectations on how good a Glock trigger can really be, and choose one that down not compromise the safety of a gun. I had a Zev trigger that occasionally made by G19 go full auto - bad juju. Trigger is the very last thing I would change. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For maximum reliability, leave it 100% OEM. Change sights at will. If you really feel the need to "upgrade" the trigger, drop in a Glock OEM minus (-) connector. It comes standard in the Glock 34. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spare Parts: • striker assembly • extractor • recoil spring assembly • trigger spring Pretty much covers it. Guy on another forum put 145,000 rounds thru a Gen5 in a year. He replaced the slide stop with a Vickers Tangodown unit and it performed flawlessly after the OEM one broke after somewhere around 35,000 rounds. Other than that, they don't need much. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incredibly reliable. I hear that some people even clean them once in awhile. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EX Carnival man 223 Posted April 14, 2020 When I first got into Glocks an older gentleman wrote to me on the Glock form His suggestion was to buy A lot of spare mags,an extra recoil spring and a lot of ammo. I use that advice to this day on every gun I buy. I always buy spare mags. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a stabilizer so it has a pistol brace... no barrel in it so it's not a SBR. It's not a firearm it's an accessory so 50oz limit does not apply. The only "strike" is that it can be construed as a "barrel shroud" - but you're allowed 1.... so.. Legal. Mine's kitted out with flip up sights, thumb rests, and the actual flashlight in the unit itself. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the vikers tango down slide stop and mag release.. those are my go to for any new glock I purchase and highly recommend and along with sights thats all I really change out. However I have did recently pickup an aftermarket slide and an RMR.. pistol mounted red dot sights are definitely going to become the norm.. might as well start getting proficient on them. If you're going to make it a nightstand gun a weapon mounted light would probably be money well spent also. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd replace a few things on any Glock. I like the Caspian slides. I'd mate one with a Kart barrel. Add the appropriate recoil spring for the loads you plan to use, and a full-length guide rod I favor the Dawson Precision, Bomar-style sights. Since you are going with the Caspian slide, you may as well replace the frame with a Caspian. Replace the trigger parts, and everything else in the slide and frame at the same time. I like Wilson parts, but you could save a little with Cylinder and Slide or Brownells parts kits. Make sure they are for a 70 series. I personally prefer a beavertail grip safety, and arched mainspring housing, but go with whatever fits your hand best. At this point, you'll want to get new magazines. I use Chip McCormick mags. Put on a pair of grip panels to fit your particular taste, and head to the range. You'll be happy with the results. 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krdshrk 3,877 Posted April 27, 2020 I've handled both. Each has it's own pros and cons. Older Roni stabilizer (Gen 4 I think): MCK: The newer MCK grip section is fatter. I actually prefer the grip on the older roni - it feels more comfortable and indexes better. The MCK is fatter - doesn't really need the thumb rests, but you're indexing lower on the gun. The MCK uses a captive "bolt" system which clicks on to the Glock slide and stays inside the chassis, vs the 2-piece version on the older Roni. The slide release button is different as well. On the older Roni chassis, it's a large button that you can press downward. On the MCK you use the actual Glock's slide release. It's easier to hit on the Roni, but you can't lock the slide back manually. You be the judge on which one you should get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
