Personal opinion. Other than MAYBE staccatos, I wouldn’t trust a 2011 for concealed carry. Tolerances are way too tight. The smallest debris especially in the higher end ones can choke them up.
Video on your personal do all AR AND SBR, I think you just gave a general idea in past.
I’m a lot luckier than you when it comes to Glock stock controls. The mag releases, slide stops, and trigger (except for the G48/43x) all feel pretty good to me and my hands. The only internal parts I replaced on my G45 were the safety plunger in the slide and the trigger bar assembly. At 500 rounds, the gun started to develop this real annoying “double wall” feeling where it would feel like the trigger broke right before it really did. Diagnosing at home with an empty gun, I took the plunger and extractor off, reassembled, and the second wall feel went away during dry fire. Turns out, it was the trigger bar where it was pinned to the trigger messing up that was causing the issue. I now have a spare safety plunger for this gun. Both parts were replaced with Glock OEM parts because safeties are not to be messed around with. Gun runs great now.
Thanks!
Photonic barriers are a thing. Quality low light classes from experienced and knowledgeable instructors are a eye opener as to what works and what doesn't in real life conditions (where you'd end up actually using a WML, or handheld, for that matter).

Yeah they are very real. I am a huge fan of lowlight and teaching lowlight. There is just a ton to it. But once you see the matrix so to speak it's life changing in how you fight in the dark
ive carried g45 for few years now and its perfect, my fav handgun by far.
Good Video thanks. I definitely get a little carried away with some of the ways I outfit my pistols but that is next level, and completely logical and well reasoned. Appreciate the transparency and efforts be well fine sir. Edit: Oh as non-LEO I carry a p-01 with cajun kit, eps carry optic, using HST 124s, appendix in a Trex sidecar holster or a sig p365 no model as it built it out of separate parts, but icarus frame, spectre comp slide/barrel and 407k optic running HST 147s in a QVO rig (sometimes in a fanny pack not on a belt still in holster when it's hot in the desert). Both were vetted with hundreds of rounds and multiple sessions of hollowpoints, but not your counts more like 500 fmj and 50-75 carry.
That's great your police department allows you to carry your own firearm and set it up the way you want it. Most departments, including mine, doesn't allow you to do anything to your duty firearm or patrol rifle. I think its stupid. If it helps you shoot better and be more accurate, and its safe, it should be allowed.

First let me start off by saying..... Love the shirt! Those guys are the greatest. I get most of my patches from them..... Vet owned and operated.... forward thinking.... On to the build.... Very niiiice, well thought out. I have yet to shoot a glock with a ramjet on it. I have comped pistols but none of them are Glocks. Thanks for sharing. Just sub'd.
I had really bad luck with my kagwerks slide stop. It wouldn’t lock back on my 19 at all on any of my mags. Swapped back to OEM and had zero issues.
I went with 10mm varieties b/c large 4 legged threats are equal to or more common than the 2 legged kind where I live . I just wish we could get some of the nicer comps like the ram jet for 10mm which actually needs it.

Do you consider the Agency trigger shoe to be better than the Overwatch and if so why? I did the whole overwatch np3 and trigger shoe kit and have been impressed with it but I’ve never tried any of agencies products.
I often wonder why not go with a full size barrel if we’re just gonna put a full size light that extends out past the muzzle anyway? I have the same thing but wonder why I didn’t go with a 34 instead when I think about it.

I have a very similar pistol set up. I had a few fte's with some cheap monarch 115 last weekend which was disappointing. However I normally shoot blazer 115 and that gave me zero issues. I'm probably going to put in a polydat trigger and possibly the owp connector as well soon.
My duty gun is now a 17 (again): Nomad Defense 9F frame, Zev Citadel Slide, Radian afterburner/ramjet, Holosun 507comp, Johnny Glock Vex Trigger, Angry BearArmsBUIS. My backup gun is the same, but a 9x frame. Off duty carry is a CZ Shadow 2 Compact with SRO.
Still building mine out atm. Sig p320 base Apex forward trigger bar kit, and tlr1 so far
SLR is a great company. I buy all my mag extensions from them. I should try the magwell. Beautiful setup.
I carry a glock 32 in a workz appendix rig with xs dtx2 big dots loaded with critical duty 135g and i love it! When im in the mountains of tennessee where there are bears i run underwood extream penetrator. 357. Sig is expensive but it works well for what use it for.
Cool build out. For a future build I want a g17 grip from nomad defense with an agency or arc slide probably a RCR or rmr HD on it. A comp of some type for sure. Probably not getting that for some time I am still finishing out a build on a Walter pdp pro sd and getting a new slide for sig macro. Along with doing some work on a few cz I have so with so many projects things do tend to go slowly.
Nice breakdown.
I just got an overwatch precision mag well for a 34 gen 5 I've been tinkering with. I'm not a dude who normally goes much beyond sights and maybe a 3.5 - 4 pd connector on a glock.....I have had mixed luck over the years with triggers. Apex= good to go but didn't like the feel.....Agency syndicate= good for a while then failures to reset. Tyrant= bad from the start BUT it was an old gun with a lot of rounds and I didn't give it much love in the "trouble shooting" department. Lol. I usually like a stock trigger with a minus connector and a dot (rmr) or Ameriglo troopers or hackathorns. Anyway, I like the SLR a lot....looks cool to not that it matters. I usually stuck to Zev mag wells, but I REALLY like the O.W.P. If you ever get curious try the over watch mag well brother.......I beat on mine for around 400 rds. out back today, I'm loving it so far. Greetings from KY.
Id love to see what sworn agency would allow the leniency for their officers or deputies to carry a "custom" duty weapon...i personally have worked for 3 different agencies sworn...and NONE of them allowed us to have mods on our firearms other than night sights...and a hogue slip on.... (this was in Kentucky) boy how have times changed...ive seen as lenient as an "approved list" but never "custom"..lucky you! Stay safe brother!

