#CustomGlock

Culper Precision recently introduced their Block19 customization option for the third and fourth generation Glock 19 pistols. The Block19 customization is designed to resemble a gun made of Lego bricks, but of course, be fully functional at the same time. Aside from resembling a Lego gun, Culper Precision machines the slide to actually accept Lego (or aftermarket bricks), and comes with a kit of bricks and superglue to fashion a makeshift red dot and iron plastic sights. The owner of Culper Precision, Brandon was kind enough to explain more below:

General Austin Scott Miller is a warfighter who knows a thing or two about firearms, and has previously been noted for preferring a 1911 over the Army’s recently-retired standard-issue sidearm, the M9. Now the former Delta operator has been seen carrying a modified Glock in Afghanistan, rather than the current M17/ M18 handguns that have been chosen to replace the aging Beretta service pistol. Of particular interest is that this is no stock Glock, as some Special Operations personnel have been authorized to use in the past. The General’s gun features some auspicious modernizations commonly associated with high-end handguns, often meant for competition. In these photos, you can see Miller is employing a red-dot optic, a mag extension, and a compensator added to the gun’s muzzle. It’s not clear whether his holster is concealing the weaponlight that would be needed to qualify the pistol as a full-blown Roland Special-style sidearm, but given the General‘s other accessory choices, it would not be surprising if this was the case.

Welcome everyone to the 19th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you missed any one of our other articles, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this gat a sweet deal or only have fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Welcome to the third article in our Build Your Own Glock series. By the end of this article, you will have YOUR custom build in your hands completed. I will go over how I initially break in the action, not necessary but I noticed good results. I get long in my articles, so my dear readers I will do my best to keep it shorter, to help I will have more pictures.

Welcome to part 2 in our Glock building adventure. Up to now, all we have done is removing material from our 80 percent receiver. The jig should have made this rather easy. Did you take your time? If you did, you should be happy with the result! Thank you all who are following, your interest means a lot. We appreciate your time, it literally keeps us here.

Welcome to TFB’s series on building your own Glock. In this series, we will take an 80% frame and a pile of parts, and assemble a safe and consistent G19. Believe it or not, it is very easy, and perfectly legal. You will see that with a bit of patience and minimal equipment you CAN build your own Glock. If you go with the standard parts and look, you may not save too much. If you want to go the custom route or are interested in having a pistol you created, AKA a “ghost gun”, this is the way to go.

The Firearm Blog has partnered with Lone Wolf Distributors to bring you a series on building your own Glock. Buying an 80% receiver is not new to the gun industry. Glocks are the rage, why not build one the way YOU want it? Get yourself a hot gat, and loose that Fudd factory gun. Get that sweet trigger in there, and pay no attention to the factory fanboys.

Check out the modular 9mm pistol from ZRO Delta! Want different backstraps? Or how about changing from a compact to a full-size in the field? Also, change from 15 round capacity to 17 on the fly.

While roaming the tundra that is Shot Show I found L2D Combat. I am glad I stopped to talk. What caught my eye initially was they do custom work on Caniks. Being a fan of Caniks I stopped to checkout L2D Combat. Greeting me was Ian Heunis their CEO, and soon I learned more about their operation.  They do far more than just Canik slides. They do custom aftermarket on most major brands. Ian is passionate about quality aftermarket options and focuses on the slide and barrel. His slides are very well made and cheaper than other brands that have much less work. The machining was quality, and the Cerokote was flawless. They are damn sexy.

Wilson Combat has introduced another series of special edition weapons customized to the specifications of a renown industry professional. This time they offer two weapons – Gen 4 Glock 19 and Glock 26 pistols. These handguns are made to meet the requirements of Paul Howe.

Lantac had a bunch new parts at the 2018 SHOT Show, including their Bolt Action AR-15 BCG. Customized Glocks are all the rage right now and Lantac had a new line of custom Glock 19 and 17 parts on display.

You might be asking “Patrick, if the Glock is ‘perfect’ why did you feel the need to alter the frame?” An easy answer, because it isn’t perfect. The truth is the Gen4 Glock 19 is about as close to perfect as I have found for a handgun but there are some changes that I wanted to make to tailor the firearm to me.
