    I took a pretty minimalist approach to upgrading my gen 4 G19. Ghost Ultimate 3.5 connector, polished internals, and had a set of standard Trijicon night sights installed. That said, I really like what the guys at Salient Arms are doing with Glocks these days, so might get myself something special for my 40th.

    In the meantime, I like the idea of undercutting the trigger guard, but not sure I want to do it myself.

    Extended mag releases tend to get bumped on carry guns. Leaving your mag hanging or at your feet after the first shot.

    Nice thing about the Vickers release is that is only slightly longer (on a Gen 3) then the factory release.

    If you want to check out the Vickers extended slide release / mag release I have them on my Gen4 Glocks. I'm in Windsor just send me a PM.

    I've looked at the Vickers extended mag release before and I wasn't too big of a fan of them. I agree with that quote a lot, like I stated in one of my earlier posts. I've put thousands of rounds through each of these guns. So far the only thing I've done to them both is stipple the grip and dremmeled the undercut, mainly just because I get a much better grip on the gun and I like the way it feels.

    I did just put an order in through GlockWorx for their competition spring kit, their V4 race connector and the extended mag release for my 35, which will be my competition gun.

    It's really not too hard man, I did both of mine no problem. As long as you take your time doing it and have a steady hand you'll do fine. I start mine using an 80 grit dremel wheel, then I move to a 120 grit then up to a 180 grit. Then I go back over it by hand in the same order with sandpaper and then finally use the polishing wheel on my dremel to clean it up and smooth it out. I'll post some pictures if you want to see it.

    Glock - connector and the higher tension trigger spring seemed to help lighten the trigger pull.

    I am a Glock guy, but really haven't messed with much, so the above comments and recommendations are of interest, thanks..........Winter is coming on and I will see how much I can do to screw up a pretty good pistol from the factory.........
