![]() With Sprinco’s system, you can generally you can shoot +P ammunition without battering you or the gun, while still being able to run practice loads.įrom start to finish, assembling the gun took less then an hour-and that included some time in the manual (it’s been a while since I attended armorer’s school). ![]() Testing ammunition is part of the process, making them perfect for me. I’ve used several over the years and they are great for those who use lots of different loads. His barrels have always been accurate, easy to install, and provide completely supported chambers.Ĭompleting the setup was a recoil management system from Sprinco. Kevin at KKM Precision provided one of his drop-in match grade barrels. Most of the remaining parts were ordered from Lone Wolf and Brownells. An oversized magazine release is standard, as well as a front rail that eliminates the dead space between it and the slide. Its finger grooves are less pronounced, with a bit more aggressive checkering, and there’s a high cut under the trigger guard. These frames offer replaceable grip straps, offering a grip angle more in line with the 1911. Given my positive experience with the Timberwolf standard frame, one of the compact frames was secured. I used an EDS19 with Trijicon sights for this pistol. Everything they make has proven rugged, well-engineered, and flawless. Swap them out and you get a four-pound trigger, front cocking serrations, and your choice of standard or Trijicon HD sights. It comes completely assembled, minus the barrel and return spring. I’ve tested almost everything Primary Weapons Systems has built over the years, and I was very excited was time to give their new drop-in Enhanced Duty Slide (EDS) a try. The author opted for the PWS EDS19 with Trijicon HD sights for his build. This time I would build what I’ve ended up calling the “Timberwolf EDS19,” combining the name of the frame I’d be using and the slide. When the need arose to test out a new slide for a Glock 19 (the Primary Weapon Systems Enhanced Duty Slide), I decided it was time to repeat the build process. I sold the not-Glock 17 to a friend of mine a few months later, and it is still running like a charm. After about half an hour of assembly and testing for fit and tolerances, it was put to the test. I ordered the Timberwolf standard frame from Lone Wolf and everything else from Brownells. Buying a stock gun to swap out seemed counterproductive, so I took to Brownells. Sure enough, it was possible to fill out everything else from there. I took a look at Lone Wolf’s Timberwolf frame, and it seemed to meet my needs without a wait for a gunsmith. My friend commented that in the time it took me to customize a stock Glock to my liking, “you could probably build a Glock 17 just from aftermarket parts.” Well, he was right. For me, using them consistently requires a grip reduction, some trigger work, and an aftermarket barrel. Having tried them all, they are just not comfortable, nor is the grip angle favorable. While the large-framed Glock pistols (G21, G20) remain some of my favorites, none of the mid-framed guns fit me well.
