Add on for Glock 19?

[RoosterJC]

Picked up a G19 about a month ago...now seeing that they can be improved or made better with some add ons.
What have you added on that you really like?

A glock 17 magazine.

What have you noticed to be lacking or problematic while shooting it?

Ammo, plenty of magazines, and a good hybrid IWB holster. Night sights if yours doesn't have them. That's about it.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Throw some night sights on it and you'll be set.

This^. There is a lot you CAN do, but not a lot of it is needed. Learn to shoot it and manipulate it well and you will be in a better position to know what YOU want or need.

As for me, my EDC G19 has a Trijicon RMR red dot sight, a Spaulding bullets forward slide release lever (helpful for a lefty), and a Glock 3.5 # connector. None of which are essential, but they work well for me.

what can you add? LOTS of trigger time.

Nothing! Some guys suggest adding night sights, maybe a light or whatever to make it even better!
(Obvious answers were humorous...range time, ammo, G17 mag...ha ha)

Since your answers are around low light concerns, very valid concerns, I'd strongly recommend taking a low-light class to find out what you do and don't like, what works for you, etc. some require that you already have and bring your own gear. I'd be willing to bet that if you contacted rhino or obijohn here on INGO, you could arrange low light training that fits your needs and helps you find out what you might want to do for low light. I'm sure there other great training options, I just happen to be familiar with those guys and think they'd be a great resource and willing to work something out for you. Cedartop, who posted above, is excellent, but I'm not sure whether he offers any intro-level low-light classes, and you're closer to rhino and obijohn, geographically.

G19

Best thing I did was a grip reduction, points much better now.

I wasn't joking... you'd be surprised how many people only have the magazines that came with the gun and never buy any more, or who don't have a decent supply of ammo to shoot frequently, etc. A good holster is also a must, and a good gun belt as well.

Choke, best answer and good advice.
Thanks.

There are numerous things you can do to a glock, it just depends on your preference. I added the mag release extensions as well as the slide release extension. I also added night sites and a grip sleeve that just helps me...some people do not do anything and that is fine too, it is just preference. Hell you could even get it painted in pink of you were into that! My best answer would be throw some lead down range and get a feel for the weapon, then go from there
