Frequently Asked Questions

What customizations were made to the Glock 19 Gen 4?

The Glock 19 Gen 4 received a stippling job and trigger guard undercut from Williams Gun Works. It was also fitted with a Trijicon RMR Type 2 optic, a Faxon Firearms threaded barrel, and an Olight PL Mini weapon light.

How did the stippling and trigger guard undercut affect the Glock 19's performance?

The stippling and undercut significantly improved the grip on the pistol. Removing finger grooves and allowing a higher grip transferred recoil better into the shooter's arm, increasing confidence and control.

What are the benefits of using a Trijicon RMR on a Glock 19?

The Trijicon RMR enhances accuracy by providing a clear aiming point and allowing the shooter to see more of the target area. It also requires training to master the draw stroke for optimal sight acquisition.

Does a threaded barrel improve accuracy on a Glock 19?

Yes, a threaded barrel like the Faxon Firearms option can marginally increase accuracy due to its slightly longer length, which provides more twist rate for bullet stabilization and can result in a slightly hotter round.
