Removing finger grooves from Glock

Blue Duck357 · October 9, 2001, 01:16 AM

Yeah I know it sounds like a bad idea right off the bat. I don't want to trade for a new frame and I know resale/warranty will be fried, but my little 23 would be perfect except my fat fingers just don't quite match up with the grooves.

Anyone tried sanding them off? Just wondering if it would work as far as coloration and texture of what would be left over. Thanks for any help.

Regards, Blueduck

I believe that there are companies that specialize in that kind of thing. I don't think they sand them off so much as they re-mold the existing grip. I come across pictures of modified glocks from time to time, and if I see a company/gunsmiths name I'll let you know.

It's possible to do this with a Moto-tool and sanding bits, files and sandpaper. After shaping the grip, have it lightly beadblasted to a uniform texture.
