As others have said, if I change anything at all on a Glock its the sights. I leave it stock.

I am a firm believer of it ain't broke don't fix it. I just recently decided to add night sights after carrying for over a year. I don't think Glocks need much help with mods to perform exelently. Sometimes less is more.

Ive been thinking about the Truglo fiber optic sights on my glock 20sf. Anyone on here try those? The problem I have right now is at 15 yards at the range the pistol target's I print out and shoot out the black circle is just small enough the dot on my front sight completely covers it up and its hard to aim right if that makes sense. I was hoping the fiber optic sights would help with that...... Here's the target I usually shoot at......

Look at this front sight.


You can see it standing 10 yards behind someone shooting the gun it's attached to.

the best advice you can find has been said more than once in this thread. keep the gun stock, at the very least for a while. i would even recommend holding off on sights until you have some more trigger time and do some more research. i've been through a dozen different sights over the past 8 or 9 years and as i have evolved as a shooter and used the gun in more applications, my idea of the "perfect sights" has also evolved quite a bit. don't waste your money going through all those sights, do the research and get it right the first time.

that being said, over the years i have been through almost every flavor of connector, trigger spring, full drop in trigger kits, recoil springs, guide rods, "enhanced" extractor plungers, extractors, match grade slide locks, and various other aftermarket parts. i always end up going back to the stock components in one way or another. other than sights the only mods i have come to favor on the g19 is adding a g17 trigger/trigger bar for the smooth face instead of the ridged face trigger, and a reduced power striker safety spring (not the striker spring). on gen3 guns i like a vickers mag release, but the gen4 mag release works fine as it comes. other than that, glocks are about as good as they are going to get right out of the box.
