Hi to all can anyone recommend a gunsmith in north florida who does glock grip reductions. I want to remove the hump and strighten the frame. thanks glock1726 |

www.wendelltacticalconcepts.com/home.htm i'd take wendelltac's work over anyone for the price imo |
Wendell doesn't rally do a true grip reduction. Handle a BTC glock and then a Wendell and you will know what i am talking about.

Here's my do-it-yourself site. Happy to answer questions if you happen to go this way: www.theplacewithnoname.com/g/Articles/glockgripreduction.html Shane |
Your site was one of the resources I used, thanks for putting that together. Brownells also has a page of DIY instructions. I went with the stipple route rather than the paint or bedliner. Anyways, here is my 34 that I did myself. It might not look as good as one done by Bowie or Wendell, but then again it cost me less than $5 and it took all of a couple hours. None of this 16 week downtime without the Glock.

Nice |
How did that work out? I've never seen a stipple job in person, and I've been afraid that it would be to aggressive. As it is, I had to grind the bedliner off and make it smoother. I don't like the texture to be too aggressive. I've performed a number of experements in changing the grip, and I'm close to settling on what's right for me. I've got the left hand gun just like I want it, but I need to re-grind and mold the right hand gun one last time. Here's some pictures from the middle of those experements: www.theplacewithnoname.com/g/Articles/glockgripx2.html That's *really* fugly, and the guns look a lot better right now. I need to find my camera and take some shots... Shane |

The stippling is pretty aggressive, I kinda wanted it that way. It always seemed like my hand would slip on the stock Glock grip. I know some guys sand after they stipple to remove the high areas. I could have used a finer tip on my soldering iron and it would have turned out less aggressive, but also would have taken more than twice the amount of time. |
ah, sorry, i was thinking stippling  but i thought that wendell did both kinds of work on glocks...guess not |
What did you use to fill the backstrap? Did you have any issues stippling the different materials? Thanks, 96Ag |

I used an epoxy made by Loc Tite that Home Depot sells. They have several variations of it that have different set times. I used the 60 minute version. Cost $3. The epoxy didn't stipple the same as the Glock polymer. It took much more time per stipple when doing the epoxy, you really had to hold it there. Each stipple on the Glock only took a second or so. You can kinda tell the difference between the two areas, but barely. |
