The Perfect EDC Pistol Setup | Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS

- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- Welcome back to ROE! In this video, I breakdown my optics ready EDC setup for the Glock 19 Gen 5 Modular Optic System (MOS) chambered in 9mm. After about 2,000rds, this pistol has been a huge upgrade from my old Glock 19 Gen 3, and it is leagues above the rest in my opinion. What is your Everyday Carry setup?

Thanks to everyone who has subscribed so far, you guys are awesome. Let me know if you guys are liking OR disliking the content. I'm always looking for ways to improve and I feel like I've already changed things up a lot since my first video. I have a lot more planned so please subscribe if you haven't already. Cheers dudes!
What made you choose the MOS system over getting the slide milled?
@@HKX_ORANGECHICKEN Good question. I knew I wanted to try the SCS after some research, and the immediate appeal was how low it sat on the slide with factory irons. A lot of optics have high deck heights so you need taller iron sights too. So it required the least amount of time sending it into a company to mill it, almost no re-training in the way I present the weapon, and 0 permanent physical alterations to the gun in order to run a red dot. I'm not saying its 100% better than milling your slide to another specific optic, but it was just so easy to go buy the SCS and throw it on. Not to mention it doesn't need a battery. Hope that helps.
What holster do you use with that flashlight?
@@xCOBRAx28 Safariland IncogX. Fits like a glove.
This is what I call the perfect set up, how the optic fits flush and lines up with the serrations can’t get any better and also the flashlight lines up perfect like these two attachments were made for this gun. Will definitely be getting these for my 19
Facts! It’s a really clean look
That’s a damn nice setup. And thanks for the tip on the lens of the WML.
Just purchased the trigger for my PSA Dagger. Excited about installing this weekend. Glad it’s been working for you.
Hell yeah man! Honestly I didn't know it was compatible in the Dagger, I don't own one. Let me know how it works out for you
I recently picked up this G19 Gen5 MOS and gotta say it was a great purchase I made!
I concur. I bought one around the same time you did. First time at the range it ran flawless and shot great.
Great presentation and I like this set up. My G 19 is non-MOS and I run the Trijicon HDXRs on it. The stock trigger is surprisingly good after the break-in period.
Nice man, a classic setup! I agree, the trigger was actually pretty good, I just wanted to try out their performance trigger and ended up liking it a lot more than the stock one
I love my Gen5 glock 19!! In fact i personally carry G43X Gen5
Just ran into your channel. Love these sort of videos and the backpack review video as well. Love the video style. Subbed
Thanks bro I appreciate the feedback! Let me know if there are any changes you'd like to see
Came across this videos on my recommended and assumed you had 100k+ subs. Shocked to see the sub count, keep up the good work!!
Wow, that means a lot! Thanks man, I do my best, hoping to keep on growing and improving
I love to see the Glock smile. That means you actually shoot the gun. Great video sir.
This is my next Glock purchase. I’m going to do a lot of the same mods that I’ve done to my Gen3 23C (which I carry frequently). Simple and functional upgrades are the way to go for a good edc. Nothing flashy!
Exactly, little changes here and there that are specific to your needs can go a long way to making it perfect for you
Love the set up, keep up the good work!
This was a good quality review keep pushing content bro.
Thanks man!
Great job. Opening sequence, camera angles and music are all good man.....Also, your voice is easy to listen to. Good cadence and content. Your channel should do well. Good luck.
Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate the kind words
Just got mine and I’m excited
Just got my Glock 19 gen 5 about a month ago!! Loving it! Running it out of a tier 1 axis elite with a streamlight tlr7x in it. I have a holosun 508t waiting to be put on just haven’t had time to throw it on and get it zerod. I have baby hands so looking at getting an extended slide release and mag release so I don’t have to break my grip to reach.
That sounds like a dope setup bro, sounds like we got similar tastes. 100% agree on extended controls, I got schmedium hands too. You definitely gotta throw on that 508T though, its a game changer!
I'll have to try the talon under the goon tape. Right now I just run straigh goon tape but I think I may try this method out
I liked and subbed - nice build and review. My G19 Gen 5 MOS build is very similar to yours - I dig it.👍
Love it bro, thanks for the support! More to come
Superb quality video!
Big thanks 🙏
I appreciate that!
Yo, gaspack review!! I’ll definitely be tuning in to see what you’ve got in the future! Maybe an AR setup? 😁
🤫🤫🤫
Awesome content bro, very good video quality, greetings from Bulgaria.
