I just listened to the mod cast 169 modding handguns again. Cool stuff. I’m a normal non mil/le dude and just have a concealed carry permit. I carry everyday. Stock glocks with metal sights.
I recently tried a ghost 3.5 connector thinking 10 bucks is easily justified if it can help me shoot a bit better. It didn’t. Fact is I started having malfunctions. Failure to eject and stove pipes. I saw no change in my groups. The action of the slide felt stiffer and the trigger reset was louder. It seemed that the connector made things worse. I removed the part immediately. Not thrilled with the experience. Did I just get a lemon or do something wrong?
Also I’ve been under the impression that it’s better to spend the hard earned money on ammo and training instead of cool new gadgets. I get why enhancing a gun is a good idea however, is there also the potential for getting spoiled with aftermarket triggers and the like? I’ve been figuring that if I can shoot stock guns ok then a ninjafied gun will be easier and not the other way around. Properly applied fundamentals seem to be the answer to most things. At what point am I just being lazy and trying to buy skill versus giving myself a legitimate advantage?
Thanks for any input and really appreciate P&S for being around.
