"Oh Great!" you are saying to yourself, another glock build. :rolleyes::D

Well, this is how I upgraded my G17. Here is a picture of it with a Streamlight attached.

The first step was to take a picture of it (therefor admitting I owned one :o) and post it on the internet in an ad. Wait what? "An ad?" Yes, a WTT ad on several forums. Then when you ignore or dismiss the low ballers, you make an appointment to meet the person with an interesting offer. You make the deal and you bring home your new to you upgraded glock 17. Here is a picture or ten of my new pistol.......

"Uhm, that's not a g17!"

The sights have two sets of dots, which can seem confusing. But, the top set are fiber optic and light up bright with the slightest bit of light. The lower set are tritium and only light up at night. So, when shooting the pistol, just use the set that is lit up at that particular time. I honestly do not know if I like the setup but, I will give it a fair try.

BTW: in case you don't see the sarcasm with the glock smack talk, I just messing with a couple of guys. :D

Nice buddy really like that. The colors are really good. The only thing I don't care for is the markings on the slide. The marking on non ejection side are really nice but the words on the ejection side are just too much for my tastes. But its a great gun can't wait to see a range report!!! Congrats

Well, the first way to upgrade is to have never bought one in the first place, but this trade is definitely a close second. evilnanner

Great trade brother. nanner

Lawyer crap. If I go custom build on this, that'll be the first thing to go.

Fruits are good for you and Oreos are a must in a stable diet. Plus, I was being silly.

Lol..... Notice how the grip angle is "correct" on the Smith. This is the main reason for the trade.

Oh, I get it now. S&W did change the angle for more feminine hands and grips. ;)

LMAO!

I made the same "upgrades" to my glocks starting back in '07.

The M&P's are the top of the poly pistol food chain in my book.

I currently own four (gave the first to my wife, or it'd be five), and have done various mods to three of them.

I still own more 1911's, but if I'm not carrying a 1911; odds are I'll be carrying an M&P.

oreos are the best next to a doughnut. If i do have to drink beer its blue moon stuff is the best beer. And no beer is good.

I carry an M&P40C daily. Love it! I got a 9mm conversion barrel and a full size magazine with the grip adapter. Shoots pretty good. I would be interested in getting a full size but again a .40 with a conversion barrel. Then also add the .357 Sig and you have three calibers just in case another ammo shortage hits and you are lean on one type of ammo.

You need to throw a food warning disclaimer out there. Now I want oreos.

this signature exceeds the 15 character capacity count

Yep, any M&P is an upgrade to block; even a plain black one! nanner

Great idea although I don't care for the 40.

I did the "Skip the Glock and go right to an M&P9" upgrade. The only reason I didn't to the .45 was the G21 holds more rounds.

Well the 40 can also convert to 357 Sig and 9mm but the 9mm can't convert up.

Gentlemen, lets leave the plastic where it belongs. Phil's bedside pump drawer.


this is what a real gun looks like. sexy, sleek, all steel. comfortable in the hand and on your hip. caliber? why 45 of course. because shooting them twice is silly.

this is what a man carries, when y'all are done playing with the GI Joe guns then step inside and Mr. Browning will fit you for some balls.:D