I appreciate it man! Cheers
I learned the hard way that my AmeriGlo i-Dots were a bit too high and covers my window sight picture on my SCS… definitely will switch to what you got! GL01 bright and tough. :)
I hear ya man! I would caution you that I did have some trouble with the GL01's at first because they were causing me to shoot way high and right, even at 10 yards. Never could figure out why but I suspect the rear sight is bent or disfigured in some way. But you may have a better experience!
Great video and nice set up!
Thanks man!
Great video!!! I have a similar G19 gen 5 setup with the Holosun SCS and chopped beaver tail. I run the olight pl2 mini and stock trigger/mag release. You made me want to check out the performance trigger and extended slide release tho! Keep em coming
Thanks bro! Hell yeah, I seriously cannot recommend the performance trigger enough, the break and reset are stellar. Also the Kagwerks slide release does scrape up your slide a tiny bit as shown, hopefully you don't mind that. Just bend it a little outward. They're tools though, they're meant to take abuse.
I also have the Kagwerks raised/extended slide release and my slide has the most wear down the side I’ve seen 😂 I haven’t had any issues other than cosmetics, though. I’d like to bend it out a bit but my holster isn’t channeled for it so it’d probably bend it back eventually.
@@lowercvse yeah I don't really it mind it too much, but it was an easy fix right before installing so I figured why not
The Holosun is great for the rage for sure, after seeing as many fail as I have I can't say I'd trust my life on it, but that's why you have irons and can transition if needed.
Totally fair. I haven't had issues so I'm still rockin it, but I hear you!
Great video
Protip: you can take a buffing wheel to that beaver tail where you cut it, and it will make it smooth like a stock part
Yeah I just hand sanded it for now, I'll try that and fix it up
Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS with Streamlight TLR-1HL and currently the Holosun 507C, though I am definitely considering buying and using the Holosun SCS instead. Amd yes, im subscribed.
That's a sick set up man. I just ordered an SCS Carry so we'll see how it compares to the SCS MOS. I appreciate the sub!
love the video man keep it up
Thanks bro! I'll stay on the grind
Beautiful setup. I am pretty biased towards enclosed emitter optics but you're right the holosun SCS is pretty damn durable.
Hell yeah man, I definitely want to try an enclosed optic as well, this was just a great option for my needs at the time. Which one are you running?
@@defencivsolutions Acro P2 on my glock 19, runs really well for me. I kinda like the cube on cube look, cause I grew up playing minecraft.
3:52 I recently bought a used Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS. It came with a set of Dawson Precision all-optic height irons and I was also shooting shockingly over and up. I realized that the rear sight was visibly off-center and was happy knowing that, once I got it centered, I'd be shooting well again and it really wasn't me.
Well, I had a gunsmith center the irons and I couldn't wait to shoot. Unfortunately, I was now shooting even further off and up than before they were centered lol.
I plan to get a different set of irons because these take up too much of my optic window. Hopefully it's just a weird fluke. The gun only had 2-3k rounds through it before I bought it.
Dude this is exactly what happened to me with TWO pairs of GL01s. I wanted to like them so bad because they really are good quality sights at face value, but there's something off with the rear sight. Sounds like you and I had similar issues. My hunch is that the bottom of the rear sight is curved/bent on the right side. This would cause shots to go high and right/left, whichever way they're bent.
Radian makes a plate/ guard using the full size eps. It’s pricey coming in at 190 but it’s worth it if you want to run an enclosed optic.
Oh yeah I’ve seen that, they do make good stuff but yeah definitely pricey. I’ll have to check it out though
Awesome pistol
Thanks man!
Awesome Content!
I Like All What You've Done To Your Glock.
Will Be Doing Some Of Those Upgrades Myself.
Such an underrated channel
Appreciate it bro!
w video i have g19 gen 5 as well which features did u want that ur gen 3 19 didnt have?
Honestly, I could never get a consistent draw with the Gen 3 finger grooves. I also really like the front slide serrations and the MOS optic cut. I know I could have done all of those mods after market to my Gen 3, but I was due for an upgrade anyways. Both great guns though
Sick set up 👍 💯 😎
'preciate it!
Currently have a 43xMOS, but Im very interested in the 19
The 19 is such a classic, but I definitely want to snag a 43X to give it a try
Glock 19 is the greatest gun of all time. There’s plenty of other firearms with more features but G19 is the most reliable and softest shooter.
