@Zeke, @carl_g, @124gr9mm, @Lakota , @Bully & @Rob0115:
Ok guys, I finally received all of the parts for and have completed the assembly of my "Frankenstein Glock".
As I indicated in an earlier post in this thread, I had decided to take my very first handgun, a factory stock Glock 17, Gen4, 9mm and perform a number of modifications. I substituted a number of major and minor OEM Glock parts for upgraded after-market parts, as well as added a couple of major accessories. The trickiest part was finding the RMR adapter plate that is the correct size and configuration to fit on the ZEV slide, since it is different from the Glock RMR milled indentation. This exercise was primarily to see if all of these modifications and additions actually improves the feel, usefulness and most importantly, the accuracy of this handgun, as well as secondarily the shooting experience on the range and possibly even the so-called aesthetics of this handgun. I plan to put several hundred rounds through it over the next several weeks to zero in the red dot sight in correlation to the elevated Trijicon Suppressor Night Sights, as well as to see if anything else needs tweaking. Again, here is a list of the parts and accessories that I substituted or added:
ZEV Technologies Z17 Citadel Stripped Slide w/RMR Plate, Black
ZEV PKUPPER9 9mm Stainless Steel Parts Kit for ZEV Slide
Aimpoint ACRO P-1 Red Dot Sight
Trijicon RMR to Aimpoint Acro Red Dot Sight Mount Adapter Plate
Trijicon Suppressor Night Sight Set - White Front/Black Rear
SureFire X300 Ultra 1000 Lumens Ultra Weapon Light in Black
Wilson Combat Stainless Steel Match Barrel
ZEV Technologies PRO Flat Face Glock Ultimate Trigger Kit
Tungsten Guide Rod & Spring
Extended Aluminum Magazine Catch
Zev Technologies Titanium Extended Slide Lock Lever
Stainless Steel Pin Kit (4) with Titanium Gold Finish
Magpul GL Enhanced Magwell
Beaver Tail Backstrap Kit
Chambermax TA-1 Charging Handle
Since you asked for them, I am including a number of photos of the resulting build. The AimPoint ACRO Red Dot sight is big... really big! It looks like a bread box, (yeah, I am that old....), on top of a brick (Glock). I do not think anyone would call it aesthetically attractive.... as if a Glock can ever be considered truly attractive, but what the heck. This has been an exercise in experimentation of sequential improvements in two phases, mostly functional in nature.
Let me know what you think.... Thanks
