How many of you have had your grip reduced?  Who did the work?  Does it fit your hand better now?
I know some of the smaller caliber Glocks really wouldn't benefit, but the Glock 20 and 21 are a handful.

Not everyone likes the same food and not everyone has the same hands, if you Glock doesn't fit your hand just right give him a try, 1911s feel great and Glocks run great, a Glock with a grip reduction is like a perfect marriage despite what the Browning/Glock clans may say and if you grip really high a beavertail will be nice, Dale Hunnicutt is to my knowledge one of the guys that doesn't fill and shave the backstrap but remolds it, which is more durable.

I have smaller hands, and had Dale at grip reductions reformed my G19. It feels like a different pistol now. I can easily manipulate the magazine catch and get a solid grip with correct trigger finger placement. World of difference for me.

My favorite looking reductions are from Boresight solutions.

My G17 and G17 are fine.  However, the G26s have their palm swell in just the wrong place for my hands.  

I did my own reduction.  I remolded the swell with heat.  It came out absolutely beautiful, I need to post pics I took while doing it.

Go SF or Gen4. I doubt the Gen4 20 and 21 will have any RSA issues because of the beefyness of 10mm and .45ACP.

I have a Gen4 G17 and I was thinking grip reduction of my Gen3, going to M&P, or going back to CZs before the Gen4s came out. When the Gen4s came out I waited about a year then switched to Gen4 after I had heard of all the bugs and shot a few friends guns. I'm glad I went with the Gen4 because I like to keep my guns mostly stock, and the grip size is better, but the factory texture of the Gen4 is also an improvement.

I wouldn't have a Glock without a reduction.  Glocks fit my hands ok stock, but they fit my hand perfectly after they are reduced.  Why not have a Glock that fits like a 1911.  There are a ton of other folks that feel the same way.  Here is my current duty pistol a G19 with a reduction and a few other things done for good measure.    TXPO




Or how bout one in OD...




Or a G21 with a reduction and a "Bobtail"

I always thought the G21 was a bit thick in the grip.  I picked up a 21SF and loved the feel of it and it made getting a grip reduction not necessary.  Recently I picked up a Generation 4 G21 and I think it is my favorite pistol yet.

I'll be in touch.  How's your workload?  One of my buddies from the Police Department I retired from recommends you.  Says your a LEO too?

Currently I am booked until the first week in December.  Yes I am a full time Officer, this is my side work.  The SF frames are an improvement over the standard frames.   My reduction on a G21SF gets the frame smaller front to back than a standard G17.  TXPO

I was gonna send you an email, actually about some work for my g19. Are you able to do a bobtail without a full grip reduction? The reason I haven't sent my frame in yet is I can't make my might up if I want the finger humps removed or not! Also, how exactly is that bobtail done, I've seen pics of your work, but what is it you fill the back of the grip in with?

Not for me. But, I have to admit, looks good.

The bobtail is done by hand.  Removing the bottom portion of the grip.  Yes it can be done as a standalone option.   I fill the channel with a blend of epoxys specifically used for this type of work.  TXPO
