You realize, of course, I own a dozen Glocks' ...

Just yesterday I added a Glock Zilla (G40) to my collection.

You're in good company I suppose. Last I counted I owned more than a dozen, myself. 3 of which are 19s.

I'm a fan of the G19 also. Have three.
In the last year I bought three MR920 Shadow Systems. I really like the Shadow Systems also.

I hate the G19 as much as I do the 26. The 17 is my fave.

I built mine for right around $200 - PSA Dagger! Watch for blem lowers and buy an upper when on sale. I've added a few things since then, but still below $300 with a couple of mags.

I built a couple-- they only function well with original Glock magazines-- One worked perfectly from the first shot, the other one took almost 200 rds to break in but it works perfectly now

There is a reason for that price point.

Its not an authentic Glock. Its a clone. The parts are maybe made by various sources sold under an umbrella name house brand, theres no guarantee it will be reliable. Most likely its at that price point because of overstock issues dropping the price point.

Most of these custom builds do run reliably though. Its not exactly something I would recommend to a new gun owner but it often is worth it as a backup gun for someone whos experienced with guns. For some people it might be the only gun they can afford.

To each their own. If you're patient you can find OEM Glocks for 200-300.

I don't have total faith in all the clones that are out there. I'll continue to stick to OEM Glocks. Especially when it comes to the frame and internals (both upper and lower). All my Glocks are set up to be carried.

Slides and barrels only get bought from reputable companies.

Yes. We know.

I've built several G19 and G17 clones, with either the sct or p80 lowers. Costs vary with lowers, and which slides and barrels I use, but I really like the zaffiri precision stuff

Hey how has everyone's builds been holding up? I'm looking for suggestions on slides and parts kits.