Couldn't agree more. You can completely customize it to fit you as a shooter
Looks cute. I currently have the 19x. I was playing with the 43x at the shop range last week. Still haven’t tried the 19, but the comfortability and the ability to move without having a pole against my appendix was a huge plus. The 19x prints and n the handle and I can’t work with it. It’s just too in the way and uncomfortable.
Those are the big three people like from what I’ve seen. 19x is a little long to conceal, 43x is a little snappy for some. 19 is the Goldilocks
I am tempted to pick up a g19 for my edc over a g43x this video does make want the 19 tho
Dude honestly you can't go wrong. Best advice I ever received was: get the biggest gun that you can conceal, but the smallest gun that you can shoot.
Still running my Gen2 19 , it’s become a part of me
Damn, a classic!
beautiful
Gracias
Looks good.
Thanks dude!
I am wondering what are your thoughts on the Shadow Systems MRL920L Elite? This comes with metal sights a better grip angle and deeper cuts in the slide. Do you still prefer Glock over the clones for reliability?
I've heard really good things about the Shadow Systems clones, but I have never shot one. In hand, they felt really good and they're definitely high quality, I just can't speak to performance. I'm sure they're solid or they wouldn't be selling as well as they do
Holosun just came out with another optic that has an enclosed option that is mos as well
Saw that, it has a different footprint than MOS but it is an easy fix with the K plate that GlockStore sells. Definitely want to get my hands on one
Great build and ignore the no life having haters. Thanks for the knowledge 💪
I just bought me a Glock 19 gen 5 today😁 Can’t wait to hit the range Oh also can’t wait to add attachments
Hell yeah bro! Definitely hit up the range!
The perfect build
No you're the perfect build
Just picked up one of these in Grey Frame.
Where you find grey frame?
Nice man! I bet the grey looks sick
Hey what’s your take on the Sig p365 and did you consider it for edc?
So this is my personal take: I used to work with a lot of former Sig employees (some of whom worked in the QC and testing department) and the stories they told about the culture at Sig completely turned me off to their products. Not only that, but the P320 safety issues solidified my beliefs that they care more about making $ than they do about higher quality products. Again, this is my opinion so don't take this as fact.
But as far as shootability and comfortability, I actually really liked the P365 (I have only shot the X Macro version of it). So take all of that with a grain of salt!
The majority of my passion and collection consists of long guns like ARs, AK74s, Shotguns, and PCCs, and when it comes to my EDC it's always going to be a Glock. One of the only pistols that I can break all the way down and I pretty much run em all stock. The only aftermarket triggers I would even consider are Johnny Glocks and I use C&H Precision's plates. Ameriglos or Trijicon sights work well for me and I always have to run the beavertail Medium Backstrap on my Gen 4s and Gen 5s or the Grip Force Adapter on my Gen 3s. Primarily have 9mm Glocks but I have carried .40s&w and 45acp chambered Glocks in the past. Tier One or T-Rex Arms Holsters are gotos for me. Of course on YT alot of people love to dawg on Glock for whatever reason but when it comes down to it, they just run and thats as simple as it gets for me. Run whatever you like and do whatever you like, it's your life and your money. I'm currently running a 19M MOS that I just purchased with all the fixings brand new for right under $600 Bones. Threw on my 507C and my X300T, and just waiting for a Agency Arms Magwell and i'm set. I like the backstrap mod tgat you. I chop the Gen 5 backstraps as well and sand them down. Good stuff man.
Hell yeah dude I agree with literally everything you said! Love your set up, it sounds super dialed in
@@defencivsolutions Thanks boss, keep it going, we definitely appreciate the content.
i have the similar setup with the scs how do you like it during night time or in dark areas? my biggest thing rn is wondering if the brightness enough with my wml to the point where it wipes it out. If you press the button it’s good but with the regular mode idk
I was worried about the same thing too but I found the auto brightness setting to actually adjust to the light of my target area really well. In complete darkness the SCS dims way down so you aren't blinded, and then when I turn on the Inforce it adjusts to the light bouncing back from the target. But I could maybe see it being an issue at more extreme distances (50yd +). The manual mode on the SCS is just one brightness that doesn't change, I don't recommend that setting for low light, its too bright.
I had a terrible experience with the holosun scs, my reticle was so bright I could not see the dot with my astigmatism... Just a big green blured star that takes almost all the window... If only they could add a true low brightness mode...
