Pimp My Glock - G30SF + Cold Bore Customs = AWESOME!!! - Page 2

OK guys, I've had 2 trips to the range with the new weapon and I absolutely LOVE it! Great feel, great grip, and the biggest thing... NO MORE CALLOUSES!!! Like I said, the main reason for doing this was to get rid of the harsh Gen 3 grip texture on the finger cutouts. It was so distracting that during a long range session I found myself focusing on the pain in my fingers and thinking, "Now this is going to hurt a bit." That thought is gone, and now I'm just thinking, "Front sight - Press!"

I like the feel of the new connector, too. The lighter, but not super light feel is great and seems to make the gun at least feel more accurate. My groups are about the same as before, but the fact is that I'm also trying some different ammo (Blazer 230 TMJ) that I got a great deal on through sgammo.

As far as the Frog Lube goes... I'm still undecided. It seems to work great on the frame and the outside of the barrel and slide. The slide and barrel are VERY slick, and I can't leave a fingerprint on the slide no matter how long I hold the gun. Clean up is pretty easy, too. The slide pretty much just wipes down, and so does the outside of the barrel.

All in all I am VERY happy with the way my G30sf turned out, and will keep trying a few things here and there after I get these new rounds dialed in. I'll keep using the Frog Lube, too, just to see how it holds up after a few months. I'll post back when I have some more range time under my belt!

Now that the grip has been reduced, have you noticed that it prints less? Or have you not had any issues with it printing either way?

Awesome. I've been eyeballing that Executive texture for a Glock 32. After reading this, I'm going to do it. I'm thinking finger grooves removed, hump removed, bobtailed and textured.

Nice.

GThirtyTwo · 08-21-2012, 05:09

Looks very, very nicely done.

You may want to rethink the connector if it's a carry piece, especially if it's not actually helping your accuracy (but even if it was, most pros don't recommend going below stock weight for a carry piece).

The only issue I had with printing was in the finger grooves. I'm a sales guy, so I don't have the toughest hands. The texturing on the stock frame actually caused callouses right below my second knuckle and some pain during a long range session.

That issue is gone, and I do notice a consistent, stable, but not too aggressive grip. I think that Executive texture is absolutely perfect for me!

I'm anxiously awaiting a NY1 trigger, so it will be paired with that (a valid combo even for LE). If that doesn't work, I'll probably go back to a highly polished stock with a #6 trigger spring.

I think your 30sf looks fantastic. I personally am not a fan of grip reductions and texturing but yours truely did come out looking as if it were done by the factory. Great job!

roger123 · 08-21-2012, 14:49

Looks good, I really like the trigger guard.

jhc37013 · 08-22-2012, 03:51

I've never seen any mods to the grip or frame I like until now, wow that is very nice.

G.Custer · 12-23-2012, 10:09

Lane looks he did a great job on your 30SF, is the "executive texture" aggressive enough vs the "carry texture" ?

Consort · 01-23-2013, 13:37

When you sent your gun in for the work, did you have to fully dis-assemble the frame? (I have always had trouble removing the slide and magazine releases) Was wondering if they could be left in.

Zelesnik G17 · 01-23-2013, 14:03

The trigger guard looks great. So does the rest of the work, but the guard is sweet!

Dogbite · 01-23-2013, 18:15

Thats nice work!

Wade-19 · 01-24-2013, 09:15

Your 30 looks great ! I had Lane do a pair of G-19s for me. I hope to send off my 34 someday.

devildog66 · 01-24-2013, 09:56

Old OP but more props for Lane's work even though it means the next time I need his services I will have wait longer! He worked over my G23 and it is more akin to a XD grip in respect to the reshaping; I had the finger grooves removed. The best feature of the re-texture is when hands are wet or oily the grip is still "tacky" yet when hands are dry it does not feel grabbing a wood rasp.
