TM Glock 17 Upgrades - Opinions needed

[original poster]

Hi all,

I ordered a TM Glock 17 and 3 spare mags which came the other day, very happy with it and looking to upgrade it as a bit of a project.

After a ridiculous amount of research I've come up with the below list of upgrades -

PGC CNC Machined metal slide
PGC metal outer barrel
PDI 6.01 tightbore barrel
Guarder enhanced 150% recoil spring and spring guide
Guarder high output valves
Nine Ball purple gas routers


After watching a few YouTube videos I feel totally confident I'll be able to install of the the above myself with little problem, appreciate the metal slide is probably going to require some adapting to fit perfectly which is also fine.

My main reason for the above upgrades is to -

increase the weight of the pistol (the TM Glock 17 is rather light as standard)
Increase the FPS
Increase the kick

any opinions on the above choices and anything else you'd add at all?

Thanks in advance!

Id your increasing the kick-fps and adding a 150% spring it may be worth looking into a reinforced body aswell, dont want the thing imploding esp if your guna run green gas or propain

Yeah Guarder do a new body made out of a slightly different plastic but I've heard the standard TM one is actually stronger!
