There is also a "Gunsmithing" forum that deals with modifications here, it you scroll up.

Though this forum gets more activity.

Yeah, I'm interested in what you are thinking of doing. I just ordered a MechTech conversion unit to make my 1911 10mm a carbine.

Post away.  We aren't Nazi's here.  If we feel it should be in a different sub-forum, we will politely and quietly move it, but leave a redirect behind.

Than ks and I bring up on this forum rather than other ones because most people here are helpful and have common since. I have my new G20sf   and  I have already installed a brass stacker 20#ss rsa,now I have ordered and I  am awaiting for my Ghost "edge connector and edge spring kit with 6# and 6.5# firing pin spring.i have never been tempted to do any mods untill I joined on here and bought my 20sf, I have a Gen 3 model 17 since '97 and have never done anything  to it I don't know what happened  but when I got my 20sf everything has changed.Any how any input is always appreciated.

Thanks ,it's a great honest  video .i  am now more  confused,  but  I don't  see myself  shooting underwater.more like dropping  Glock in a running wash,I know I did that quite  a while back but I immediately  detailed stripped  and cleaned ammo the sand and water out lightly  oiled and reassembled.

The Trijicon HD sights are a pretty awesome upgrade if you've considered changing sights.

I just put some Truglos on a Taurus 1911. But I also like the factory installed fiber optic pipe fronts on my Fusion Firearms and RIA Tac II.

I'm really considering these for my LC9s. Pretty great sights, huh?

Yeah Iam still on the fence about what kind of night sights right now Iam using a import green laser /flashlight  combo that has actually  held up to the recoil of the 10 mm now I just can't find a holsters  for it I made the mistake of ordering  the Ghost  stealth  GI holster so now Iam looking for wallet friendly holsters.Oh I did get my Ghost  edge  trigger.connector which  did make a huge difference as far as trigger feel no creep ,  however  with the new  Ghost  spring  kit  the trigger is slightly  heavier.

This is my first post here.
I found this site a while ago and wish to thank you all for intelligent posting of topics..

This is a very cool conversion... I was thinking of getting the Olympic Arms 10mm upper but it's over $700, and anyway I have a Para in 10mm and a Grizzly in 10mm and 10mm Magnum..

I will look for the appropriate section and post pix of my toys..

Anyway, I'm now going to research that MegTech upper conversion, it would look great on my Para and Grizzly!

These are True Glo's on my Taurus 1911. Look how it almost looks as bright as the green LED in the background.

Welcome Riddim and thanks for the visual gang dog ,I'll be honest  with severe diabetic  retinopathy  I have believe  or not problems  transposing the sights especially  at night,I have thought about getting  a different  color front sight like in  the green rear/yellow front ,Iam  not sure yet .

Tru-Glos really aren't much help at night. They need sunlight to operate well. Tritium night sights is the way I would go. I have them on my SIG P229, and they work well at night, and don't fade as the night goes on like glow in the dark painted ones.

Does any one  have any ideas for a R/H holster that I can use for my light /laser  combo or even the iwb clip that attaches to the back plate with to screws?

After ?all my minor tinkering on my G20sf, and running  100 rounds through  quick as I could I really like the Ghost edge drop in I should have ran more through it but Iam saving the rest for big church shoot out and to check  on my new reloads but I think  it was the biggest improvement  I made hopefully  I can get a drop in barell any Idea which  I should  look at ie KKM storm lake Wolfe Which on. And why ? Thanks

We there are many who swear by the KKM barrels and I'm sure they are good to go.  For my Glock I have LWD conversions for 357Sig and 9x25Dillon, of those 3 barrels they have been perfect with great chamber support.  I also have two Storm Lake barrels for the G-29 one is 10mm and the other is 40S&W, these are from 2007 and have been good, the 40 chamber is almost too tight and lets me know when it needs to be cleaned.  I only use it for range play.

When I carry any of the Glocks it is with the factory barrel for the best reliability.  I also you the factor barrel when developing ammo as not to exceed the 0.4340" case expansion.  Anything larger is a slight smile starting.

For other guns I have used Bar-Sto with good results.

  Yes o have heard alot of great things about Lone Wolf and my brother in law swears  by them and S you said they chamber may just a little too tight on his 40S&W  Conversion to 9x19mm after shooting  alot of PPU fmjs ,he tried some Remington 12r great golden sabers and had a few FTF's  so I was wondering if there is  happy medium I. Up graded drop ins or just stay  with the looser more reliable feeding of stock barrel? I do live where it's very dusty  ,but lately  become pretty obsessive about keeping my two Glocks clean and dust free.
