Jeremyc_1999 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 How would you setup a glock for carry optics? I'm thinking: Gen 4 g17 mos Carver custom trigger (already own in a g35 limited gun) Tungsten guide rod Grip tape I like the idea of a 17 instead of a 34 because the longer sight radius isn't needed in CO and you have a lower reciprocating mass what I would really like is a 19x with mos. I amg thinking gen4 because I already have the carver trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fo0 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 how much lighter is a 17 slide than a 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geraldskip Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 If you want the best glock trigger, go gen 3. You don’t need some fancy trigger, the stock will do. Just get upgraded springs and polish it and you’ll be amazed by the difference. Get a 17 or a 34, but just be sure to get one with a normal guiderod so you can buy an aftermarket one to change out the spring. Once you polish the trigger and change the recoil spring, the gun is practically ready to go. Only thing left is grip mods and slide mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I amg thinking gen4 because I already have the carver trigger 34 and 17 are close in wieght. I've had all gens and prefer gen5 and prefer the 34 over the 17. It feels different and I prefer that. Grip tape will not stay put if you grip hard. I don't care what anyone else tells you. It will move. If it doesn't you're not gripping hard enough. I like tungsten guide rods. My set up is gen5 34 with a tungsten guide rod. I just do a TTI trigger kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novagunner Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I run a gen 4 34 MOS to dabble in CO. there is about a .5 oz difference between gen 4 17 (12.7) and 34 (13.3) slides.not sure about the gen 5 34s. i like flat triggers on glocks so I swapped mine to a OW TAC. Tungsten guide rod also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rpope423 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Dad runs a gen 3 17 with factory spring on a 128gr bullet with a delta pro and does just as good as guys with cz that have been cut and other expensive guns. Also with some time and work you can get the gen 3 trigger down to 2lb with a lot polish and springs. gen 5 trigger isn’t bad but it took us longer to get it down to 2.5lb than any other generation Glock. Its all about what your confident in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHBret Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I might consider the G45 MOS. I have a Gen 5 34 MOS and a Gen 5 19 MOS and shot both at an indoor GSSF match this winter and shot the 19 better. And the 34 had a red dot and the 19 had “iron” sights. The 19 actually had the adjustable rear from the 34. I’m really intrigued by the 45 MOS.

JLB-US Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I’m not against you on that plan. Physics wise, and looking at what top guys are shooting in competition, I know it makes no sense, but my 19x with that long grip short slide format just feels awesome when I shoot it. I’d use it for production but the tactical jokes would be brutal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremyc_1999 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 I ended up going with the 45 MOS I put 161 rounds through it tonight and I think it will fit the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickDrawMcGraw Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Has anyone here tried the Holosun 507 on a Glock for CO? I really like my 510s in carbines, so I was planning on sticking with the circle dot reticle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrackCage Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I have the 507c. I used it because I bought a brownells glock slide and needed to stick to the rmr bolt pattern. It's my first experience with a pistol dot, so not sure I'd be of much help. I'm enjoying it so far. And it took me straight into A class from the initial classification, so I know it's not the optic holding me back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
