I would add an extended magazine that gets close to being flush with the barrel. I will add a Knoxx Spec Ops stock soon. See it here:

That said, the "keep it simple stupid" advice is good too. The modifications don't make it any more lethal than a stock gun. Look to quality ammo for that.

A pistol grip/folding stock. The gun will handle and conceal better. There is a reason "assault" rifles have pistol grip stocks.

I agree with not adding too much.

It came with a pistol grip AND an adjustable stock (both attached at the same time)

I think a light and a sling are all I am going to add.
That being said any ideas on a light?
Thanks

I wouldn't buy any hardware.

Buy a bunch of ammo and learn to shoot your gun effectively. Maybe even go to a class. The gun is perfectly functional and deadly right out of the box.

We added the Knoxx stock to ours, and I swear it really does reduce recoil. A worthy upgrade, IMHO. :supergrin:

I would add a recoil pad if the gun doesn't already have one.The only other item I would add is a light.YMMV.tom.

I would second the Knoxx SpecOps stock or at the very least some type of recoil pad. It will make practice sessions much more comfortable. Some type of light system is very nice to have as well.
