Has anyone done this themselves? Or any other mods to the grip? Im thinking of doing this to my 19 but wanted to get tips/advise before taking a dremmel to a $400 gun. Any pics would be also appreciated.

DON'T USE A DREMEL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go to the hardware store and buy a dowel rod that's slightly skinnier than your middle finger.  Get 600, 800, and 1000 grit sandpaper.  Wrap the 600 around the dowel and sand under the trigger guard.  Make sure you don't sand INTO the GRIP.  Run it under the trigger guard to bring it up a little bit, and slide it up the side to bevel the edge of the guard for comfort.  That way your finger isn't digging into a corner.
Dremeling your Glock is like shaving with a Samurai sword.

I mostly agree about not using a dremel.  They can get out of hand real quick unless you use one a lot.

My only amendment to the dowel stick is to start with 220 grit.  600 grit is almost a final finish.

FYI if you want to compete in USPSA Production or IDPA SSP don't do it.

GTG in USPSA Limited, Limited 10, and Open. Also GTG in IDPA ESP.

I think I actually start with 400.  I wanted err on the high end.  It's really easy to gouge the plastic.

I might have went a little crazy but it fits so much better in my hand.

To think, people say that Glocks are ugly...
Are you going to stipple it?  I'm looking forward to seeing it when it is finished.

It's amazing what you can do with a dremel and a Glock...
