Thanks Guide rod - NO Brass Magwell - NO Sights - Yes Grip Tape - Yes Aluminum Frame - NO You can change the barrel and you can change the mag release to the longer one(NO add on button) all parts externally must be on Stock Glock pistols.The tungsten guide rod look different from the outside therefore external modification. External modifications are not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grinch Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Cool thanks for the help so I can get a smith to work the trigger for me then?? Anyone got recomendations for who will do the best job?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Certainly use Tru-Grip and better sights. The RS trigger kit is a step in the right direction. If you want a better magazine release, pick up Glocks factory extended one. It is legal in Production. The extended slide release lever is legal also, if thats your thing. Magwells are a no-no in Prod, but that's what makes our division so much fun! Link to RS trigger kit Link to Charlie Vanek Trigger kit Both kits are excellent...I tend to lean more towards the Vanek, but for the money, the RS kit is a tremendous value. Link to the best grip tape on the freakin' planet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinch Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 wow this place is fast thanks again I got a factory 3.5 connector in it now so I guess I should get one of those kits and I'll be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'm goin' for: - New sights (Dawson adjustables) - Grip recontour (APS when he gets back) or my own - RS or CGR trigger job - Maybe some slide contouring/front serrations - Tungsten non-captured guide rod and 13# ISMI spring After that, no clue. I'm probably illegal for production. Oh well, gives me a new L-10 and Limited gun to plink with. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBF Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'm pretty sure the grip and slide contouring are not legal in production. Guide rods are OK , and replacement barrels of the same general dimensions as stock.. Magwell is not allowed in Production. Travis F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepickles Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The gun must be no heavier than 2 oz above the factory configuration. Guiderods are legal. (don't go over the total weight limit) Sights are legal as long as the new sights are still notch and post type. It is legal to recut the slide to accept different sights. Refinishing the slide is legal. New barrels are legal as long as they are the same length/contour as the factory barrel (you can't use a 7" custom barrel in a G17). (don't go over the total weight limit) Internal work is legal, examples of this are trigger work and spring swapping. You may use the extended magazine release that Glock manufactures for the G34/G35. Griptape is legal on the frame only, no griptape on the slide. No magwells, no Seattle slugs, no plugs in frame gap allowed. Recontouring the frame or modifying the slide is not Production legal. Factory baseplates must be used on the magazines, weight may not be added to the magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Not being able to machine the slide that makes sense. However, no grip tape is bein' a little nit picky. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 It's true...although I can't find the ruling right now. And calling the Glock trigger horrible is a bit much! I'd consider it to be bad...or crappy. Let's call it bappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Didn't mean to drift the thread... It's a spoofy comment from Kung Pow-Enter The Fist. From IMDB: Chosen One: Killing is wrong. And bad. There should be a new, stronger word for killing. Like badwrong, or badong. Yes, killing is badong. From this moment, I will stand for the opposite of killing: gnodab.

What if I had lightening cuts machined into my slide and then covered the illegal holes with grip tape? See the problem? Same with the Glock grip plug, sure it's not a Glock-made accessory (that right there should be enough to make it illegal) but what if I put lead weight in hole and covered it with the plug?

Dave, one of my friends got moved to Open from Production on the second to last day of the Open/Production Nats this year for one piece of grip tape on the slide forward of the ejection port. It was ruled an external modification not on the list of specifically approved ones...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driver8M3 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 i have a feeling that if someone got caught covering up some illegal frame or slide modifications with grip tape they would get something worse than moved to open...10.6.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
