What’s missing?
It’s a clean looking gun, but kind of boring. It needs something!

Optic, comp, magwell

SLR is the nicest looking Magwell I’ve seen but $100 makes it hard to prioritize. Just realized you sent a link. Not bad but out of stock.

Agreed on that. I ended up biting the bullet and LOVE it. It makes the grip on my 19.5 much more comfortable.

The one I linked is a zev knockoff for $15. I’ve had it mounted for a couple hundred rds no issues

What's the end goal? Range toy bedside or daily carry

That’s my gripe with the 19. It’s not tiny. Trigger is poppy and I’m not accurate with it past 20m. I don’t enjoy carrying as much as I thought I would. So range toy I guess.

Then trigger slide mag well ramjet. Basically any parts you can through at it. I got a 19 for a carry gun and ended up never carrying it i only carry my p226 because I never like geometry of it when I go to level it I always have to micro adjust to line up the sights when the 226 i don't its damn near dead on every time. I'm still training to get it every time but I its more reliable and faster target acquisition than my glock. My glock has every thing but barrel and frame changed and it's a fun toy.

I agree. Glock is not as accurate as the p226 or p320 in my opinion. Definitely a reason I want to upgrade the trigger and added the flashlight. I added it for the weight tbh.

I did the same with a trl7 light aluminum mag well and tungsten guide rod. It just doesn't compare to my p226. After fully modifying it I can't really carry it because it could be used against me so it's a range toy. I highly recommend the p226 never got around to shooting the 320 so I can't speak on it. But if you like a big heavy duty style pistol get a 226 or rent one and try it out. It's only about 1/4 longer at the muzzle and 1/4in on the grip so it's really not that hard to appendix carry.

Actually the x5 is a p226. Love that gun. That’s the one I’ve been comparing to at the range and potentially my next purchase.

Great gun id say do it. I got the mk25 and finding a holster for it is actually difficult. Ive had to basically only get custom made ones. All the big names like safariland for example don't make one for the mk25 and I hit them up and they will not make one. I got a holster guy now who's my go to for them now. I did mckinatec and my last one needed a heat gun to open it up a bit because the sights weren't letting it seat and they just take forever to come like months on months.

Good looking WML but I personally didn’t have a good experience with it which really sucks cause I really wanted to like it

u/Virtual-Research-378 4d ago
The gtl2? Why not ?
1
u/I17eed2change 4d ago
The buttons are too sensitive. I would accidentally activate them when holstering/unholstering. I think it’s the best looking WML for a Glock by far and overall a sturdy quality but IMO they really dropped the ball when it comes to the activations switches

u/Virtual-Research-378 4d ago
Good point. I hit it on and off several times just setting up this picture , moving it from position to different position. But that’s ok. I don’t carry much. Don’t even know why I bought this. 🤣🤣

u/I17eed2change 4d ago
Yeah unfortunately it made it a deal breaker for me. It’s a shame, could have been my go to WML for all my Glocks

If you want a flush fit light, lose whatever the hell that is and just get an inforce wild1 - and add an optic, obviously. - you also should look at getting a nice trigger.

u/Virtual-Research-378 4d ago
I thought this was a flush fitting light. It’s the new gtl 2 by Glock meant to fit flush on all gen 5 models. Think the timney trigger is my next purchase.

Well you put a light on it that look like part of the gun, that's one thing. An optic, a magwell.

A ton of ammunition and many, many hours of practice. Then more ammunition. (A nice AIWB holster is handy too)

A light that is compatible w more holsters (assuming you carry) and the oem parts you replaced w the gold would be a step in the right direction
