Strike Industries Glock 17

There’s no doubt about it, we are now living in an age of instant gratification. Gone are the days of waiting… you want to watch an old movie? Don’t bother going out to rent one, stream it now. You need some more TP? Why waste the ten minutes going to the store when you can order it for same-day delivery? You’re craving a Popeye’s chicken sandwich? Why bother hitting the drive-thru when you can have it delivered? 

The funny thing is that in a way, the same can be said of our firearms. Customization of a pistol used to mean sending your parts off to a customizer or gunsmith for weeks or even months at a time. Sure, there are many artisans who still maintain a healthy 

wait list for their services, but for those who want to live in the here and now and wish to skip the wait, you now have instant options at your fingertips. 

Many companies now offer off-the-shelf parts that look and perform similarly to hand-customized components. One of these companies, Strike Industries, offers an entire line of custom aftermarket parts for Glock pistols. Aside from the stippled frame, the pistol pictured here was assembled with ready-to-ship, no-wait parts. Talk about instant gratification. Let’s examine some of the highlights of this ready-to-go pistol.
