I get a lot of questions on good accessories that I think are worthwhile to go with a new pistol. These are not in any order.

Spare recoil springs-no brainer. Buy 2 or 3 spare recoil springs and when your factory installed spring loses 1/2" install a new one. Easy.

Pin set. DO NOT let the loss of a 2$ pin or breakage of a pin be a deal breaker for you. I always have a pin set on hand in case of loss, damage or breakage.

Chamber cleaning tool. You can go 25,000 rounds without cleaning your barrel and you won't hurt a thing-but if your chamber is heavily fouled you may have issues. We make a handy chamber cleaning brush just for that reason.

Set of grips screws, especially if you have torx/allen. We offer slotted screws in AT colors also. Don't let your gun go down because you lost or broke a grip screw.

Also consider a spare recoil spring plug. One day, you will lose one in your shop or at the range and spend 6 hours looking for it.

A BIG +1 on the chamber tool. Even after heavy scrubbing with a regular bore brush, the chamber will often have significant carbon deposits remaining. This tool removes 99.9% of it in seconds. Worth every penny!
