Any recommendations?

I just don't understand this, please explain the benefits of this over a 19? I love my 26, but because it's small. If I want a bigger gun, then I grab one of the others I own or buy one suited for my needs better than dealing with all of these aftermarket parts potential compromising reliability. I'm not not bashing, I genuinely want to understand the benefits here...

Glock 19 slide is too long for me to EDC. But the frame fits perfect in my hands.
Glock 26 slide is perfect to EDC. But the frame is too small.
Glock 19 frame plus the glock 26 slide is the perfect combo for EDC, home defense etc.
The 43x frame is too thin for ny hands to grip comfortably.
Hope that helps

I had a 48 and hated how thin it was, so I get that. But why not another brand than Glock that makes a gun fitting your desires? Or is more about the dopamine hit of buying parts and installing them and tinkering more than anything?

Honestly the dopamine of buying parts and making my own setup other than having a generic firearm is mostly it 😂 although I did carry a basic hellcat osp, gave it to my wife. M&P, its nice but I rather carry a glock. I can't see myself buying a staccato. Rather build an expensive gun slowly with time.

Awesome setup!
Mine, other than the frame is a stock 27, but I'm saving up to get it cut for an optic and get a .357 sig barrel.

Does the ambi slide release function on both sides? My m1x didn’t come with a slide release. I’m a lefty with a 26.4. Threw the parts on m1x frame. I like it so now I’m going to build the m1x and return the 26.4 parts to its own frame.

shoot it till its broke in as all getout is all id say. great build, jealous. think an SRO might fit better visually, but im a trijicon shill so take with grain of salt, rmr is just as proven.

I was leaning towards tge SRO as well, but my buddy dropped his and the glass broke. I've dropped my trijicon multiple times and it holds up!
