    i would put lightening the trigger on the top of the list. for a COMP gun, for carry i'd leave it be.
    I've heard you can tighten up slide/frame fit by gently squeezing the slide in a vise. this also sounds like an excellent way to ruin a perfectly good slide, so proceed with caution. tight slide/frame fit will also improve your trigger slightly. if you unload your gun and slowly squeeze the trigger you'll notice the slide moves relative to the frame slighty as the trigger parts act on the striker.

    You have a Glock 19--a great duty/service pistol. If you want a match/target/bullseye pistol, then get an appropriate one. Don't try to make your G19 into something it isn't...

    I hate that Glockenstein article.

    The guy who wrote it is just a 1911 fanboy who hates Glocks.
    We miss you, AC.
    We miss you, ToddG.

    I dont want a match/target pistol. I just want my G19 to have the maximum performance possible.

    I agree with Doc, no matter what you do to a Glock, it still won't perform near as well as a pistol more designed for accuracy. It's a gun designed to be abused and put rounds on target, down range, not precision shooting.

    Are you able to out shoot the pistol? By this I mean are you able to fire the pistol with the performance that it, and not you, is the limiting factor? I am not doubting you, you could be the the best pistol shot in the world...but you need to ask yourself this.

    If not then your money is best spent on a case of 9mm ammo and perhaps a training class.

    I guess my expectations for a firearm are lower than most. If it works when I pull the trigger I am happy. I am definately the failure mode in the Glock system..

    I shoot well, I just want better. No tack driver, just small, tight groups!

    glock race guns are a legitimate persuit i'd say...
    usually made from a 17L or 34, but no reason you couldn't tune a G19 as well...
    i've put 7k+ through mine and still can't out-shoot it though, but i'm interested...
