haha. i could not resist. i had to polish some of the trigger parts to make it a little smoother. My wife got really mad when she saw me with the dremel and the new gun. LOL. how many of you guys are like me? you get something brand new and you HAVE to fix it! i can't help myself, why do i always have to try and improve something just for the heck of it? well the gun is fine (G19) and im looking forward to putting a whole lotta lead down range.
I always end up customizing my stuff... I usually make myself wait till I identify those one or two things that just make me crazy/really would improve it. Otherwise I'd just take the dremel to everything.
I suggest you resist that impulse - it's a gun, not a toaster. Plus, user modifications are problems if you have an incident. Can be made to look bad by attorneys or the DA. Plus, it's a Glock. They're made to shoot fine as is, and have a fine reputation for doing so. Let use do any breaking in - though they hardly need any.
My reaction - though I feel those impulses to "fix" too.
My carry Glock 19 has had quite a bit of work done to it, by me, including polishing the trigger connector, trigger bar, and striker safety. A little polishing compound does not affect the function of the gun, cannot make it go full auto, and makes it easier to shoot accurately.
guys im not worried about this thing going full auto! i polished the connector and part of the trigger bar. it's not my first glock. i have had others but sold and now im back. i will be carrying this thing too. like the guy ^^^ said it makes it smoother and is also very easy to do. i was not grinding away like maybe some think.
There is nothing wrong with doing a little fluff and buff. Its a good learning experience. I have a Spanish Firestorm 45 Gov't that I have tuned to cycle those flat birdshot shells perfectly and hold tight groups. I got the bug when I was on Kel-Tec list and learned how a little polishing can go a long way
I did my G21C with a bunch of mods. Most of the frame internals are after market and have had all kinds of work done to them. The top has a different barrel and springs and it shoots great!!! I changed the barrel out so I can shoot my own lead cast bullets that I reload myself.
Proud owner and carrier of a bone stock 3rd generation GLOCK 19. Loved this gun from the day I first fired it and haven't felt the need for any modification, not even the 25 cent trigger job.
to each his own.............i bet you would like my trigger better than your own though if you shot it
