I've seen a couple people who have chopped their grip frames to fit G26 magazines. I'm planning to do that to my gray stock frame when the G17 magazine version is available. I chopped down a Dagger Compact in the past and really like the way it felt. My pinky wrapped around the bottom and it was nose heavy like the Ayatollah (movie quote). The main reason I don't really like G19 length frames is the grip frame always hits my pinky in the wrong way. I have thought of possibly picking up a second full length grip when they are available and trimming it down to take G19 magazines while leaving the front lip in place aka the G19X. I realize I would probably have to switch to Gen4 magazine plates (for the same reason the G19X does). They absolute worst case scenario is I spend $40 on something I don't like and I'm sure somebody on the EE willl take it off my hands at a discount  I'm actually a fan of how the mag pull grip feels. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it because I've never actually used any Magpul products. The only other thing I would love to see is a Wilson Combat grip frame that takes G17 magazines. I would fart on a hobo to get one of those. |

Attached File Saw this floating around on Twitter as a prototype 3d printed project, I definitely need to get a RXM next time I go to the FFL. A 34 or 17L slide and 17 length grips would be the tits. Kharn |

you could use a 80% frame so you have a dedicated fcu for the chopped grip so you dont have to change fcus Failed To Load Title |

Has anyone adapted a magwell to fit the compact or full size Magpul frames yet? I'm not talking about those shitty looking 3D magwells that are currently available. They look tiny as hell and generally shitty, especially for the price. I have a Gen5 G17 bootleg magwell and a Gen1-4 Zev I've been thinking about trying to fit to the fullsize grip frame. |
| Zero, zip, nada. I looked at the RXM as mods I would like to see on a G19 in a cost-effective manner. It gets an optic and that's it. |

I put a Holosun optic and TLR7 on my RXM when I got it a few months ago. Great combo. Picked up the G17 sized grip from Magpul last week and swapped it over. THE RXM is now my "nightstand" gun. I carry a P365 exclusively. Just picked up a BG 2.0 PC that will be for carry after it gets some rounds downrange. |

| I have always thought $1500 Glocks are silly. Of course $1000 RXMs are silly. I bought the first one at $400, the second less than $300 and put budget optics on both. One has a PSA barrel with a Herrington Arms comp, the other mostly stock. Its a good platform for a cheap reliable handgun. |
