Glock engraving/customization?

**ByblosHex** · July 16th, 2010, 04:42 PM

Anyone have any pictures they'd like to share?

I am considering getting my G19 engraved but first I want to know what experiences others have had with this process. I don't want to risk the reliability or funtionality of my firearm and I'm no expert on the subject.

I was thinking maybe a simple "U.S.M.C." on one side and an Eagle Globe and Anchor on the other side. What do you think?

No pictures at the moment but it only cuts through the tenifer and won't do anything to reliability. It's a giant thick piece of metal, they already engrave the numbers in, just get it done by a pro! Preferably one with a military discount.

. I wouldn't recommend engraving say the trigger bar for example.

And quotes are nice but I'm sure it could be used in court against you on the small chance you are in a shooting. I like your idea.

How could it be used against me?

Lots of LE departments have engravings on their Glocks... at least I was able to find lots of them online.

I am very happy with my engraved 19. Had it done by rockyourglock.com. Its a cheap way to make a very common gun unique to you. I think the thing that could be used against you in court only applies when you start engraving phrases like "Die bitch" into your gun. Here is a link to some logos, the USMC insignia is there but no U.S.M.C. http://www.rockyourglock.com/mm5/mer...ode=MilitaryLE

That's what I meant, or putting JUSTICE on the side could be interpreted as you thinking you were judge jury executioner blah blah. I wouldn't want to give prosecution anything to hang me on. It's innocent enough until they get a hold of it and twist it around from a pretty decoration to a lifestyle.

USMC will only remind the jury of military training and commitment and is a great idea!

TBH having Purge the Unclean would be awesome on a gun (Nerd reference) but I would never carry it for fear of looking like a nutball.