Hmm that sucks. Did you try pressing the mode button? It may have been locked into manual brightness mode which yes is very bright. But the auto brightness mode is usually pretty spot on to the environment. Could have also been a QC issue, happens sometimes
Got to say after trying the kagwerks slide stop and had to take off to fit in my alien gear duty holster and when i put in oem the trigger felt a lot better i think that kagwerks needs to upgrade there metal that they used . Also i had a few malfunctions with it after around 3 thousand rounds it would lock open during a mag wasnt to stoked .
Interesting! I only have 2k rounds through this gun but I have had the Kagwerks installed since the beginning so when I get up to around that round count I’ll keep an eye out for issues
@@defencivsolutions my first one I got also broke in half in the gun there metal needs to be better quality the part is great just needs to have a gen 2 .
@@charles17508 totally fair. I think a blued steel version would be cool
@@defencivsolutions yep me to .
Hey just got new tag precision sights, Glock performance trigger and Inforce Wild 1 on my edc G19 Gen 5 but the alien photon holster doesn’t house the wild 1 correctly, what holster would you recommend for a better fit? I’m willing to spend because I don’t plan on switching my daily carry anytime soon so please let me know what you recommend
I've been loving the Safariland IncogX, and it houses the wild1 perfectly. Check out my video comparison of some holsters that I have been using for more details, but I definitely like the Incog
Great build… I have the same set up, with Streamlight trl7a light, and ameriglo trooper sights. Everything else is the same…
That’s sick! Love it
Is the speed feed the “pro” option?
The one I have is the G19 polymer version. Not sure what the pro version is
You should absolutely always upgrade your iron sights on a Glock, especially if you’re running a dot so you can co-witness.
Agree, the plastic ones are known to come off. I had bad luck with the Trijicon ones featured in this video, so definitely looking for another pair somewhere
While shooting, does your weapon light start coming off ur gun?
Nope, never had that happen. Is there a specific part in the video you're referring to?
How does the good grip work? Or how do you like it?
The Talon Grips work really well, they were just messing up my stomach so the Goon Tape helps with that
What kind of ccw holster do you use with this setup?
Safariland IncogX currently. Sorry I forgot to mention that, its in my holster video
What's a rough estimate for the total price of the gun, and accessories?
MSRPs all add up to about $1300. But factor in some sales and it was less than that
love it
I appreciate that dude
the video production is also 10/10@@defencivsolutions
Does the wild 1 fit same holsters as aplc or tlr7a?
Yes it does, and actually the IncogX is labeled "TLR7" on the back of it. The Incog uses the ejection port of the slide for retention so the exact light usually doesn't matter as long as its basically the same size.
That’s funny I have this exact setup. Except with a glock 29
Love that
Was your slide milled?
Nay. Just the stock MOS cut.
Too big for edc ccw but a good open carry side arm, which i hardly ever do.
The 19 is too big? I'm a schmedium sized dude, haven't had many issues concealing it.
"Glocks are meant to be stock"...changes almost everything. 🤣
Haha fair but I was talking internals specifically. A lot of people's issues with their Glock malfunctioning come after they install fancy internal parts.
They make a magwell for those mags
Yeah I'm sure I could find a different mag well, but it's not a huge deal for me. The slight flare that it comes with works just fine
@@defencivsolutions my buddy makes a magwell for the Vickers mag baseplates. They look sick
@@defencivsolutions sorry I linked the 17-19x one but they have a 19 one for the base plates you got
@@michaelfelderman915 not seeing a link, what is the company called? I'll look em up
why is your dot to the left when irons are lined up
Just to make you ask
Just kidding. It's because I had an issue with the Trijicon iron sights. The rear sight is messed up somehow, so to the average onlooker, they appear not centered. But trust me, they are zero'd.
Glock 43x mos… with a shield arms magazine… now it has the same capacity as a 19 and is much easier and more comfortable to conceal, the best edc…
Definitely a fantastic option! I’ve only shot it once so I’ll give it another chance and maybe migrate over
NICE GLOCK BRO🤌🏽
what is the tape around the grip?
It's called Goon Tape
Tape for tennis rackets is also a good choice
@@anthonyblend9917 Yep! Anything to add a little friction
☆"Gaston Glock"☆ Generation•Five•MOS.👍💥👍...GOD BLESS HIM.☆🙏☆
RIP
I don't know man. If it fits you it's okay i guess but i wouldn't call it perfect. A TLR-7A would have been a better choice in that form factor and a closed optic a better choice for an EDC.
