People putting gen 3 guide rods in gen 5 Glocks… Perfection

@thendrix I wouldn't call Glock perfection.

Mill the frame from stainless, fix the barrel in place and incorporate a roller-delayed blowback slide with guides in the frame.

That would be a fine sidearm. The slide velocity would be reduced so better optics could be used. Precision would be better.

Glock also sells horse semen now.

Gen 3 is basically “open source” at this point. If you’re going to toy that much, might as well replace the Browning action with a rotating barrel and fixed slide top for optics like the alien. Still talking about compacts not sub guns.

That said low profile slides for gen 3 are pretty flat shooting, and are easier to service and afford.

@thendrix Yes they are very good pistols. If I had a Gen 3 I would make the swap to 357sig and return home with a box of 9mm and swap back. Some people thought the barrel changes were sketchy but 357sig without having to drop a lot of money is what I saw.
