Well unless you want to mess with the trigger, the only accessories are:
Flashlight
Laser
More Mags
Sights
I don't think you can convert the 17 to .40 or .357sig
I don't know what spare parts you'd want. Glocks are pretty durable and the 9mm especially so. If you feel like you have to buy something, an extractor and firing pin are always good extra pieces.
extended mag and slide release is a must...
i've done the $.25 trigger job...

Pearce Glock Frame Insert (http://www.pearcegrip.com/gfi.htm), (aka "butt plug") about $6
Brooks Tactical Systems Agrip (http://www.brookstactical.com/), about $25. These things rock IMHO...
Glock factory night sights (http://www.glock.com/english/index_options.htm), $57 installed if you send it to Glock technical services. They will also go through your entire gun and check it out if it is not a new one.
I find the trigger, slide release and mag release to be great as-is, but I know lots of folks like to tweak those as well.

Do they charge for parts they replace? Can they have it sent back to my house? I didn't see any night sights but that is a pretty good deal for those and I could get my glock looked over too.

I don't think they charge for any worn internal parts, they do charge for additional upgrades and accessories. Yes, they ship directly back to Colorado addresses.
Call them and ask for technical services.
Bad part is they are a bit slow right now...
Trigger mods should be seriously considered before you do it, if it is a carry gun.

I assume you are saying you should seriously consider NOT doing any trigger mods if it is a carry gun?
If so, I agree...
Unlike some other pistols (like the P3AT in the picture above), the Glocks run extremely reliably right out of the box.
Yes that is what I mean. I try not to be a pussy and roll over on stuff, but just the thought of some prosecutor standing there feeding bullshit to a bunch of retarded jurors about how my "gun was moddified with a hair trigger to make it easier to kill" makes me sick.

lol o man.. i can see that happening exactly [ROFL2] o wait.. thats not funny at all... ok well thanks lots for all the input guys.. and i agree outta the box it shoots like a champ... any thoughts on the advantage arms 22lr kit... seems like a great idea with the price of ammo but i guess beacause of being in CA they only make 10 round mags... is there another company that maybe makes kits and perhaphs i can shoot it more than ten times...??? thanks again guys
Brooks Tactical Systems Agrip (http://www.brookstactical.com/), about $25. These things rock IMHO...
can i buy these locally anywhere???? whats a fair price?
There are no pistol mags over 10 rounds for .22 because they are rimfire cartridges and get rimlocked inside the magazine, apparently.

Maybe thats whats been happening with my 25rnd ruger 10/22 mag.
Is that when the lip of the 2nd stops the 1st one from sliding forward and into the chamber?
I've only heard of it, but that sure sounds like what is happening to me.
Makes sense... Any experience with the advantage arms 22lr kit?
On the .22 conversions, I never really saw the point. Buy an inexpensive 22 pistol (Wather P22, Ruger, etc) and keep the glock ready for action at all times. It's not like training with a G17 with zero recoil .22's is really going to help much anyway.
I've never seen the agrips locally. They sell for $25 + shipping on the brooks site, they have some links to other vendors getting down to about $20 plus shipping.
The point of a conversion kit is so you can practice with the same grip, weight, and trigger characteristics of your regular gun. Walthers, Rugers, Buckmarks, etc don't feel enough like a normal gun for some people.
I have NO experience with the AA kits, but I often hear good things about them, and never bad things. Well, I do hear that their customer service is down right terrible and it is better to get the stuff through a dealer than directly through them.
The point of a conversion kit is ...
I know the intent, but IMHO it just doesn't work for me... Without the recoil, I might as well be shooting my Walther P22 as a G23 with a .22 kit on it, just for fun, not counting it as training. It is also pretty close enough in size/weight/sights, and hey, no muzzle flip! And again, keep the Glock always ready for use unless it is field stripped for cleaning.

Well there is another .22 conversion out there for cheaper than AA and it has 15rnd mags. I think it is Ceiner or something...
