The Canik MC9 Prime I just picked up is going to be bone stock. The gun needs no further modification of any kind. The Canik M04 is working out pretty well for me on the gun. Perfect co-witness level (about 1/4).
 
Got a canik tp9sf and after shooting it the first time i dont feel it needed anything.shootd greeat trigger is very nice and its accurate.

My older colt commander i had the trigger lightened up a little and now it shoots very good too.
 
I have a 1971 Colt MK4 Series 70 Government. 45 that I bought in 1992 for $425.00. Completely original stock condition including the accurizor bushing which has never given me a problem.
 
2.

A G26 I am not very impressed by and rarely shoot or carry. I cannot be bothered to to do anything with it.

The other is my 80’ s P226 I have owned for nearly 30 years. The only changes are springs after nearly 100k rounds.
 
Yes. when I bought it.. After I bought it, it's never the same again, BUT i do prefer to use only OEM parts.
 
Stock isn't a bad thing as some claim to be
 
I personally have never altered or modified a handgun from the condition I bought it in.
There was a S&W mod 19 that had been refinished. I might change grips/panels otherwise they’re all stock.
Recently I acquired a SA 1911 Range Officer in 9mm. It’s broken in, has some handling and holster marks.
She’s clean inside. I was thinking about having a pro gunsmith fine tune it for flawless rapid fire. :oops:
Just kidding. ;)
 
I started shooting handguns only this year and I feel that I dont need to modify any of my handguns. If I dont feel like shooting a particular one at the moment - I just pick up another from the safe. I`m debating on changing the trigger on the glock, adding dawson sights to several other pistols, investigating better barrels, but my results are limited by my ability to shoot rather than a fancy addons and I know that for sure, so I`d rather spend my money on training. Just imo of course
 
Most of my guns, pistols and rifles, are kept stock (except for adding scopes to rifles - kids, you'll understand when you get older). The pistol exceptions are the Ruger 22/45 MK IIIs that have had the mag disconnects removed, the Glock 26 I swapped out the serrated trigger for a factory smooth trigger, some red dots on a few P320 slides, and general playing Legos with the P320 configurations (9mm compact, subcompact, full slides, .40 compact and full slides, carious grip modules, etc depending on the mood). Everything else though stays pretty much as is.
 
1911s. 45 acp: Les Baer and Springfield custom tgo. 9mm: nighthawk

For me as a Glock guy, they are unshootablev in stock form. Lol
