If you are a professional competition shooter, yes, they allow you to eek out more performance.

If not no

they look cool
don't you want to look cool?

>>33438522
heck yes I do

Only real answer. Looking gucci is a must in the 21st century.

Not true(Maaaaaaybe better grip on slide, but thats a stretch).
Sights, slide release, magwell, and mag release are only mods that actually help.

The only thing a Glock "needs" are better sights and trigger. If you really want, you can stipple the grips like a faggot and add a magwell as well for competitions.

Anything more than that is just stupid. I will never understand why people shell out thousands for a meme-tier ZEV, Salient, or Agency Arms Glock.

yeah if I wanted more grip I'd just add some grip tape

If you have the money and like the look why not?

I like that gun in the op.

I've heard that some of these custom Glock slides can induce malfunctions.

Confirmed for never doing any competition shooting.

A lighter slide moves a lot faster, due to less mass that's needing to move.

As in the weight distrib. is lkely changed by a non-Glock engineer? Not for me!

>>33438489
why the fuck would anyone want a lightened slide like that? seems like a horrible idea since glocks can be limp-wristed and with a lightened slide there would be even less mass to cycle the gun

I've actually had the chance to shoot a 19 that was outfitted with almost every single part that ZEV makes and it was seriously fucking sweet. It was super light and goddamned insanely accurate. The guy that had it shoots in local competitions and is a fucking beast.

That being said the whole gun cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $2k once he got everything done to it and it still didn't compare to a CZ75 i shot that had been sent off to CGW and had their entire parts catalog and work done to it.

>they allow you to eek out more performance
if and only if youve absolutely mastered the fundamentals of shooting

They have benefits assuming you understand the context behind such upgrades.

For example
>want to cut your 50yd groups in half
>buy KKM barrel
This is legit

>want to finally be able to hit a 6 inch circle at 14 yards
>buy KKM barrel
This is a software issue that is trying to be adressed with a hardware fix.

This guy has it pretty much right. >>33438506

Far too many people throw money at buying upgrades thinking it will buy them skill.

takes work to get them reliable. custom barrels will be finicky about the ammo you feed them and have to be adjusted by thr manufacturer usually
