Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of buying used firearms?

Buying used firearms is advantageous because sellers often don't get credit for aftermarket parts, allowing you to acquire highly customized or premium firearms at a significantly reduced price compared to buying new.

How can porting improve a Glock's performance?

Porting, whether factory 'C' models or aftermarket 'C-style' cuts, reduces muzzle flip and recoil, making the firearm shoot flatter and faster. This can make a Glock compete with more expensive platforms in terms of speed and shootability.

What are some affordable ways to improve a Glock for EDC?

Affordable EDC upgrades for Glocks include adding stippling for better grip, C-style porting for recoil reduction, and optic cuts for red dot sights. Purchasing used firearms with these modifications already installed is also a cost-effective strategy.

Are there alternatives to factory 'C' models for recoil reduction?

Yes, companies offer aftermarket 'C-style' porting services for around $112. This provides similar recoil reduction benefits to factory porting without altering the firearm's overall length or requiring a new holster.
