Customizing a Glock is sort of like dressing up a shovel.

Nothing wrong with shovels, great tools as is the Glock, but customize it?. Sheeze.

While Glocks are not my favorite I do own one and can see the hidden beauty in the design. However, those photos are about the most hideous thing I have seen on this forum to date. But, thanks for sharing.

This thread makes me that much more eager to get my G22. Should be getting it in a couple weeks.

Can't wait!

I like the flat frontstraps, who did those for you guys? Thats one of my biggest gripes with not just glock but any gun, finger grooves. I like it flat so my hand can do what it wants.

About the only way to "dress up" a Glock is give it different stippling. Other than that let ugly be ugly!!

I hate the way stock Glocks feel in my hand and wouldn't even have considered buying one til my buddy told me this one was on the market. I absolutely love this gun though.

I'd put pictures up, but I'm not sure how to show:
- Ghost 3.5 disconnect
- Aerotek Titanium guide rod
- Trijicon Night sights(yellow rear, green front)
- Polished feed ramp

The only way I know how to dress up a Glock, is all internal.

Lipstick on a pig.
I could barley see paying money to customize a "high end" $1000+ handgun like a SIG, 1911 or H&K but a glock?

On the upside I think i've seen more "tacti-cool" glocks today than ever before.
