Clear Glock - Anibal Salinas of @Weapons_armament_research cuts a range of his Glock grips with epoxy windows. Using an ETS transparent Glock magazine, he can see how many rounds are in the magazine without removing it or mentally keeping track of how many rounds he has loaded and fired.
The Glock is still a work in progress, I should be done with all the frame mods today. The windows are epoxy and fused in place, I can squeeze the grip (without magazine) with all my strength and I can't bend it more than I could stock. I plan to shoot it this weekend to put it through its paces, but I doubt anything will happen.

Now many will scratch their heads and ask "why would you do that"? I love it. If the windows do not come off and interfere with the function of the gun, then it has practical application. This is like a gas gauge in your car. Do you need it? Not if you just remember how far your car can go on a tank of gas, know how far you have driven and if you worry above. But don't we all do that? We are not all of the same mindset when it comes to having the same weapons or using the same techniques. We are all individuals with our own unique desires and motivations.

I could see this being useful in competition. Most competitive shooters mentally count or just say screw it, discarding a partially loaded mag for a new one. Now here you know how many judges are left. It looks cool too. If nothing else but pure aesthetics, the gun is clean to look at. Kind of like why companies cut their gun models.
Some will argue that the gas and gun carbon residue will cover the inside of the gun making the window clogged. Well back to competitive shooters, some of them clean their guns religiously after every game. Keep the gun clean and it won't be a problem.
Just look at how many PMAG windows there are in the world. Do they fail because there is a window? Does the window dirty or cause a disturbance in any way more than a regular PMAG does? Not that I know.