Pretty common now what you're describing as is a result of the first reply which is if it ain't stock you can't have it. It's a severly outdated mentality right up there with no lights on handguns or dots on handguns or rifles. There are still some agencies but as these older chiefs either retire or get shown why the mods are important. It's changing. My agency all mods have to be done by the armorer (which is me) ensures subpar and unsafe mods aren't allowed to happen. In this world any and all things that make you better and more accurate are a welcome addition

I run a nearly identical set up. Just a stock trigger and it’s an mos with an fcd plate. P2 Slr magwel Kagwerks slide stop etc. my slide stop ate the shit out of my slide but it’s smooth now.
The only thing i did with my g17 gen5 mos was put the holosun on it and every now and then a light. But i keep it simple. I did want the comp but it's not needed really. I'ma civilian so i really don't need a lot of extras. Great video.
How many rounds have you got on the kagwerks and has it had any issues?
Glad someone else uses the 135 gr Hornady! It runs well in my pistols
I have the same rig with an SRO and different trigger work. It’s good.
Started playing with 80% builds back in lockdown and I settled with SCT lower (not 80%, Strike Ind. liteslide (no plates) holosun ACESS valcon(first red dot),Apex duty trigger, Ballistic Advantage bbl. It fits the Blackhawk T holster. Of course not all upgrades done at once so rounds still counting @1500ish
Thing is dope.
I did the same thing. Lol. The modern Rolland special
Tactical pontoon triggers are drop in with the discso.. What wasn’t mentioned is some discos allow the trigger to be pulled and the striker drop before the barrel is fully into battery. May be more of a gen 3-4 thing? I haven’t fooled with a gen 5 yet
I own a lot of Glocks. I carried a Gen2 31 for 20 years every day. I'll never daily carry one again. The grip angle actually causes compression between my little finger and wrist that, not infrequently, causes my hand to lose all sensation for a short period. I can look at the hand and see what it's holding, but I can't feel it. I can tell the index finger to squeeze, and it will, but I can't feel it.
No longer LEO so my “duty” is my concealed pistol. Currently, it’s a Glock 49. SRO on a Forward Controls plate. Trijicon suppressor sights. TRL7A light in a Tenicore holster. Everything internal is stock for now but that might change.
You should look into getting the radian compressor spring and running the 15lb spring which is what everyone recommended for that comp. Radian designed it for that comp specifically just to take the reliability even further. I have the same build but with the compressor spring in my opinion i would rather buy the spring over the comp. To me from my testing the spring made more of a difference then the comp
Good video Brother/G\

to me it has far better balance, I also have very large hands and I can swallow up the g19 grip. I always run the full size light so the length doesn't impact me when carrying. I own g17s, g34, g22 etc. I can honestly say without a doubt that the way this cycles is just better. Something else to keep in mood is less reciprocating slide mass with longer grip means flatter shooting

It’s the 17 MOS that got replaced, the 17 irons only is still being produced. I got one of the last 17 MOS’s and run it with a Holosun SCS and Night Fision Costa Ludas irons. I do like what you said about using blacked out sights to not have a second focal object. My “competition gun” is a CZ P-10F cut for my 509T and I don’t have any irons on it. I really wish I could shoot my Glocks better, I am low left with them (righty) since there are so many out there. I shoot my P-10’s, S&W 1.0 9L 2.0 5” (Apex SRT on both), Archon Type B (Gen1), STI 1911 all better than my Gen3G19 & Gen4G34.
Hello
Glock sells 24 rd mags for their double stacked 9mms for like 30 bucks, save some money on extensions. Why not go with the glock performance trigger? Its hard for me to justify 100 dollars on a flared magwell on a gun that already has a flared magwell built in, especially if i need to conceal it.
Great video
Why do people prefer the 300B bs quick release ?
Connectors do drop the trigger pull weight by the amount of pounds difference from the part it is replacing. So a factory 5lbs connector giving 6lbs pull will give 4.5lbs pull with a 3.5lbs connector.
