[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1075567, member: 684"] The only thing I've ever done to any of my Glocks is as follows: An extended mag release button, which is actually a standard factory/OEM G20/21 button - it fits perfectly and extends it just right. A factory/OEM Glock extended slide stop. This isn't really "necessary" but it [I]does[/I] dress it up a little. ;) A butt plug. Glocks just look more solid with a good butt plug. Personally, I prefer the ones made by Pearce. And finally...factory/OEM Glock [B]"+"[/B] basepads are kinda handy. I like 'em on my spare carry mags, but not in the one in the gun. Why you may ask? I dunno...just my own personal thang. I'm afraid they could be knocked off from a car door, seatbelt, chair, filing cabinet, etc if in the gun. But, I like 'em on my spare mags on the belt, because they can be firmly seated. I also don't use them for the extra round(s) they will hold, but rather, the ease of insertion. Kinda like when you download the mag by one? The [B]"+"[/B] basepads let you load them to full capacity and they seat more positively without a lot of force, which is better on the mag as well as being better on your mag catch. Beware of aftermarket [B]"+"[/B] basepads like those from Scherer and a few others...they will pop off when you are least expecting it, causing your mag to jetison it's ammo supply, leaving you basically with a single shot pistola. :homer: But the factory/OEM [B]"+"[/B] basepads are good. :respect: Other than that, I say just lots of mags and ammo. And don't worry about the stout trigger pull on that G17. In a short period of time, you'll think it's just right and the 1911's is too damned light. :yikes2: Glocks grip and trigger pull have damn near ruined my chances for any other pistol. :grumble: [/QUOTE]
