I never realized how frigging difficult it is to take a phone pic down the sight picture of a gun and try and get it all in some sort of alignment... 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

You can't go wrong w/ Dawson sights. A ton of dryfire is my favorite way to polish Glock triggers and shooters. After market parts are cool for fun guns but are usually less reliable than OEM for a carry gun in my experience. I put Vickers extended slide lock/release and mag release on mine and good sights and leave everything else stock. I replace the recoil spring and guide rod and the trigger spring every 5k rounds w/ OEM parts.
mike r Good advice for sure.

Sycamore Full size gun. 17+ 1 And the 17 is the one that started it all. Still fits in the back pocket of a pair of jeans.

Geuss what I did reassembling this gun???
I was thinking it was a gen 1 to gen 4 trigger bar with the front drop finger cruciform
This is a captured cruciform for the trigger spring hook on the gen 5,s front cruciform tab. Looking at vids about 30 mins ago. Wondering why I only got 1/2 Pd off the polish job and 1.5 coil clip.
Well its GTG now. And pulling between 4.50 and 4.40 pds.
👍👍👍👍👍👍

Not one bit ashamed to show the mistake I made putting it back together. The foward cruciform bar where the part #,s are . You can see the captured hook properly on it now That is that hook that holds one end of the trigger spring under it. You can see the forward part of the trigger spring going to its attachment area of the trigger block I had that hook under the forward cruciform arm. Glad I spent the last 2 hrs looking at vids and trying to figure out why I only got .50 pds outta my polishing job and every one else is getting .75 to 1 pds. One guy putting his back together said gen 5 captured cruciform. I knew right then I fugged up putting mine back together.

Kydex rocks, try Kydex Tech. mike r I know their are better holsters out their. I have used a kydex paddle holster before with the MCSO. uncomfortable to me. The army had moulded holsters for M9,s also. Just no give to em moving around to me. Bought a nylon molle chest holster for deployment. I'm gonna try to mod this one. And if it dont fly. I will look for something else. We got a couple of tactical sew/ fab shops up by post I can check out, if they have or could make one with a nylon plastic insert channel for the front sight along the rib line. That would be a good option I think.

Have you tried Remora holsters? I have had a couple over the years. Not bad. They work. Not my favorite
