[QUOTE="Ignored Member, post: 1668281, member: 8613"] Here's the story, A couple years back I sent my Glock 19 off to Robar industries (hence the screen name I'd like to change) to have a grip reduction and stipple done on my pistol. It looked great at the time but as years passed I began to not like the sandpaper-esque look to it so I finally decided to grow a pair and change it up to something I liked better. I thought they just chopped and remolded the plastic for the grip reduction, but turns out they chopped off the backstrap, threw it away and filled it in with some JB weld and textured over that. After drilling out the old JB weld, I used an AR grip that I had laying around for my backstrap. It already had the curve I needed for the backstrap so it was the perfect candidate for parts. And a perfect candidate for practicing my texturing. I cut the piece I needed and secured it with some new JB weld. After that dried I started melting plastic and filling the gaps and holes. I then sanded and filled gaps, then sanded and filled gaps, then sanded and filled gaps.... you get the idea, it went on for quite a while. After I had everything contoured and sanded to perfection I started the texturing. (my camera battery died about this time so unfortunately I didn't get picures) After tedious work with the heat pen and many plastic fumes inhaled, I got what I think is the perfect Glock. Enjoy the pics. I think it came out way better than what Robar industries did. If anyone is interested in having me do this to their Glock, I'll hook you up. $150 for grip reduction and stipple. $75 for just stipple. That's the cheapest price around. Shoot me a PM if interested.
