PPQ Guys - What Upgrades have you done (if any)
Well my PPQ is one hell of a nice pistol and a sweet shooter - I definitely wouldn't mind getting one in the 45 someday as well. I know theres a few PPQ guys here, have you done any upgrades? Personally I don't think the gun needs much at all, the sights are very blah thought. Whats the verdict? Nice set of TFX's or Trijicon HD's and call it a day? I can't think of anything else it really needs, shoots great out of the box, phenomenal trigger, awesome grip that fits me perfect. I picked up a couple extra mags and a deluxe case from Earl's Repair Service (great parts stocking dealer) but besides sights I don't think I'll change anything else on this pistol.

Glock 19 Gen4 Guide rods; Tungsten vs Stainless vs OEM
Your 2 sentences are contradictory, are you talking about buying another aftermarket? - your first sentence was right. Stop trying to mess with the gun and just go use it. If you sell that fancy crap you'll have another 200 rounds of ammo. New RSA's from Glock are a whopping $12 - buy a spare and after a few thousand rounds swap it out, if you feel the original is "worn out". Have you shot your G19 yet? Its probably one of the least recoil, muzzle flip/barrel rise 9mm handguns on the market - high bore axis on Glocks helps a ton but its just a well balanced gun in general. Its a real smooth yet soft shooter. Maybe I could understand it on the Gen 3 and older models - but honestly the Gen 4's do not need them in the least. If you are a competition shooter and you feel you "need" one of these in a Gen4, you actually have to go back to the single spring design from the older models. In regards to anything being different on the Blue Labels, the answer is no. My Blue Label G26 looks the same as the retail White Label version. Lastly, not sure when your G19 was made - but you can call Glock and ask, based on your serial number, you may get a new RSA since the early Gen 4's had too strong of a spring I think and didn't cycle lighter ammo as well. Here is a link - based on the Glock Store picture, the G19 spring is marked "0 4 3" now - https://us.glock.com/customer-service/recoil-spring-exchange

The Gen4 polymer dual recoil spring system is what you need. Should last many thousands of rounds. And very cheap to replace if needed (as are most Glock parts which I'm sure you are finding out) Toss that ridiculous tungsten piece and buy ammo.

Mossberg 930 vs Stoger M3000
I think what I'm gathering is most semi auto shotguns have a bit of a break in after initial cleaning. Would love a Beretta 1301 Tactical but just having trouble finding the coin for one now

Mossberg 930 vs Stoger M3000
So I looked up the M3K today and the 930 and noted this thread and the differences between both - I'm not looking to do 3-gun or hunting with it, would like a shorter barrel if possible, target shooting and home defense - Can you use a shorter barrel with the M3K and which one? I like that the 930 has the cool looking "breacher" barrel on their tactical models, price is pretty much in line - probably with a few of the aftermarket upgrades it would be good for my needs, no? I'll do more research in the meantime. The M3K does look pretty nice -

Are you fucking kidding me? I just checked in on FB at Monmouth Arms on Saturday and put up an American Flag and the revolver icon that they had - I was actually looking for a rifle or shotgun but they were not to be found. To be honest I was surprised they had a revolver. Looks like I wasn't surprised for long.

One (more) permit left, Striker/Polymer and under $700, What to buy....
^Whoops I think that was a typo - I meant index finger - no way my thumb can reach the paddle (nor do I think you are supposed to do it with your thumb anyway)

I just got a PPQ M2 in 9mm - I can't wait to shoot it, the 45 has to be such a beast!

Good mid-grade G19 Holster for CC in the free USA
Any suggestions for something mid-grade (Not looking to spend more than 60-70$, if that) that i can use for CC if/when i get Non resident permits? My sister lives in Philly so i would LIKE to get my NR, as well as for when i visit in general (and the next time i go to Michigan, id like to be able to carry). You better watch your ass in a city of the first class aka Philly when in PA - are the non res permits even honored there? I know FL and UT aren't, and the NH thing just happened, to be honest I'd use the NH permit everywhere but Philly if I was in PA - ^Came in to post this - or Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0

New owner of a Remington 870 tactical
If you want to go affordable just add a Hogue forend and stock kit - I put one on my Mossberg 500 (12" LOP so nice and tight to the body) and love it. Although I love those Knoxx stocks

Think i may end up buying a G19?
Not a bad deal at all! Good luck with it!

Tons of amazing striker fired guns out there now - you mentioned and held several of them - I have 3 hammer fired (1911, Beretta .22, and .357 wheelgun) and 2 strikers and like them both - Glock triggers are so smooth now with the Gen 4, and the Walther's is so light, the Sig and HK striker triggers are so crisp - they really all are great -

Cabela's has no guns in their mail catalogs?
^Which I love x1000 - If I don't get a rifle soon, I will in Sept when I go down to NC, on the way back home stop in DE store I'm sure around mid-end September it will be rifle buying frenzy as the campaign trail heats up

^^ If they made them in Gen4 configuration (I appreciate ambi mag release as a southpaw), I would consider a Glock 30S or even a single stack G36 - The G30 Gen4 is pretty much a heavy bear as well, and being a fatter .45, doesn't fit as well in my hands - Glock 9 mm's, (I have a G26 now, but also the 19, 17, 43) fit my hands perfect, I don't have large hands. The VP9 no question is a great pistol, I just really enjoyed the feel of the PPQ in the hand - I still would have no qualms about purchasing a VP9 someday, just would take some getting used to flipping the mag release with my middle finger.

Utah or Florida CCW - How quick do they get issued after receipt?
I probably should send it in - however we are moving to a free state (NC most likely) within the next year - and the non-resident NH permits aren't honored there - I was hoping to have a permit for my trip to NC in Sept/Oct - the FL or the UT ones are honored there - but you're right, I should send it in just to get PA and the other states in the meantime - Obviously when I move I will add a resident NC permit -

Utah or Florida CCW - How quick do they get issued after receipt?
^^Nice! Yeah I decided to take NRA class at GFH and do the FL CCW at same time - After that gets issued I'll apply for NH non-res as well
