The slide stop lever is preferred usually by novice shooters and users that haven\u2019t spent much time with the gun, because the lever is more accessible, and much quicker to use, thus reducing the time between magazine changes.<\/p>\n<p>The lever is not overall too damaging to the pistol\u2019s aesthetics, but it is useful and that\u2019s what counts \u2013 this little, inexpensive addition may mean a great deal in a life or death situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inexpensive, easily installed.<\/li>\n<li>Significantly improves the handling of the slide of the weapon.<\/li>\n<li>Quickens the reload time of the weapon.<\/li>\n<li>A good addition for less experienced users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>None that we can think of!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Extended_Magazine_Release_Lever\"><\/span><strong>2. Extended\u00a0Magazine Release Lever<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An extended magazine release lever is a preferred choice for novices and professionals alike. This extended lever will increase the accuracy of your finger when wanting to release the magazine, and thus it will increase the speed of reloading the pistol.<\/p>\n<p>Because the stock release lever is rather short, the new one will ensure that you do not have to search for it, which may prove critical when you\u2019re under pressure (hopefully, you won\u2019t be), and many law enforcement and military branches swear by this little accessory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to install.<\/li>\n<li>Sticks out more, so you will find it more easily.<\/li>\n<li>Widely regarded by civilian users, law enforcement officers, and military personnel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Because it sticks out, there is a slight danger of accidentally releasing the magazine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Glock_Trigger_Spring_Replacement_%E2%80%93_8lb_for_Carry\"><\/span><strong>3.\u00a0Glock Trigger Spring Replacement &#8211; 8lb for Carry<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The trigger system on a Glock sidearm is quite good, but it is far from perfect. Many users that have a distinct taste for the Glock often find the stock trigger too heavy. The stock five-and-a-half pound trigger on a standard Glock\u00a0 will impede on the accuracy of your\u00a0shots, especially for those who are not accustomed to the trigger safety.<\/p>\n<p>This NY1 trigger spring replacement will smooth out the take up and give you a crisper break and reset.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smoother trigger pull<\/li>\n<li>Crisper trigger break<\/li>\n<li>Easily installed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Combine with the 3.5mm connector for best results<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Glock_Grip_Extensions\"><\/span><strong>4.\u00a0Glock Grip Extensions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re like me, you don&#8217;t love having only three fingers on your Glock\u00a027.

This is why many\u00a0opt to change them and upgrade to steel-made sights that are sure to last a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of installing night sights is obviously for the visibility of your sights in low-light conditions.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t already, check out our post on the best <a href=\"http:\/\/thetacticool.com\/the-best-night-sights-for-glock-top-picks\/\">night sights for Glock<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, you will have to acquire a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2budNda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> sight tool<\/a>\u00a0or you may want to attend a Glock Sport Shooting Foundation event, and they will install your sights for free.<\/p>\n<p>Pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tritium sights are perfect for low or no light conditions and ideal for a home defense firearm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Accessories_Are_Right_for_Your_Glock\"><\/span>Which Accessories Are Right for Your Glock?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ve told you about a few of our favorite accessories for Glock pistols that we feel are worth the money.
