DIY Glock: Lower success
Mentioned I was building a Glock from the ground up, mostly because it’s cool to select your own parts and also to learn something. Assembled parts after I installed the trigger:
(lol @ Vickers professional gunsmith warning)
Anyhoo, it’s fairly easy to do. Just watch this video. The slide lock spring is like the AR-15’s detent spring in that I sent it flying across the room. But I digress. As to the parts I selected, well here goes:
The frame is a Grey Ghost Precision Compact. I chose this because it comes with most common frame modifications already done. And, for those of you it matters to, it has a 1911 grip angle.
Vickers Tactical extended magazine release and slide stop.
An Apex Tactical Flat Faced Trigger Enhancement Kit
And a competition trigger spring whose manufacturer I have forgotten.
The rest is OEM Glock stuff.
And the rest is stock Glock. Up next, the upper half.

Every time I make an AR, I use a 4-40 tap on the detent hole, cut the spring down a little, and seal it in there with a 4-40 set-screw.
Never flies out EVER, after that, and works fine (because it’s not like the detent spring needs PERFECT AND EXACT tension; it ain’t trigger-group stuff).
