So recently I have been into customizing glocks and have been carrying my one of the custom G19’s I recently built. Sometimes it’s a little too much gun depending on what I’m wearing so I decided that a Glock 26 size grip would be good. I got to thinking and I could get a 26 and customize it but why not just get a G19 frame and chop it. You get a 19 slide and barre on a 26 size frame. Gen 3 frame’s are bountiful and cheap these days. I ordered a new G19 frame for $119 and got to work. I started this project at 8pm tonight and finished it at 11pm.

First things first you need to get your measurments. I borrowed a friends G26 and used it as a blueprint. I used masking tape to mark off the cuts. I put a line way below where the actual cuts would be to get it started so when the real cuts were made I wouldn’t be cutting off large pieces.





Next I sanded off the finger grooves and got to stippling.



The mag still drops free and locks back the slide.

Here is the finished product. I still have to order a Suarez flat tactical trigger and OEM (-) connector to match the internals of my standard G19 carry gun.











With some of my other recent Glock projects

I have wondered why Glock didn't make a 19 with a 26 grip for carry. I'm not handy enough with a saw to go after my own g19 though.

This idea has been around for awhile, would like to have mine done one day .

I wanna see a 17L cut down to 26 sized frame.

That is some of the better homemade stippling that I have seen.

Very good stippling.

Very nice job,especially the stippling. Some people have a talent for doing it and you do. I tried doing it on a few pieces of flat plastic and didn't have good luck. It looked like garbage but yours looks like it was done professionally.

I have seen the 17L slide on a frame cut to 19 size.

There’s one for sale in the EE right now

The 12 round magpul mag is the perfect balance for me. I get 5 fingers on the grip and it’s still shorter than a G19.

Installed kineti-tec straight trigger.

I love it !!!

Boresight did a 34:

Looks kinda silly to me.

OP, I thought I wasn't going to like it but that looks pretty nice actually.
