Pretty much finished with the lower for now. Wanted to drop another update of discoveries for anyone chasing the full PB. Trying to catalogue the journey in these posts for anyone that wants to follow the same path.

Last post I mentioned using Rapco Paint to match certain parts of the frame including the color matching the mag release. Ended up working great for the RMR sealing plate (Pic 5) but not so much on polymer parts (Pic 4). I wasn’t surprised but even after two weeks of cure time, the paint flaked off. I was hopeful but should’ve expected that.

This led me to start researching other solutions and thats when I found The2ndTactical. Way down in the Google results, they sell almost every Glock OEM part, cerakoted in all the popular colors (FDE, ODG, Burnt Bronze, etc). Ended up grabbing a Gen4/5 Mag Release in FDE and it works great! (Pics 1-3). Cerakote held up through install and it feels legit. Im aware TangoDown makes one in Tan polymer but I prefer OEM so this was a nice development.

I also grabbed two OEM Slide Back Plates (one in FDE and one in Burnt Bronze) from them as well which is another harder part to find in tan colors. I will feature them in the next post concerning the upper when it comes back from Vigilante Machine.

Thanks for reading 👍

Decided to go full PB or at least mostly PB on my 19X project. Figured I’d share my progress and a discovery I made.

I want to keep my mag release polymer and I really do not like the options that are available OTS in Tan or FDE. My buddy has a sizeable collection of Rapco paints for rattle-canning his rifles. He put me on to the color code “30118 Camouflage Field Drab Brown” by Rapco. He got it as a close match to B5’s Coyote Brown.

Chose to spray my OEM mag release as an experiment. It’s a cheap part so I thought if it came out bad It wouldn’t matter. Turned out really good and the color match is spot on. May end up doing my RMR sealing plate and possibly slide back-plate if the coat on the mag release doesn’t wear off right away.

Just figured i’d share this for anyone chasing the peanut butter goodness lol

Not coming to write a dissertation but I see 50/50 split on Glockstore reviews in this sub, so I wanted to share a positive experience. A little Memorial day scoop. Took until Friday to fulfill and ship, but It just landed on my doorstep at 9:30am on a Sunday (which I wasn’t aware was possible) so thats cool. Gives me something to do today. Also, whoever packed my order understood the assignment and threw in the PB&J sticker, which is extremely based. That is all 👍

Don’t forget to take your Glocks out for a little rest and relaxation so they don’t get too stressed out 🇺🇸 Happy Memorial Day
