Best Glock ever made for concealed carry

Preferably not illuminated and not too tall, just enough to be functional.

I have 1900 caps busted through this slap and the slide release is well broken in. It was pretty tight at first but now it’s very usable but still a little tight.

Thinking about getting the extended slide release but not sure if it’s really needed since this is broken in.

Went to go bust some caps after donating blood today. Put another 200 rounds down, brining the total to 1900.

Somewhere at about 1850, I got a failure to eject, then another one not too long after. Then 30 rounds with no issues. Wish I had time to pop pop sleet skeet some more but I had to go. A few times before the failures the recoil was feeling real squishy, almost like an HK dual recoil spring assembly in a USP.

I’m pretty confident this was all due to some weak loads from (edit- freedom munitions), so I’ll go put a couple hundred rounds of federal through it this week to make sure.

I shoot a pretty even mix of 124 and 115 but the FM ammo was all 115.

I got my wife an HK VP9A1 and she wants a dessert theme cerakote job.

Looking for recommendations for a US based place to send it that will do good work.

I got her a Trijicon RMR with it - is it a bad idea to cerakote that? I’d prefer to get it coated as long as it won’t get damaged in the process.

I was reading the manual and it says to replace the recoil spring every 3,000-5,000 rounds.

That’s every 3-5 months. Is that not a bit much?

I’m seeing grayguns hybrid adjustable will reduce reach by about 2.5mm. Is this the best option?

Got this VP9A1 F (F for Female) for my wife yesterday and she shot it for the first time today.

The trigger reach is a little long so I need to reduce it. What trigger is best to do this while maintaining reliability?

(Her target at 7 yards, she started shooting last month)

Not sure if I should get the OEM plate or the C&H

Also seems like it won’t cowitness with OEM sights - any recommendations?

Amazon sent me two of these when I ordered one so now I need another Glock.

Will they work well with a 19 COA? Should I just get another 43x?

Who has these sights and what gun and optic are you using?

sharing some pics of my G17 I just got back from a local company ( Coastal Cerakote) . The last color on the slide had started to fade and was showing signs of wear so It was time for a new look I went with the Joker theme. Lmk what yall think . *I’ll post some before pics below *

I know they are from the hand fitting process, but what do they mean? Are they the number of the assembler, a batch number to keep fitted parts together…?

I clean my carry guns after every range trip and I shoot a good amount.

I got this gun last month and today I put 200 rounds through it, bringing it to 1400 rounds. Every time I shoot I take the afterburner off and clean everything and retorque it. It’s worth it for how well it shoots, but I can’t say it isn’t a little tedious.

I like the look of combat textiles but I’ve heard they can start to fail if you sweat a lot.

I don’t sweat a lot but I’m still worried it will fail sooner than I’d like.

What should I try next if/when they fail?

I don’t like the boomer styling of Hogue rubber grips or the third world looks of hockey tape.
