Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key aftermarket parts used in this Glock 17 build?

This Glock 17 build utilizes a Timney trigger assembly for improved performance, suppressor height sights for optic co-witnessing, and a threaded barrel to accommodate a suppressor. A Trijicon RMR optic is also mounted on the slide.

How does the Timney trigger installation differ from a standard Glock trigger?

The Timney trigger installation is significantly different from standard Glock triggers. It involves replacing internal slide components like the striker and springs, and the frame assembly has a unique method of securing the trigger mechanism that requires specific attention to detail.

Why are suppressor height sights recommended for this build?

Suppressor height sights are installed to allow for co-witnessing with the mounted Trijicon RMR optic. This means that if the optic fails or is damaged, the iron sights can still be used to aim the firearm.

What type of barrel is used in the final Glock 17 build?

The build starts with a ported barrel but is ultimately swapped for a threaded barrel. This threaded barrel is essential for attaching a suppressor, which is a common accessory for firearms with this type of modification.
