I'd say about the same. Changes are rarely "upgrades."

I like what you did. Nice custom glock! I know most are glock purists and stray from altering a glock as it may lessen the function or beauty. Yet custom guns are a hobby for some and using a glock as a base gun is a great gun for such. I buy guns to keep so why not make your gun yours. Then again I would never alter any of my Glocks unless I had a double for some odd reason. But good work on you custom glock. Let us know how it shoots.
If this is a pistol that you intend to use in self-defense if such a scenario occurred...I think the barrel is a downgrade, I see no point of the RMR and view it as a hindrance and the punisher symbol(skulls in general) would not play well with cops, prosecutors or a jury.
If this is just intended to be a range toy or used for gun games... Never mind and enjoy your custom RMR punisher Glock 17.

With old eyes like mine a sight replacement is about the only thing I consider an upgrade on my handguns.
Plain ole Glocks seem to do what they were designed to do and they do it very well right out of the box.
They are not, and were never intended to be "presentation" guns.
If an owner wants to actually "upgrade" a gun and make it something purty to look at, why not buy a basic Colt 1911?
Make the upgrades that will actually improve fit, function, and accuracy. Add a little tasteful engraving and some quality grips and people will gather around oo-ing and awe-ing, not snickering.
It will hold its value and be worthy of becoming a family heirloom.
If course, this is just my opinion.

Congrats
I passed on a pretty nice S&W Model 57 the other day, (like I needed a third) because it had childish crappy laser engraving on the side plate. I might have bought it for a shooter had I been able to find a replacement side plate that didn't look like mottled crap. It was an 89-90 made Ellett Bros gun.
Not my bag either, but I don't begrudge a person their tastes in firearms.
