Just finished a detail strip of the Glock 19. Cleaned her all up nicely.
Installed a Glockmeister back strap channel plug I had kicking around. I also installed a 9mm Overtravel stop.
The back strap plug is not really a functional modification. It has no purpose other than to fill the hole in the back of the pistol. I like to do this modification because it gives the pistol a more filled in kind of look and I feel that it adds a bit of rigidity to the frame. There are some out there that believe that plugging this is not a good idea. I personally have plugged all my Glocks and had no issues to date (over 30000 rounds). Is it worth doing? That I would say is a personal preference. For me I think it is.
"The Backstrap Channel Insert was developed by DEEP6COMP™ with input from the Israeli Security Forces. Testing and final approval was done by the Isreali Security Forces. The Backstrap Channel Insert was designed to guide the mag into the mag well to stop the magazine from snagging on structures within the Glock. The secondary function of the insert is to stop dirt and debris from entering the backstrap channel; this stops the dirt and debris from potentially interfering with the trigger mechanism.
Fits MODELS 17,18,19,20,21, 21SF,22,23,24,25,30,31,32,34,35 - (with slight receiver modification 26,27,28,33) "
I payed about $9usd for this one. For that price I say every Glock should have one.
Here is the channel insert installed.
The "Ultimate Trigger Stop" is definitely a modification I recommend if you shoot your Glock's a lot. I find that the amount of trigger reset that you have to deal with becomes VERY little. This makes for an easier trigger pull and more consistent follow up shot. I have done this modification to all my Glock's and I find its a very nice and cost effective modification.
"Completely eliminates Glock trigger over travel (wasted movement) resulting in smoother trigger reset, faster doubles, faster splits and overall premium trigger performance. The Ultimate Trigger Stop includes a new style trigger housing with ejector, polished trigger stop and Allen Wrench for adjustments. Simply drop it in, replacing your current trigger housing. No gunsmithing is required.
Available for all Glock pistols "
I payed about $25usd for this piece. Again not overly expensive. I think its a pretty decent "bang for the buck" part.
Trigger stop installed pics.
With the pictures of the trigger the first one is at rest, the second is with all the slack taken up and the third one is fully to the rear.
All parts were purchased from
www.glockstore.com. This is where I go for a lot of the parts I need for my Glock's. Good service, decent prices and good stock.
I will post pictures of the pieces installed shortly.