I hear ya man, I can respect the opinion. I did actually talk about both of these things in the video; how I don't like the downward/rotary knobs of Surefires and Streamlights (Inforce activates inward toward the gun), and how an enclosed optic is planned for future upgrades (really want to try out the new SCS Carry). Haven't had a single issue with the SCS MOS though, open emitters aren't bad for EDC, lots of people run RMRs, other Holosuns, etc...But you're right, it's perfect for my use case and preferences. That's the beauty of subjective opinions.
Can I conceal carry? This gun
For sure. It’s probably one of the most popular concealed carry guns in the United States
Good video, subbed
Your back iron sights need to be move to the right a little
No trust me, they're zero'd 😂that is what I alluded to in the video. When I put them dead center, I was shooting high and right by about 4 inches, even from 10 yards (I'm not that bad of a shot). I thought I was being an idiot so I had it confirmed by 2 other highly proficient shooters. Sent in the slide+sights to Trijicon, they said nothing wrong, sent them back. So I boresighted, pushed the rear sight slightly left, and now I am about as zero'd as I can get. Drove me crazy for the longest time but I said F it.
@@defencivsolutions sorry to hear that sir, try some Nightfision
@@adeladeakisanya5706 I'll check em out, definitely looking for alternatives. Disappointed the Triji's didn't work out the way I had hoped. But getting my money's worth on them for now.
If I had to pick one pistol it would be the g19.
Agreed! There are many great options and I haven't found one that tops it yet. Keeping an open mind though
I just got a g49 it has 19 grip 17 slide this might be the one
@@GlockFanboy45 That's legit. I have a G47 too and love swapping the slides to form a "G49"
What kinda tape did you put on the grip
Its called Goon Tape. Similar to hockey tape.
@@defencivsolutions question… why goon tape with the talon grips? The goon tape doesn’t take away from the talon grips?
@@dillonquick5134 Mainly, it fills my palm swell a bit better, making the grip feel a little more round, instead of square and blocky. But also it helps prevent the Talon grips from ripping off my stomach skin because I use the Granulate one, not the rubber one. Didnt like the rubber one as much. And lastly, I avoided the highest friction spots on the Talon grips (where my palm actually has leverage with the pistol) so that the tape doesn't get ruin the grip it gives me. Not sure if that makes sense
@@defencivsolutions I actually just ordered the rubber grips. What was it about the rubber that you didn’t like?
@@dillonquick5134 honestly just personal preference, the granulate just felt better in my hand. Most people I know that have Talons have the rubber and love it so I really think you will too
Did you hear Beyonce's new song? "Shouldve put a comp on it."
😂
I have always been taught to never, ever change the trigger on a carry gun. If you ever use the gun in self-defense and get sued, they will use the fact you changed the trigger (made it a lighter trigger pull) against you. They will call it a "hair trigger" in court and say that if you had only had a stock trigger, the person you shot would still be alive because you may have pulled the trigger accidentally. We know that is absurd, but the judge or jury may not be well-informed gun owners and may be swayed by the prosecution.
The prosecutor that charged kyle rittenhouse said in court that kyle using hollow-point bullets in his rifle proves that he wanted to kill people because hollow-point bullets "explode." Of course, that is insane but you are up against anti gun prosecutors, and they can say whatever they want in court to try to make the jury convict you.
I say dont give the prosecutors anything they can use against you in court. Potential jail time or lawsuits are not worth having a trigger pull that's 2 lbs less than stock. In my opinion, you should change the trigger back to stock by a certified glock armorer. You dont want the fact you changed the trigger or modified it in any way yourself to come out in court if you were to ever use this gun in a self-defense situation.
Totally hear ya man. This is a very common but uninformed argument in my opinion. Nothing against you personally, I’m just very passionate about this topic, so don't take this as me being aggressive towards you, its just a rant.
Anyways...I will probably not change the trigger back and hear me out. It’s all about the risks you’re willing to take (risk of using a heavier trigger that you are not as proficient with, or risk of court judging you for using a lighter trigger to take someone's life). For me, I have no problem articulating to other people WHY I have that trigger in there. It makes me more effective to use the gun to do its job: fire a round accurately. And if I am drawing my weapon, then that person has already crossed the deadly force threshold, so its my life or theirs at that point. I am confident in my decision making skills to know when that is appropriate.
