Mine is a 21SF. I took out the big checkering between the finger grooves and rounded the four corners of the grip so that it didn't feel so squarish. My son fine stippled the areas between the finger grooves. He also did an undercut on the trigger guard so that it sits lower in my hand.

 

I had grip reduction done by glockgripreduction.com on a G19, two G 21's, a G23, G27 & G35.

The G23 and one G21 were Gen 2's the rest were Gen 3's.

I had the finger grooves & back strap hump removed ( more 1911 shaped), trigger guard rounded and under cut, small beaver tail added.

Yes I would do it again. Using the same vendor.

 

I guess I fit this thread.


I undercut the bottom of the trigger-guard on my G23(3) just to fit the finger groves better. I also took the sharp edge off the bottom of the guard while I was at it and I am very happy with the outcome.


Go slow, check for size often and finish with sandpaper for an OEM look.

 

Anyone have some pics of the work done ?

 

I have done a few reductions I did myself :whistling:. Here are some pics of different work.

Just a few

OOOO! Just the thread I wanted! I thinking of doing my G21! Guy post some pics!

 

Sure thing! Mine's a Robar, but Cold Bore tree bark looks much better than rhino-liner.

That's what I want done to my G21! I'm on your site now! I'll be in touch soon!

Thanks

 

^^^^^ that's what I want for my G4 21 as well gotta save money for that... When are you taking orders again TXPO ?

 

Used heat (a candle) to flatten the backstrap on my G19.
Did so because I have little-girl hands.
That g19 fits me now like it was custom-made.

When I get time I'll do the same with my G23.

 

I did some work to my frame myself. A little of the ol' kitchen gunsmithing if you will..

I double undercut the trigger guard. Took the finger grooves off and made it smooth. Wrapped it in grip tape. I actually cut the large back strap in half at the point where the meat of my hand is still on the back strap itself. (I have small hands) This actually changes the angle of the gun in my hand quite a bit. I'm very, very happy with this right now.

Sorry not exactly the best pic's of the frame but it's all i had at the moment and figured i'd post it so you can get an idea.

 

 

Very nice. I have to try this otherwise I am going to wind up with an Smith and Wesson M&P!! Hope it works for me!!

You know I thought the same thing:steamed:

 

1. I wanted it done because while I always liked my G20s they never pointed naturally for me due to the large grip. btw I wear XL gloves.
   
2. Third gen G20
   
3. I had the maximum grip reduction, finger humps removed and fully textured.
   
4. Lane at Cold Bore Customs did the work.
   
5. I am VERY satisfied with the work. It made a range only gun into a carry gun because now it fits my hand so much better and it has a straight backstrap, which I really prefer. Now it points naturally and that is important to me.

 

Glock 30 with grip reduction done by Boresight Solutions. The sides of grips are done in light to medium stipple and the front and back strap are done in a more aggressive stippling. BSS did a great job all the way around. I would use Ben again.

I really want to try Cold Bore Customs for next Glock grip reduction. It might be a 17 to 19 grip length chop with reduction.

 

Glock 30 with a grip reduction for Boresight Soulutions. Satisfied with the work. It looks great.

 

Trigger guard undercut, removed finger grooves and glock texture, then add some of my own. I have small hands.

Advanced Performance Shooting does great work too

Not a moaner, just a happy camper. :wavey:

Why did you want or have it done ( curiosity, small hands etc)?

Big, fat fingers just don't fit the finger grooves and I wanted it to point a little better.

Which Generation Glock?

Gen 3

What model Glock ( 17, 21, 22 etc)?

G 23

What did you have done ( ie: texture finish changed, grip reduction etc)?

Removed the finger groove humps, added a double radius cut to the trigger guard, cut a radius around the mag release.

Who did you use?

DIY (Me)

Were you satisfied?

Very, very much so. Even with the rear hump still in place, I reach the trigger more easily, greatly improving trigger control and shot placement. I also find I don't fuss with the position of my hand on the grip, with the first radius on the trigger guard I don't suffer from Glock finger and the second positions my hand consistently in the same place, as a result the weapon points more naturally with the sights lining up almost perfectly every time.

Any recommendations concerning grip reductions?

If you're slightly adventurous and mechanically inclined, within reason, there are a number of things you can do on your own. If these don't apply to you, seek a professional. I've never used his services, but the work I see from Lane at Cold Bore appears to be top notch. He may still get some of my business as I haven't yet mastered the art of applying a decent looking texture, :crying: which is about all I still want to do to my 23.

If I ever get a G21, it's getting that!

 

I have done a few reductions I did myself :whistling:. Here are some pics of different work.

For my taste, the top 19 is one of the cleaner, better looking reductions I've seen. Nice work!

Is the mag release cut a real functional improvement?

 

I just took somebody's advice from another thread I think and smoothed out the backstrap of my Gen4 19. I like the extra rough on the sides and fingers, but the backstrap was a little bothersome. Not a major problem, but I figured I'd try it to see.

Just picked up a 220 grit sanding sponge from Home Depot and sanded off micro increments. Bumps are still there, but just a noticeable difference between the sides and fingers. Definitely not noticeable with a picture, but noticeable in the hand.
