I've got this G17 just laying around with no real job to do these days; so, I'm contemplating turning it into a GSSF Unlimited gun. I was thinking along the lines of a trigger system from GlockTriggers.com along with an extended and ported barrel from Lone Wold Distributors.

Of course, if I'm going to go unlimited, maybe I should do so with the G34 and one of these six port barrels.

Perhaps combine the trigger system and ported barrel with some sort of sight mount and optic, and it would be good to go.

I hate to take one of my Glocks out of a carry setup though. What say y'all?

I think the whole idea of an "unlimited" pimp gun goes against everything I know you to stand for. That being said ... I don't think it would matter which of those two you do with since you carry neither of them.

do it to a chrome 1911 but please not the glocks....

everytime i see a race gun picture i think its a joke pic. kinda like how people put huge wings and body kits on hondas to make fun of them... but then i realize they like how the gun looks...

GSSF Unlimited would be the only "need" I would have for such a gun.

I'm not normally into such weapons and typically look upon them with disdain, but I am curious to see the difference it would head to head.

I can't see it unless you need it for competition... but it might make a neat range gun.

well yes in a controlled setting it will perform better but drop it on the ground a few times and see how accurate that red dot is.. at the USPSA events i shoot at the guys with these silly red dot race guns have them speciffically zero'd for 5 yards and then when theres a small target at 25 yards they cant hit it for the life of them. they dont know wether to aim higher or lower of what. they just burn a crap load of ammo until it goes down.

I think it would be interesting to build a race gun... titanium striker... slick trigger... ported barrel... blast deflector... dot sight... although I don't really understand how those dot sights work...

Although David Sevigny has done pretty well with the stock Glocks...

One issue I have with many of the optics is that I have trouble picking up the dots; so, an optic sight would be something I would have to research thoroughly.I also don't know how much I would like having the sight that much higher than the my normal sighting plan.

In the end, I'd probably wind up going with an iron or fiber optic sight.

This is all more of a theoretical exercise. I was looking at something on Lone Wolf's sight and ended up looking at the ported barrels and just got to thinking about it.

yea i notice alot of the guys with red dots dont straighten out either arm. they have both elbows bent alot when shooting. perhaps due to sight picture needs.

Shoot my 19c first and see how you like it first. That's my opinion.

Was planning to do that anyway.

Hey its not like the changes are forever. Give it try and if its not for you return it to stock Glock. Nothing wrong with trying something new
