Did my G40. Removed the finger grooves, double undercut, smooth and contour inside trigger guard, rounded it off, beveled the mag catch cutout. Used a sharp chisel tip on a wood burner iron for the stipple. Also did the beavertail backstrap which still fits perfectly over the frame backstrap stippling.

Genuine question...what is the advantage of this other than a slight advantage in concealment? I understand the 17 to 19 but not the 19 to 26.

Yep advantage in concealment. But for me it's not a just a slight advantage, it is a very noticeable difference. Conceal ability of a 26 with the barrel length and sight radius of a 19. Really the same exact concept as the 17 to 19 chop just different scale. For me, and I'm sure most, will find it much easier to conceal the 26 grip length vs the 19. In my Eidolon holster this thing disappears under a t-shirt

Reason i wonder is with 17 to 19 I would give up 2 rounds but with 19 to 26 its 5.  Looks good and I've sen it executed well by several custom companies .  Yours looks good.

Thanks. I see what you're saying with the rounds, but for ultimate conceal ability something has to give. You obviously still have the option to carry it with the larger magazines.

+1 I used some epoxy putty that was grey but it hardened much lighter and really stands out on a black frame.

Got around to stippling my G19 a little last night with my $8 ebay 30w soldering iron. This was my first time, first 5 min was scary then it became kind of fun / challenging. Felt like I was working on an art project or something

Very interested in this, how did you do the cut, it looks like it didn't effect the backstrap or did it? Had you stippled the gun before the cut and resurface the bottom or did you stipple after?

A general rule is always always stipple last. No effect to the blackstrap other than shortening it to accept the 26 mags.

The other advantage would adding a standard light, SF X300, Inforce APL, Streamlight TLR, etc. Definitely on my to do list.

My first run at it. I did copy Agency's design as I lack originality

Didn't practice on anything. Just took the wood burner to the plastic and away I went.

I did reduce the backstrap a bit too much as mag won't drop free. I fixed it by boiling the frame and putting a mag in the magwell with duct tape on the spots it was sticking to "stretch' the frame. After stippling its sticky again. Boiling it again now to see if I can fix it.

Still have to clean up the sanding marks of a few spots and polish it up. Feedback would be appreciated.

I took a straight edge and drew the dividing line with a pencil. Then I hit the area with a dremel and sanding drum to pull off a good amount of material. Then I followed up with sandpaper over a file to make it even (just because I didn't have a small piece of wood that would work). Did that in varying grits until it got mostly smooth. There are one or two gouges where I hit it a little deep with the initial sand that I'm going to try to touch up.

I really just kind of took a stab at it.

Before and after:





Had to strip the spray paint off the frame, milled some slide cuts, added some Dawson Precision sights, then finished in our in-house black phosphate. (Still has heavy oil in the corners and all from after being phosphated.)

Some others that got phosphated yesterday. Glock 34 with some major slide lightening and stippled the grip, a Glock 21 we milled for an RMR and added front cocking serrations, and the ugly duck Glock 23 we transformed.:

I see a lot of people doing some work under the trigger guard on the outside, but has anyone done work inside of the trigger guard to allow for a thicker gloved finger to squeeze in? Just curious as I am finding that to be an issue with the cold weather. If I wear a glove that actually keeps my hand warm, I move the trigger rearward on insertion, not enough to fire, but takes away that sliver of possibly real life trigger safety, or perhaps it's all mental.

not both sides, just do the same relief people are doing for the support hand, but Inside the trigger guard as opposed to outside of it allowing more room for a gloved finger. As to the other comments, it's less than ideal

Agency takes a little bit of meat out of the inside of their trigger guards I believe, the only ones that I know of.

My G 23 cut to use 27 mags. Local smith used his mill to cut the grip, I did the stippling and trigger guard work. 1st attempt at both. I want a 17 cut to use 19 mags next.

U could grind off the entire guard and rivet on a custom alloy one.  Might look cool actually.
