Going to pick up my Glock 34 in 3 days, what are some of the first mods I should do to it when I get it?

I'll prob get a sevigny competition rear sight, and a dawson red fiber optic front sight.

Buy lots of ammo!

Once you have shot 1000 rounds, you 'll know if you need modifications.

The Warren/Sevigny competition set can be ordered with an FO front.
Maybe a couple extra mags, other than that, buy a case of ammo and shoot.

I don't know what the mod de jour is. Seems to be an illness (obsessive- compulsive). The Glock in stock form is everything you need and nothing you don't.

I have a Dawson red F.O. front sight, and I don't like it. I much prefer the AmeriGlo -0.105" wide x .200" high tritium dot, although I don't have any use for the tritium dot. Stock Glock front sight is 0.165".
I just line up the sight tops. Don't buy a rear sight until you know what height you need. Or...buy any rear sight and then determine the necessary front sight height.
Glock has four cheap ($5) stock plastic rear sights to pick from, each of which will change your point of impact by 2-3" @ 25 yards.
Measure the height of your rear sight (above the slide) with a dial mikes right now and record it. Then install your sevigny rear sight. Then measure the height of the Sevigny above the slide. Compare heights. Then buy a front sight height to compensate.
My POI = my POA when the rear sight sits about 0.010" higher than the front sight, which is what I like. I do NOT use a 6 o'clock hold for target or GSSF competition, or whatever.

The stock front sight WIDTH is about 0.145". Much too wide for me. I prefer the 0.105" width; gives you more light around the front sight.

Change out the factory lube for aftermarket lube. Then, you're done...

Ameri Glo sights and ammo!

Is that the night sight from ameriglo?

Big +1.

I think some guys want their Glock to be "special" or unique. Great way to turn a weapon into a paperweight.

It may depend on why you are modifying it. If it will be used for carry night sights might be a good/only choice. On the other hand a CCF stainless frame

and a new slide
http://glockstore.com/pgroup_descrip/383_Slides+%26amp%3B+Frames/7365_Replacement+Glock+Slide/

are great modifications to make the Glock look different. They have the added advantage of helping to stimulate the economy. And just like spinners they don't often add to the day to day functionality. Enjoy your new G34.

 

[Bushflyr]

Polish the trigger parts = Free. Then lots of ammo. Worry about other stuff later.

 

[Steve in Az]

Buy ammo, shoot, repeat. Glocks need nothing but trigger time.

 

[Cracker7]

ammo, ammo, ammo. That's it! :whistling:

 

[jamaicanj]

The Sevigny sights are great.

It's easy to fall into the trap of wanting to customize your gun before
you've even fired it.

I'm +1 big time on getting to know your handgun well before any modifications.
Especially if it's intended to be a carry gun.

I almost ordered all kinds of things for my EXO G27.
After shooting it all I added was 1 stock 9 round mag
and 3 22 round big sticks.

Get extra mags, an UpLULA magazine loader, 1000 rounds of ammo and open fire!

Have fun and be safe!

it really depends what you expect of it- Ive had mine stock for 6 years and for me its perfect. listen and learn from all the above posts and enjoy! ymmv.

 

[Wawrz]

turn it into an sbr buy the mako telescopic stock and the tactical folding grip:supergrin:

 

[Tango 1Zero]

Shoot it first then see how it feels to you. Then shoot it some more.

 

[IT0]

SS guide rod.
Sights you like.
Extended Slide Lock.
3.5# connector.
.25 trigger polish

Give it a 1,000 rounds then decide if you want to do any more trigger work.

Ammo. Like the others have said, it's just a bad idea to modify a perfectly good gun before ever firing it. A few mods that I would say are absolute wastes of money for a 9mm Glock: aftermarket guide rods/springs, anything made with exotic metals. The only true modification that I would ACTUALLY recommend would be sights. Everything else is just bling that may negatively affect reliability. Just shoot it. If you NEED a modification, then get it later. If you don't NEED it, save your money for ammo. Shooting your gun often will increase your accuracy and proficiency MUCH more than will modifications.

No offense, but if you buy a bunch of modifications, and install them before shooting it, I can almost guarantee your next thread will have a title like this: "I just shot my G34 for the first time, and it kept jamming". It WILL NOT jam stock. Think about that.
