Just wrapped up a G17/19 conversion. Grippier, palm swelled grip for my ape hands, more concealable, same sight radius and velocity.

Cool. I've never seen the grip done like that before.

As odd as the "swirled icing" look is, I really like the lines and proportions of the gun overall- looks good with the shorter grip and lack of finger bumps on the front of the grip.

Very nice Glock! Did you do the work yourself?
If not, may I ask who did?

It kind of reminds me, at least in concept, of a custom 1911 I saw once.
It was an Colt Officer's Model frame adapted to a 5" barrel and slide. I can't
remember who made that one off the top of my head, though.

Anyway, congratulations on a really nice, custom pistol.
There's nothing like having a gun built that's  to your own specs!

I placed the texture over stippling that I had grown tired of. The grip feels very G30ish to me which is a perfect circumference. The length of pull places rounds on target even if I slap the trigger.

That grip doesn't look very grippy, but otherwise I like it. I like the rounded trigger guard.

Looks like you turned a Glock into a Sigma. LOL if it works for you, congrats.

Proverbial dumb question; but, what did you use for 'texture'?

Looks like that rubber dipit, for tool handles etc. I did a butt pad cut out of a rubber snowplow, to get a longer LOP, then dipped it and the original plastic piece for a uniform look.

The OP hasn't been back on since my question.
I'll chill until then.

These are the type of Glock pix I like vs. the "Look at me! I've got a stock Glock like 20 million other people do!!"

maybe he Plasti-dipped over some drawer liner?

Marine-Tex with black dye. Hard and durable. Unlike stippling. I can remove stippling with a finger nail. Texture applied with the fat end of chop stick at 30 min cure. I ended up hitting a few high points with dremel sanding drum followed by polish drum.

I suspect that this is what Robar uses. They tease out the putty more then sand the points down.

OK, do appreciate the follow up and info.
Got an 'extra' G22 that is going to get 'the treatment'.

That's awesome, thanks for sharing.

I have 2 G17s, this might be a fun project for my "extra"

Marine-Tex is available at any Boaters World. Use a scant amount of black dye. If it's slow to cure, dip in warm water. Masked lines are easy. No ultrasonic cleaning--will cause delamination.

Like it, what did you use to "round" the trigger guard?
11/30/2014 1:59:58 AM EDT
[#22]
It's not my taste, but looks well done.  I'm curious about how the rounded trigger guard was achieved.
11/30/2014 3:34:18 AM EDT
[#23]
No but as long as it works for you.

OP, I like it and would appreciate and enjoy a step-by-step on how you did it, if you ever are so inclined. By any chance is the texture rubbery?
