What’s the tactical equivalent of putting a spoiler on a Honda Civic?

You guys and gals just wait till I finally break down and get my hands on a Hi-Point...

I saw a pistol mounted bayonet at a gun shop.

Lets be honest the fact the glock made the gen 3 RTF models signifies they realized that perhaps the grip texture could use a little more grit

I was very gently teasing there. Maybe it does have a slippery grip. I fired them a few times and I didn’t really care for how they felt in my hand so I didn’t buy one. I’ve certainly replaced grips on guns until I found ones I preferred, but if the grips could not be replaced (as on a Glock) I’d be more likely to move on to another gun before trying a diy fix to a design that didn’t suit me.

You buy a hammer. If you don’t like the way it swings, maybe that’s not your hammer.

I've actually modified hammers, axes and knives into better versions of stock

That is admirably resourceful.

Ported slides without a ported barrel also? lol

Those are like fake intakes on cars, lol.

RTF2 is my favorite Glock texture. I’ve got a G17.3 RTF2 that I’ll never sell.

I didn't even know this was a thing until this thread. You have pics?

Took this when I bought it, I was so happy I’d found one, haha!!

The RTF2’s would often have the ‘fish gill’ slides, like mine.

NOT true. Lowering reciprocating weight is the #1 way to reduce recoil, this goes for AR15s as well as pistols. For example an M&P 5" slide is designed so that it weighs the same as the 4.2", the only weight increase is from the longer barrel which doesn't reciprocate. Slide lightening is generally pretty ugly but it has a direct effect on performance.

Did you mean to respond to someone else?

no, putting holes in slides i.e. "ported slides with no ported barrel" is a way that people lighten their slide for performance reasons. For instance the Kimber 2k11

Stipple jobs. Way to dress out that Gen 3, kiddo.

Came here to say this one...

You know what I mean — technically it might do something, but we all know 90% of the reason it’s there is because it looks cool.

What piece of gear, accessory, or setup modification immediately makes you think, “Yep… added at least +10 tactical horsepower”?

Bonus points if you own one and are willing to admit it.
