Re: New Glock 27. Bitten by the bug.

I use Pearce model PG-39 extensions.
They are +2 for .40 and +3 for 9mm.
They are better than the Glock Factory extensions.

Re: New Glock 27. Bitten by the bug.

Yeah, I once considered a New York Trigger and heavy trigger modifications, no need for it imho.
use a good holster, watch where muzzle is pointed, follow safe handling rules.

Kevin_S wrote:Just went out and bought me a Glock 27. Few months back got me and FNX 9mm and took my class now I've been bitten and needed a "fix". I had to have another one (handgun) that is. Now I have just one worry. The FNX has a flick lever type safety and it is also a sa/da type pistol. That is comforting to me to know it isn't going to be real easy to mistakenly fire or discharge the thing. My concern i have is this with the it has the lever thing on the trigger and not an actual switch type safety. How hard is it to mistakenly hit that and the trigger and misfire the gun. ie accidental discharge while holstering the gun. I know not to put finger on trigger until ready to shoot but I'm asking a out the thing getting accidentally pushed. Does this make sense ? I'm to nervous right now to even put a round in the chamber while carrying and that defeats the purpose of trying to be ready for the unexpected.
I carry a Glock, I've owned Glocks since the 1980s.
Here's the thing: It isn't just "keep finger off trigger"
It's "keep finger out of the trigger guard"

"keep everything out of the trigger guard" (chapstick, lipstick, keys, whatever)

But, relax, ...
Remember revolvers?
They had fewer safeties than a Glock.
No one kept all the bullets unchambered except Barney Fife.
He kept his cartridge in his pocket.

"keep finger out of the trigger guard"
I rest my index finger on the slide just above that detent-Takedown lever area, until I want it to go bang.
(If you later get an internal laser, that takedown lever is the laser's ON switch)

Only one other caution:
QUADRUPLE check it's empty before you think about pulling the trigger to disassemble, then check it again, then think, then check it again ... (Pasadena Police Dept had a little piece of concrete missing in the floor of the old building, after they switched from revolvers to Glocks, I won't say how that happened, but it wasn't me thank goodness.
