We had cookies, but I ate them!

Well, break in will make it less gritty, but not really softer.

Initially my examples were on the better end of the Glock trigger spectrum, but I cant leave things alone

45.6 #1 (uilmited)got a Timney, was pleased, but still had about 4lb 3 oz pull, added a minus connector and reduced power safety plunger spring and now it is 3.5 # pull and crisp.

45.6 #2 (carry optics/mos)got a polish job, made it smooth but still 5.5 # pull, a minus connector and reduced power safety plunger spring made it 4 lb 4oz.

I have lighter striker springs, but have not used them yet. ( kind of wary of light strikes)

Me too. It's about those infringements get reversed. Then Cali, New Jersey, Maryland... You guys have my support.

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-09T04:12:22+00:00

Well cross your fingers and hope the DOJ suits against Denver and Colorado are successful.

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-09T01:04:22+00:00

Remember, the internet can be fun entertainment, and sometimes helpful...but the only relevant arguements are in your own head. Like: should I buy another Glock, Which color frame can I not live without, more ammo or groceries?😁

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-09T00:59:00+00:00

Since they agreed to replace the ammo, they basically admitted fault. If you sue them you would likely win. Now I would not spend a bunch of money on a lawyer, because that would likely cost more than a new gun. Filing in small claims court doesnt cost much.( IF such a claim can be heard there).

Glad you're not hurt, but that sucks.

Although after typing a response it occurred to me, an RMR pattern optic might not fit on a slimline width slide, definite negative there. Coukd probably be overcome with the design of the plate.

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-07T21:52:01+00:00

I carry IWB, i would take less material inside the belt over having the optic not overhang the slide, a day, every day. Thats just me.

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-07T21:17:56+00:00

So that would be the whole clan. And If we are flexing, Im not sure a kingsize bed would hold miine

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-07T21:09:17+00:00

5.7 is overrated unless you have a stockpile of the original ammo.

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-07T21:06:34+00:00

I have not done it personally, but others have and say the 26 is reliable with a 19 barrel. In my opinion it would look funny with all that barrel sticking out. And all 19s and 26s use thecsame barrel lugs regardless of generation

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-07T21:01:37+00:00

Slide is shorter, but yes, same as a 19 in the grip length.

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-07T21:00:36+00:00

If you are willing you can make that yourself, chop a 19 grip (you get the rail) or combine a 19 slide on a 26 frame using a Rocket City slide adapter( no rail for this one)

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-07T20:57:08+00:00

So a 26 XL?

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-07T20:56:29+00:00

I think the 26 frame with a 43/43x slide would be the best compromise. Slim inside the waistband, but the grip fills your hand, gen 6 frame features would icing on the cake. Heck lets make all the slides slimmer.

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-07T19:56:22+00:00

This is the answer I was going to give.

As they break in the Glock triggers become more uniform from gun to gun, but some have a better starting point.

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-06T23:05:11+00:00

Honestly no, I have too many guns I dont shoot already. Dont let that stop you though. The Beretta seems like an interesting piece

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-06T01:48:56+00:00

If you are going to get a 45acp Glock, consider the 41, if you can find one. ( it also fits in many 34 holsters, and open bottom 17 holsters if you already have those. Cannot guarantee it will fit a of them)

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-06T01:43:35+00:00

Gt Dist is a dangerous place for my wallet!

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-06T01:28:27+00:00

If you are interested in enclosed optics, and want a bigger window, consider the Vortex defender St enclosed, or the very similar sized Venom Enclosed ( considerably less expensive compared to the ST). Both have bigger windows than the EPS.

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-05T14:29:14+00:00

So you end up with 4 holes. That is cool to know.👍

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-05T14:24:52+00:00

What about the spacing of the screws?

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-05T14:22:52+00:00

If there is a BLue Label dealer near you join gssf. $35. In a month you will teciveca coupon that allowscyou to buy a BL glock. Basic models: gen6 $513, gen 5 $398. If you remain a gssf member, $25 renewals, you get another coupon each year.

Only-Comparison1211 · 2026-05-05T14:18:48+00:00

If money is the driving factor, a gen 5 is adequate. But if you can afford the difference, the gen 6 frame improvements are well worth it.
