I wanted to know what all of you thought of my g19 for 2 reasons. The first one being constructive criticism, and the second one being bragging rights (of course). :cool:
Allow me to list the things I added to it:
1. Laser Devices guide-rod laser. This one cost me the most -> roughly 300 clams. It has a pulsating laser that saves battery life and is supposedly easier for the user to see (don't know if that's necessarily true). It takes place of the guide rod and is activated using the supplied replacement slide lock which you push in to either side using the index finger of your firing hand, making it ambidextrous. To turn it off, you center it back up.
2. Trijicon ghost-ring sights. I've heard of some people disliking them, but I got them for much cheaper than standard night sights -> only $85. They consist of a 3-dot sight system with a ring for a rear sight. The cool thing about these sights is that the tritium sits up higher on the sights. So the sights are taller, almost looking like they were built for a silencer (this is probably not the case, but if you know the answer to this, please let me know).
3. Hogue "wrap-around" grip which I purchased for my small hands as much as for aesthetics.
4. Although this is technically a seperate purchase, I also have a streamlight M3 on stand-by the use of which I dedicated to this handgun alone. I have a seperate M6 tactical light for my Springfield Armory XD Tactical .40 so that both of my handguns have light and laser capability.
5. and last but not least, my trusty butt-plug... oops, I mean backstrap plug.;P
I was hoping for like-dislikes, advantages-disadvantages, but mostly, props to be honest. :cool:
I'll post a pic up here shortly. Unfortunately, the reason I don't have it at this moment is a long story.
Oh ya, the same goes for a website me and my good buddy are working on. We call it the "controlled pair" website. If you want to know what a controlled pair is, go to the site.

I did just about all of the static graphics for it. If you see anything non-static (moving graphics), my friend did that. Along with most of the coding. It's a joint website we're working on, and I think you'll enjoy what little is posted right now. Any constructive criticism would be great, and publicity would be very appreciated. Oh ya, and for you Firefox fans such as myself, it tends to have problems. I would suggest using IE for just a short while to view it. We're trying to work the kinks out on that.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
