People, the OP just wanted some suggestions on how to lighten a Glock!
I myself like to tinker and can appreciate the OP's desire to modify an existing weapon.
I imagine that the user name Ultrlight Bob make some sense now!

Here's some suggestions.
Krytos makes a titanium slide that they boast is 25% lighter than a stock slide.

SInce the slide is the heaviest part of a glock, that would make the most weight savings possible, and surely shave off a few ounces.

Also look into the weight savings of ARX polycase ammo over conventional hollowpoint ammo. I got a weight saving of 2.5 ounces with eleven rounds.
ARX Interceptor 9mm, 65 grain solid fluted bullet going almost 1700 ft. chronographed out of my glock 19.
