Alright but then what.
What do I do with it?
Grip tape, stipple job, cancer sights, new trigger?
The more responsible ones will say to buy ammo and practice but we all know why we really buy guns.
>Just get a Glock
Benjamin Wood
Jaxon Lopez
if you have to ask what to do with a new gun just kill yourself
Connor Hill
Just sights and a holster
Matthew Hernandez
>he bought into the glock meme
dude glocks are literally mediocrity. middle of the road. nothing remarkable anymore because everyone else caught up and superseded them while they just kept making leg destroying grenades.
shoot the walther and you wont want the glock anymore
Jacob Garcia
Why do people say sights? They're fine for me. Maybe a bit unconventional but its not like they're terrible.
Isaac Cox
Because Richard Ramirez, the Zodiac Killer, and Bigfeet. Also, those fuzzy people things kidnapping or killing people in weird ways that Paulides talks about.
Thomas Reyes
Yeah.
Nolan King
Steyr, too. Everyone forgets about the Steyr. Better trigger than the Glock in every way except slightly worse reset, but still good.
Gabriel Rivera
They're pretty shitty, and they tend to wear down if you actually practice drawing a lot. You can get glocks from the factory with trijicons tho so it's a moot point now.
Landon Wilson
I can see people replacing them for preference, and because they're plastic. But totally bashing them is unjustified in my opinion.
Brody Clark
Actually that's the reason why I wanted to get one, yes they are bland but when you are inexperienced thats a good thing.
With glock being so popular having alot of aftermarket/used parts will allow me to try to figure out what I enjoy most.
Jaxon Miller
This is what you do
>avoid Gen 4’s and get a Gen 5
>throw away garbage OEM sights
>buy Defoor Ameriglo sights for $40
>get white nail polish, put on front sight let it dry
>finish off with bright orange nail polish and now have effective sights
>spend rest of money on a good holster like a Dark Star Orion, a training class and ammo
Gen 5 Glock triggers are actually pretty good. You can also apply this same post but supplement a Gen 5 Glock for a M&P 2.0.
Justin Baker
spoiler alert
gaston glock knows better than you
don't fuck with it
Daniel Young
The sights are a shit fuck plastic. I knocked my G26 off of the night side table, it landed on the front sight and dented it so much that it fucked up my sight alignment.
Brayden Flores
Also to add, if you line the sights up properly on a Glock, like you would with any pistol, the front sight runs higher. You need to dip the front sight down more.
Henry Rodriguez
>With glock being so popular having alot of aftermarket/used parts will allow me to try to figure out what I enjoy most.
Glock aftermarket is a double edged sword. Yes, there are aftermarket parts that are legitimately good and useful
>plethora of different sights
>various slide milling services for red dots like the Agency AOS that are exclusive for Glocks
>different triggers like the NY1, Overwatch
>Gadget SCD (this is the sole reason why I like Glocks)
>various training aids like SIRT and UTM
Then there’s the dumb shit
>sights like pic
>non OEM components that undermine reliability and safety
>folding Glocks

Glocks are very abundant, just like idiots who want a Glock but want a 1911 trigger. That’s when shit starts to go down hill real fast. Glocks may have a lot of aftermarket but as someone who carries a modified gun, it has near stock internals with OEM only components.
The sights point you to where the bullets will go. If they fall off, get bent or break, that is a serious liability issue. I said this in another post but Defoor Ameriglos are affordable as fuck and offer robustness along with being able to be used both in precision and speed.
Nicholas Murphy
trigger and tape here, the sights still suck but then they were designed as a close combat gun, on man sized target, of last resort, not a target gun. I've owned mine since 1990(!) no malfunctions to date
Tyler Wright
>but then they were designed as a close combat gun, on man sized target, of last resort, not a target gun.
...you still need to fucking aim at 5,7 and 15 yards. You know, the typical engagement distances for a gunfight in the US? I can easily tell you’re a boomer who has never been near the realm of semi competent shooting.
Sebastian Ramirez
>Also to add, if you line the sights up properly on a Glock, like you would with any pistol, the front sight runs higher. You need to dip the front sight down more.
that doesnt make sense
if you line the sights up properly the sights should be the same height.
the sights being misaligned is 100% user error. idiots think ball in cup means they are using the sights correctly. they arent. ball and cup is for quick acquisition pointshooting type shit. where you are close enough for that low/high shit to not matter because your targets like 2feet away from you. if you have time you ignore ball in cup and use sights like every other pistol.
ball in cup when done correctly blocks out the bottom third of the ball.
what you get is idiots wanting to see the complete circle in the cup. this is why people hate stock glock sights
what people dont understand is realistically if you have time to aim you dont aim with ball and cup. you aim a glock like a normal pistol.
Jonathan Roberts
Imagine paying comparatively more for a gun that, at its core, is not as pleasant to shoot for multiple reasons, and then pouring more money into it to make it so that it's ~almost~ as nice to shoot as other better or equally priced guns.
Glucks are all just coping.
Ayden Watson
>I can easily tell you’re a boomer who has never been near the realm of semi competent shooting.
Yep, your 100% right
Aaron Roberts
one of the only guns that's widely accepted to be trusted with your life out of the box.
James Evans
it's the apple of guns
Angel Cox
Well yeah, if you knock Walther, CZ, Sig, and most M&Ps off the list.
Jaxon Reed
Painting the front sight sounds like a good idea, is it still better then let's say a fiber optic front sight?
Jacob Gray
Wow, 4 rounds touching! Could be anything at any distance buddy. Not impressive in the slightest at 7 or 10 yards.
Jason Parker
Don’t fucking stipple it. That is the dumbest shit ever.
Parker Cook
>Painting the front sight sounds like a good idea, is it still better then let's say a fiber optic front sight?
It’s all about how your eyes work. Some people prefer fiber optics, others prefer painted sights like the various Ameriglos and Trijicon HD. You should experiment with both painted orange sights and fiber optics.
Here’s an article on them. I bought my nail polish at Walmart and it works very well. Pic related is my current setup.
pistol-training.com
A good video from Mike Pannone about fiber optics
youtu.be
Either way, either of the two options will be miles better than shitty sorry ass white 3 dot sights or plastic Glock sights
Henry Wright
the true poorfag route is to just install the rear glock sight backwards
Joseph Carter
Noted.
I do suppose that glocks stock saftey leaves something to be desired, but all the more reasons to be more cautious.
Tyler Robinson
Looks better then I expected, will be worth giving it a shot.
Asher Wright
Get a holster that won't manipulate the trigger.
Get a pair of night sights instead of steel/ white U-dot sights.
Then get a up to spec aluminum trigger group.
You'll be fine with these but god forbid you unironically buy ZEV Jew shit. Don't buy those ever.
If you can't afford the rmr cut for your Glock reflex sight, buy a new Glock backplate with the picatinny rails that also fits on the rear sights.
Elijah Harris
Crowder is that you?
