Glock Thread!

[Spike]

Now I just need some kydex!

[Memphishills]

I've been working on this for a while and it's my first custom pistol, and the concept is what an 80s movie might make a glock look like if it was a sic-fi film. So here are some of the completed images.

WE G18C with Custom Painted Slide









Big props to Connor Ferrigan from OttawaValleyAirsoft.ca who did the custom paint work on the slide and outer barrel. It was stripped of its paint, and polished, then the top and sides had black reapplied to them. Top notch work.

Parts List:
WE G18C
Real steel ranger plates
SAI Trigger
Pachmayr rubber grip
Guns Modify Slide take down lever
Guns modify extended slide release
AIP stainless recoil rod and bearing spring
Angel Custom 6.01 TB with TM Bucking
UAC Fiber Sights (custom modified to fit WE) with UAC Red Fiber
Modified blowback housing return spring

Additionally I might get a magwell extension and the 5KU strike face to make it a bit more futuristic. Will update photos if I do.

Cheers!

OD & silver two tone?

I own mostly 1911 (TM and KJW) and want to get my first Glock 17. I don't want junk.

What are my choices?

BioRage suggested:
Get a TM G17C with tinted lower if you plan on going upgrade route.

Can buy cheap, and upgrade based on it.

DuffMan suggested:
Best for performance? Or....?
if you're talking about straight up performance, not feel, TM. All the way. KSC in 2nd.

[SuperHog]

Why tinted? Why not black to save upgrade costs?

KSC was considered. Is it 100% TM compatible with parts?

Mach1 Had the TM's off at 25%, tax in was $203.xx

They were 25% off on grand opening day and black Friday, I'm sure it may appear again during Xmas time.

I'm telling you to get the tinted because it's cheaper, and use it till it breaks, then you can slowly upgrade.

The frame you can add a Guarder or HK3P lower, whatever suits you. You could even paint the tinted lower.

Though running a stock TM G17 with propane lasts a while before it breaks, haha... so good luck trying to break it! :P

KSC runs a completely different system.

It would be for games only, so tinted would be just fine. If the tinted can last, I really don't care.

^What he said.

But those tinted plastic frames are pure garbage.
If you don't mind having some stuff breaking (mainly the front screw post) then you'll be ok. It'll take maybe 100rds on propane...if you're lucky.

Having that post break can have negative effects.
But sometimes you won't even notice it.

Ultimately it is a preference between a pre-rigged metal slide Glock or an all plastic one for upgrades and beatifulness at the end....

Well, you could try and find a black lower one, normal, but it's not worth the extra $40-60+.

Tinted lower ones are cheaper, and they will crack in due time, at that time, you can invest your money into a Guarder lower, which will set you for a life time.

You could buy a USED TM G17 and work off of it, or save the trouble and buy new.

Benefits of the Normal TM G17, is they come with Glow-in-the-dark Front & Rear Sights, if you don't care for them, and plan on getting different night sights later down the road. The tinted lower is your cheapest bet to start on a base platform, but that's how I see it.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

[SuperHog]

Again tinted is fine. If it lasts, even better.

I really hope is last more than 100 bb's

I won't buy used, because from previous experience, seen to many abused guns. I never sell my stuff because I take good care of them.

TM G18
-Silverback Laser Grip
-(Real) Crimson Trace Lightguard
-AIP Mag Release
-Guarder Stainless Steel Slide Catch
-Guarder Stainless Steel Slide Lock
-KKM Precision Stainless Steel Outer Barrel
-Guarder 150% Hammer Spring and Steel Hammer
-APS Glock Rail Sight
-ACM Docter Sight

Yeah...I have a thing for making my guns entirely, uniquely...mine.

[MaybeStopCalling]

Why do you have two lasers?

[Madrigal]

Google what a lightguard is. It isn't a laser. I have the silverback, and the LIGHTguard.
