What kind of aftermarket parts do you run in/on your primary OC handgun??

I'm curious to hear what aftermarket parts all of you are running in/on your pistols and how well the parts are working. I'm especially interested in those of you who carry Glocks, since that is what I carry. Currently mine is stock, but I hope to be swapping out some parts very soon.

Sig P229/40 Stock except for sights. Need the change for bifocals. Sucks getting old eyes.

My question is if everything works well for you in what you have, why are you looking at changing anything? You don't want to change anything that risks reliability in a carry gun.

Just my $.02...

Well the two parts I'd like to swap out are my slide release lock and slide stop. An extended slide release lock would make for easier taking down of my gun for cleaning. And I'd really like an extended bullet style slide stop because I really don't like the stock slide stop on a glock. To me, if your hands are sweating and you've lost your fine motor skills due to a stressful situation it would be easier to use if I needed to change mags for reloading or clearing a jam. If I do end up changing anything I'll make sure I'm comfortable with the changes before I carry.

Glock G23, Gen5 LaserLyte rear-mounted sight, rubberized grip tape, extended mag release. (I got into laser sights before I had my cataract surgeries, and currently have them on 4 of my handguns. My G26 has the factory rear sight and a Hi-Viz front, and grip tape, and my G17 has an internal LaserMax, grip tape, and extended mag release) Pax...

I bought a full size EAA Witness .45 with the "Wonder" in 2009. The first thing I did was to order and install a Hogue (one piece) combat grip. Later, when I determined that, for medical reasons, a .45 was a bit too much, I ordered a 9mm conversion kit for it.

And that's it! It's perfect now, so there's no more to do. That's why I have so many OTHER firearms to play with!

I want to send in my M&P slide to Bowie Tactical to get it set up for a reflex sight

I have an extended slide stop and slide loch on my G21. So much better.

Ergo grips on an otherwise stock Kimber Custom Covert II. With 1911s, and a good stocking dealer, you play with 20 models on the shelf until you find the one with the sights, recoil spring, safety, slide stop, mag well, mag release, color (etc), that you want!
