I did a few myself this weekend. My OCD was not wanting me to wait 2-3months to get someone else to do it. I love the way the grip feels on the OD 21s and the 19 feels like a dream.

I'm curious, how does one go about doing this?

Very carefully.
Fill up the trigger housing with playdough, Fill backstrap with epoxy. Sand down the hump on the grip and grind off finger grooves. Stipple with woodburning kit. Done.

What kind of epoxy?  Do you have to disassemble the trigger group or anything?  BTW your's doesn't look too bad!

I'll see what I can do, do the mods in this forum have a problem with me doing that?

Also, I used Acraglas gel.

Go to www.brownells.com click on their how to section they have info on doing a grip reduction also www.theplacewithnoname.com has alot of good info on do it yourself reductions. A Glock with a reduction is a more natural pointing weapon. (IMHO).

It has a charm to it.  Not my bag but if it works for you than more power to you.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  I like the shape of the G19's new grip the most.

I now have a local gunstore that will accept the work. Currently we are working around the 125-150 dollar range due to me having to use their FFL. I am currently trying to have the gun back in the customer's hand within 7 business days.

I have developed a MUCH improved method that will allow all old frame material to be stippled, allowing the use of the lanyard loop and providing a much more rugged platform. In fact the use of epoxy is almost just an option, just today I was doing a demo of how rugged it is by jumping up and down and stamping on the backstrap of a gun without the epoxy added. I have been shooting that gun for a couple of weeks and it is going strong still.


Stippling pattern will be up to the customer, but I will encourage the "rice" pattern for most applications. Here are a few pics of the G21 I was jumping all over today:


It has a flat backstrap.

The stippling matches, and I'm able to keep the lanyard hole.

Look Ma! No epoxy.


If you are interested, give me a PM.
