Can We talk straight? When it comes to Glock
pistols there is a lot of Bull capital S with a
HIT in the aftermarket
which is advertised to make you think the accessories are going to
make
your Glock better, or even worse, make you a better shooter. I know
you can't wait to
soup-up that brand new Glock but the truth is:
Your Glock is the best it can be right out of
the box. Save your
money and quit filling-up that hell-box in your closet with crap
designed
to appeal and not function. I know from experience
because my hell-box contains a lot of
experiments I thought were going
to make me a better shooter. The only thing that's going
to make
you a better shooter is shooting, period, dot, end-of-line.
That said, there are a few accessories which really do
add to your comfort. I'm patient, so I'll wait while you try out
those gotta-have rubber grips only to find they grab your clothing when
you draw and leave you with blisters after 4 hours on the range.
When you're done, try my AGRIPS and find the non-slip comfort you've
been looking for while you become a true believer. If you are
bothered by your dangling little finger while shooting your Baby Glock
try the SCHERER FINGER GRIPS - they are tried, tested and really do
work.
Since we're in the no-BS zone let's talk about
night sights. Night sights allow the sights to be seen in low or
dim light - they are not a substitute for a flashlight in no-light
conditions. Night sights are valuable to the CCW because they
allow you to PLACE a shot in LOW or DIM light, God-forbid if you ever
have to. I hope you never have to, but if you do you are going to
have to acquire the sight picture very, very quickly, or you are going
to die very, very quickly. Get American made
TRIJICON (Wixom, MI) nights sights if you are serious
about conceal carry, that is, you carry all the time.
If you need to replace a worn or broken (unusual)
part on your Glock then buy original Glock factory parts. Glock
parts were made to function with the Glock design. Glock springs
were made to deliver the proper resistance or absorb the weight of the
slide during recoil. If there were better materials then Glock
would be using them in their pistols.
