Bought some 9mm NATO ammo for the match. It was HELL finding 124gr ammo, but I finally did and along the way found out that Academy and Walmart both had 22 in stock. I also heard that ammo prices may be going down next week at Walmart, maybe it means were returning to pre-sandy hook inventory and price levels.

Purchased a Gen 4 Glock 19 today as a project pistol.
What I already hate about it: The trigger (it's shape, safety and weight), and it's sights.
What surprised me: The grips on it wasn't aggressive and it was pretty subtle.
What I am going to:
I am replacing the trigger with the Zev Ultimate adjustable trigger kit. Which also replaces the firing pin. I am going to either replace the sights with a red fiber front and blacked out rear sight, or suppressor sights, since I love them on my core. The grip is going to be dremeled down and stippled, along with a trigger guard cut. Look forward to the pictures!

Been down that exact road. At the end of the day, it'll still be a Glock, and if it's not your thing, it still won't be your thing. Fun process, but hard to sell once burned. Just a thought.
I had a Gen 3 Glock, and loved it, but it was the initial version of the Gen 3. I don't know what the previous owner did, but I enjoyed the trigger break on it. I think this would be a fun project even though its going to hurt my wallet, but I am sure I can match these frame results with my surgeon like hands.

I got in a few more things for my XM16E1 and M16A1 clone builds I am working on. I received two original M16 charging handles, an original A1 rear sight assembly, and a C MP B barrel (for M16A1). I already have a C MP C barrel for the XM16E1.
Here are the charging handles and rear sight assembly
Here are the two upper assemblies (mock ups)
My lower XM16E1 will be here Wednesday. I have the M16A1 lower is on order. It may be some months before it is ready.

Under cut looks good. As for smoothing, I use ultra high grit sandpaper (1250+ grit) to smooth off my stipple work and a great gun will semi soften and smooth minor texture issues as well.

installed the GG&G sling adaptor to my mossy shotgun as well as an archangel side saddle. Just in time for IDPA this weekend. Now sits proper on the sling
I also had to modify the forend to clear the saddle when cycled all the way back. Cut and shaped with a dremel, no problems.

Please post some pics. I know Dante has talked me out of this already but it still is in the back of my mind. It will cost me more than it will you as arts and crafts isn't my thing and I have to send it out.
I've done my fair share of playing with Glocks. great handguns but don't get carried away with mods. before you know it, you have yourself a $1k plus polymer pistol and a band-aid to a bad trigger discipline. spend the money on ammo and send rounds down range. I know of many master class shooters that puts a whoopin' with a factory Glock trigger. good luck with your project
After being ruined with 1911s I'd like to have a higher capacity 9mm polymer gun. I thought about just doing a Glock 19 w/ a zev drop in trigger and calling it a day. I prefer an XDM over a glock any day of the week but there really isn't much aftermarket support besides PRP. I would look into a sig with a srt but after dealing with their customer service ill never own a sig again.
I didn't know Springer precision made trigger parts. I know they make the fancy magwells and all that. They have exactly what I was looking for in comparison to the zev kit.
I found a XDM 4.5 9mm for $500 new so I might pick it up. It's always hard to beat the $440 OTD for the G19 with LE.
