Warthoga5 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I have a basic Glock 22 Frame on the way, I've got magazines, and I bought this slide assembly for $100 from a guy who got it in a trade. So I know that a 35 is usually preferable over the 24, but given the price for the complete slide with a KKM precision barrel, I have decided to turn it into my first Limited gun. So now I want to know everything that I need to get/do. Should I lighten the slide? What pound recoil springs should I try. Who makes the best trigger for a limited gun? Should I get a lightened striker and slide spring package? Who has the best extended mag release? Best mag well? Mag extensions? EVERYTHING!!! Thanks guys!!!!

EkuJustice Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 for the mag extentions i like the dawsons as they are easy on easy off and get me 20 rounds in the mag. For the trigger, I have used a vanek and a glockworx fulcrum and like the fulcrum a little better but its pricey. a connector and springs can get it decent without alot of coin. Magwell, go either dawson on SJC. The SJC is definately bigger than the dawson. I have a modified mag release in one where I took a extended one, rounded it over and put a radius on all the edges and run it as a mid length. Its plety easy to hit and wont drop mags when you dont want it to. I actually prefer the 6 in and have a 6inch sti and the glock 24 as a backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklab2011 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Do you have 4-5 mags? I would put a SJC heavy magwell on, put dawson mag extensions on the mags and shoot it...alot. After you have several matches under your belt you will have a better idea of what will make the gun run better for YOU. I have a 6 in Glock 20 with a extended mag release because my short fat fingers can't reach the standard size one. I will every so often hit the release accidentially, if you can reach use the stock release I say stick with that. Polishing the trigger, ghost 3.5 connecter and competition springs will have given me a pretty good trigger at a fraction of the cost of a custom trigger. Vanek and glockworx fulcrum are very nice but based on the cost not that much better the a .25 DIY job. Bottom line is before spending your $ shoot it alot and you'll figure out what will make it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklab2011 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Oh yeah....I agree you got a great deal on the slide!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niceash Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Should be nice once you get it put together. Another option for Mag Extensions is Taran Tactical Innovations They also do grip work, trigger and other Gun smithing. Taran uses a 24 in competition and they are very familiar with Glocks.

Pro-Pain Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I read '24 in competition' as "24 inch competition" and thought whoaaa, that's a glock! As was said, I agree with Dawson's too. Easy on/off, and some of them come with the +power mag springs.. Shoot it first before you worry about major upgrades. As far as springs, develop a good load for it first, then look at the recoil spring, but +power trigger spring and minus power striker spring/lightened striker and plunger spring are usually cheap enough to do now. Look at the minus connector, and look up on here or the youtube about the $0.25 trigger job on a glock. Mag drop comes down to preference, I've never tried but I think the "paddle" style ones would be fun to try: http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/frame-parts/magazine-release-parts/magazine-releases/standard-mag-release-for-glock-sku452000001-7580-18856.aspx?ttver=2&utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm_source=shopping&mc_id=17000&gdftrk=gdfV21820_a_7c187_a_7c1021_a_7c452000001_d_452000001_d_10729 I also think that, for much as you'll be taking the slide on and off, these are invaluable: http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/frame-parts/slide-catch-parts/slide-catches/extended-slide-lock-lever-for-glock--prod22920.aspx?ttver=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuflehundon Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I like the Arredondo extensions myself. They are made of Delrin, and are super easy to take off for cleaning the mags and also come with the +power extened springs. Pretty sure they all come with the same springs.
