Frequently Asked Questions

What are the top 5 recommended Glock upgrades?

The top 5 recommended Glock upgrades include a Pearce Grip frame insert for debris prevention, a Lone Wolf Distributors 3.5lb trigger connector for improved trigger feel, an extended slide release for easier manipulation, a Brass Stacker trapezoid slide lock for better grip during disassembly, and a Brass Stacker steel guide rod for durability, especially in 10mm models.

How do you install a trigger connector on a Glock?

Installing a Glock trigger connector involves disassembling the frame by removing the locking block pin, trigger pin, and trigger housing pin. The old connector is removed, the new one is installed, and the pins are reinserted. A function check is crucial afterward.

What benefits does an extended slide release offer on a Glock?

An extended slide release on a Glock provides a larger surface area, making it easier for the shooter to manipulate the lever to release the slide forward or lock it to the rear. This is particularly helpful for those who frequently use the slide release.

Why use a steel guide rod in a Glock 10mm?

A steel guide rod in a Glock 10mm, such as the Glock 20, offers increased durability over polymer versions and adds a small amount of front-end weight. This can contribute to better recoil management and overall longevity of the component.