But I do agree with you, *too* light is not safe, just for the sake of not ND'ing into my nuts. But I would argue that this trigger specifically, at around ~4/4.5lbs (see Lenny Magill's video testing the Glock Performance Trigger) it is still on par with a lot of stock triggers. Even stock triggers get down to around that much after a couple thousand rounds of use and abuse because friction on the trigger bar smooths out. So calling it a "hair trigger" gives me the same cringe as calling a rifle an "assault weapon." So I don't classify this one as a "hair trigger".
Additionally, I was actually less consistent with a heavier trigger. I would have several flyers in a group because the heavier pull made me less accurate through the wall and onto the break. Also, the shape of the OEM trigger contributed to that. So this flat face actually helps me pull straight back, and I KNOW when it will break. Therefore I am more consistent and can hit my intended target, which is actually *safer*.
On hollow points, my argument is similar. They're actually safer than single piece slug rounds in that they do not over penetrate. Hollow points are also not designed to kill people. They have better ballistics when they hit a soft target to NOT go through the target. FMJ penetrates further. In public this is very bad. You are way more likely to hit innocent bystanders. This is also why police use hollow points. To STOP their threat, NOT kill their threat. They almost always go immediately into life-saving mode shooting the perp. This is a weak argument to use on the prosecutions part because its just wrong. Best practice is to ask your local PD what rounds they carry, and use those.
Finally, Kyle Rittenhouse won that case and is still alive so I would argue he got the better end of the deal. I'm probably taking this to the extreme but I’m sure you’ve heard this saying before too: “I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.” If a lighter trigger is what keeps me on the better side of the ground, then I'm all for it. Plus, a prosecutor in court is going to attack EVERYTHING about me, not just my gun and round choices. Instead of conceding to that prosecutor's opinions about hollow points and "hair triggers", who doesn't know which end of a gun the bullet comes out, I would rather hire a good lawyer who can help me articulate my reasonings behind. So I’d argue it’s more important to train a shit ton, know your capabilities, and be able to articulate your thoughts with words rather than keeping a gun stock just to please a lawyer (and possibly making you a less effective shooter/more dangerous shooter in a real life scenario).
Thanks for listening to my TED talk lol. And again nothing personal, but I respectfully disagree with just about everything you said.
@reviewsofequipment listen, i agree with you. You should be able to change the trigger to something you are more proficient with. And a 4.5lb trigger pull is not too light. That is about the pull weight of most every other carry gun on the market. Honestly, glock should just put that trigger in all its guns from the factory because the stock trigger at 5.86lbs is so bad people feel like the only option they have to shoot the gun well is replace the trigger.
However, this won't stop prosecutors from using anything and everything about the gun and you personally in court to win their case. I don't think that is right. It's just the world we live in.
All that aside, i like your gun. It's set up well.
Totally agree with that! Both things you said are the upsetting truth. Glock doesn't innovate and prosecutors want you in jail lol. I appreciate the civil interaction/discussion, wasn't trying to start an internet argument haha. Its just a tough topic and hopefully one that I never have to handle in real life.
Thanks for the kind words man!
Not a criticism but just an observation about Glock guys. You buy the gun and then immediately swap everything about it…
Fair assessment haha but the only things that were “swapped” were the iron sights and trigger (even though it’s still a Glock trigger). Everything else is either stock, or a small add on to better mold the gun to me. But I agree with you it is definitely a stigma with Glock guys. I’m all about it though if it comes down to saving my life

This was kinda gay
LMFAOOOO
agreed
That explains why it was at the top of your suggested videos. Kinda sus that you clicked on it bro...
Not kinda
Why you hating for
No under cuts, no stippling, no Ramjet or comp, no upgraded trigger, no flared magwell, light and dot are made in China. Im trying to figure out how this is the 'Perfect' EDC pistol.
Lol. I’m trying to figure what video you watched. I said perfect for me, not white girl basic Gucci Glock. I did my own undercut dremel job that fits my fingers, double undercut is unnecessary. The whole point of the Talon Grips is to save money on a stippling job. Radian ramjets cost almost as much as the gun, and it shoots flat as it is. The trigger is upgraded, watch the video. The magwell comes flared from the factory, I talked about that too. And the device you typed that on was made in China, so…good one?
I prefer the VP9sk SCS
