5 factory upgrades your Glock needs

The downside to making the most prolific pistol in the world is the amount of criticism your product faces from seeing such widespread use. The Glock pistol suffered its success from ultra large-scale testing, since so many different departments adopted it. When Gaston Glock began developing the weapon for Austrian military use in 1982, he probably didn’t envision tailoring the grip for the hand shape and size of both genders of every race on the planet. In all likelihood, Gaston developed the weapon to fit the hands of his larger Nordic countrymen. Consequently, many issues impacting smaller shooters came to light. While the biggest complaint dealt with grip size, shooters accustomed to single action only weapons weren’t thrilled with the striker-fired Glock’s safety trigger. There are other issues too, but most impact only a tiny percentage of shooters. Thankfully, with five factory-made upgrade parts, your Glock can overcome every major complaint against it.
