Looking for reputable brands but not looking for competitive shooting traits either. My firearms are used for the intended purpose! Thanks in advance!

My humble opinion on upgrading a glock is to swap the sights, add a light, and leave it alone. Just about any other “upgrade” is going to chip away at reliability.

If you look through the for sale ads here you will see a ton of customized Glocks. Some are listed for over a grand. It is my opinion that most are listed because they don't run worth a **** after they changed out all the factory parts.
Keep it original and reliable.

Since you state that you are using your Glocks for their intended purpose, then I do not recommend putting aftermarket parts in them. One of the side effects of whatever you are going to do is to decrease the reliability.

I've been tinkering with Glocks for 30 years, and I've found that no one beats Glock at what Glock does; make Glocks and Glock parts/magazines.

Anything you buy will cost more than the Glock part it is replacing, and reduce reliability. Instead of trying to buy your way into enhanced capability, take the money you plan on wasting on Glock downgrades, and put it towards ammo and range time. Find an Instructor that knows what they're doing, and have them work with you.

I've been running my training school for almost 30 years now. The most reliable handguns that I see in my courses are stock, or nearly stock, Glocks.

The most unreliable handguns that I see in my courses are Glocks that have been modified. I'd take a stock XD over some dude's Glock with a bunch of Apex/ZEV/Zaffiri/Timney/etc. crap in it.

Tinker with a 2011. Keep the Glock as is in case you ever need it

There’s probably 2 people I’d buy a tricked out Glock from… cmshoot and 9BarSolutions . At least I’d know reliability was the priority.

They’d both probably talk me out of it though… leaving all my money in my pockets. Not all gunsmiths are good or ethical. 🤣
