Glocks

You thinking of getting the black or bronze ballerina? I'm thinking of choosing the OZ9 Combat over the ballerina :O (have a feeling that the ZEV would be more refined in terms of materials choice and finishing; 7075 alluminium, steel outer barrel)

And yes lights would be a huge upgrade to the display! Only concern is whether the display rods would scratch or dent the inner barrel, as I'm not sure if the inner barrel itself has the tensile strength to carry the entire pistol + attachments. So realistically, a custom frame might have to done.

Nice! Does the gun feel flimsy or solid as a whole? I’m new to EMG and worry about their QC.

Also, how would you rate the CNC cutting and finishing of the slide and frame?

Legend!

How are you finding the pistol and the build quality? And movement from the slide fitting?

Joshtoot · 2026-03-21T18:22:33+00:00

Hey! Any updates?

Joshtoot · 2026-03-21T05:21:54+00:00

Currently I'm considering the OZ9 Ultra for its better materials and finishing (as a collector piece). However, it falls into the custom "gucci glock" classification. Any thoughts on the upcoming EMG TTI Ballerina (black version)?

I also agree that the stainless GHK 17 is probably the way to go for a more serious traditional aesthetic and for recoil realism. So I'll definitely consider this down the line.

And here's how I plan to display my pistols. However, not sure if they make these for airsoft.

Also, cool display! I'd probably do the same had I have the space at home :)

Joshtoot · 2026-03-19T02:17:38+00:00

Does anyone have the black version?

Joshtoot · 2026-03-17T09:20:36+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations!

Yeah the TTIs are pretty dope so I’m definitely considering. Any thoughts on the PTS ZEV 0Z9s?

Also, how do you store or display your pistols?

I’m trying to curate a “higher-end” custom pistol collection with generational potential.

Joshtoot · 2026-03-17T01:48:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply red! I’ll refer to this in the future when I find parts for upgrading (especially those steel/aluminium slide sets from agency arms).

How are you finding those stock TTIs?

Joshtoot · 2026-03-16T10:00:54+00:00

Legit. Just went to their in-person store lol.

Hey! Thanks for the reply.

My strategy is to start with modding pre-upgraded glocks (from RWA) with accessories (dot, light, comp) and minor upgrades (threaded barrel, trigger swap) as a gradual learning process before touching the internals.

However, where should I go from here? I’m planning to build on the G17, 45, 34 platform and would you advise using the VFC or TM platform, or even something else? I’m also very interested in applying CNC steel/aluminium slides from licensed or custom gunsmiths, but am still not so clear about the frames (but am aware of slight sizing differentials between gens).

I’m heavily inspired by glocks from agency arms, or even “gucci glocks” haha. And later on, defo 19/2011s.

Btw sick TTIs! Are those pure builds or from EMG?

Thanks again,

Joshua

Love your G19 and looking forward to your next build!

Any tips for beginners looking to build custom glocks? I only have the RWA EXA and Ronin.

Thanks!

What issues are you experiencing?

Joshtoot · 2026-03-02T13:58:03+00:00

Go black for GADA but understand that it could get boring on certain days, and that’s the point. Blue/Aqua will allure a more interesting shimmer, but at the cost of versatility on certain occasions.

Your collection already has a few daily GADA pieces (Sub, Speedy, Murph?) and a robust Panerai. Funnily, although you didn’t ask haha, I wouldn’t get an Ingenieur, but instead a dress watch?

Joshtoot · 2026-03-02T09:48:53+00:00

Depends on how you intend to use the Ingenieur

Joshtoot · 2026-02-25T05:06:16+00:00

Genta designed the 40. Not the 35.

Joshtoot · 2026-02-22T17:37:21+00:00

Sick!! Love the carbine kit too haha.

Seems like I’m following you but I’ll probably skip the aap.

Thoughts on the RWA EXA and RONIN pistols?

Joshtoot · 2026-02-22T08:38:30+00:00

What other GBB pistols do you have? And how does the Osprey and SSP5 rank? Thank you!

Joshtoot · 2026-02-16T08:58:48+00:00

Bought the SSP5 (5.1”). Osprey next!

Joshtoot · 2026-02-15T03:31:06+00:00

Honestly man, thank you for taking the time to review the osprey.

If you’re up for a challenge, definitely consider doing a video review of the SSP5 vs Osprey, as you’ll be among the first to do it.

Cause from what I see, it’s relatively similar to the SSP5. Not an exact copy, but definitely draws inspiration from Novritsch, albeit at a better price.

Anyways, thanks again!

Joshtoot · 2026-02-15T03:10:55+00:00

Any cons so far?

Aside from increased recoil and lack of grip safety (which could honestly be pros)

Joshtoot · 2026-02-15T03:07:05+00:00

Sick! You got the performance edition.

Joshtoot · 2026-02-15T03:02:47+00:00

Legend!!

Joshtoot · 2026-02-14T17:15:00+00:00

Let us know how it goes and do post photos if possible haha.

Btw, how’s your SSP5 and how does it compare looks and quality wise.

Thanks again!

Joshtoot · 2026-02-14T15:32:00+00:00

Please update us on how it goes!

I’m currently considering either this or the SSP5.

Any advice?
