Used a $7 file from Home Depot and removed the finger grooves. Took 15 minutes or so. Im putting talon grips on it so didnt worry about the finish too much, just used the finest grit on the file. It has 4 grits on the file.

I may do the heat reduction method for the back strap, havent decided yet. I may also do an undercut on the trigger guard for my knuckle, but I dont seem to have that big of an issue.

The finish looks like the standard Glock finish.

Yea it was extremely simple. Once you use the fine grit, it smooths it out very nicely. I had bout fine grit sand paper to make it smooth, but its just not necessary.

Looks well done. I'm interested in seeing the results of your other upgrades if you do them.

If I end up doing them I will post some pictures for sure. Im a little scared on the grip reduction. Id like to handle someone that has done it first so I can make sure its something I want.

Anyone ever use a GAP plate on a G19?

I've done the same thing to my 1998 vintage G19.



I increased the undercut on the trigger guard too, try it, I think you'll like it.

I've thought about this, but since the GAP is designed for use with a G26, the subs have that little lip that sticks down at the bottom of the front-strap (the bottom of the second finger groove). This would leave you with a bit of a space between the bottom of your grip and the baseplate.

Did the underrcut on my G35 range toy and LOVED IT.  I dont really notice it on the 21sf i picked up yet though so I might leave it alone.
