Removing Finger Grooves on a Glock

[steelfingers]

Yeah, I need to do this too. It didn't use bother me too much before, until I got to reading where a lot of folks found it caused them significant pain and grief, now it's almost unbearable to shoot my G19. So I'll tell ya what: Bring your Glock on over and we'll undercut your trigger guard, get rid of the dang finger grooves (dremel, files, sandpaper large blunt knives, axe, saw, etc. ) and then if it looks good, and we don't fubar it up too much, we'll do mine.

Ha. I thought about doing that. Watched all the vids and almost did it. My luck I'd screw it up and you can't fix screwed.
My natural grip hits the corner of the trigger guard and not comfortable at all. Rounding out and undercutting this spot would make this gun about a thousand times better to shoot and would correct some of the grip angle issues.
You do yous, we go shoot, then I'll think about mine......

I erased all of the old pics I had of Glocks I removes the finger grooves from.

Well...dang. Thanks anyway.

I've done A few of them. Even s mild undercut on the trigger guard goes a long way. I don't know why Glock would make that area so small and uncomfortable. It's one of the biggest complaints about them. I always use a Drexel to remove the grooves and emory cloth to smooth out the front strap. It's hard to sand the plastic and make it look good next to the unsanded parts. The finishes of the two are never the same. Stippling makes that a non issue. Plan it out and go slow, it takes time. Don't get impatient and rush it.

Might try heating up the lower before you start grinding.

Another question to consider: if one removes the finger grooves and smooths out the front strap on a Gen 4 G 19, and if then choosing to install a talon grip instead of stippling, should you go with the talon grip to fit a Gen 2 or a Gen 5? I mean, you now have a smooth Gen 4; which equates to the same as a Gen 2 or is it a Gen 5? Is there any difference?

Bicycle inner tube does great. (not joking)

It should be the same piece of sandpaper cutout. If not, you could just trim with scissors.

Thanks. Not too awfully familiar with the talon grip things...I am going to go look at a couple of guns one of the members had done by a pro then make a decision which way I want to go...using steelfinger's gun as a test case of course.

Yes, I have several pieces cut out for that exact purpose already should I need to go the low-rent option.
