First Glock Gen 4, and first "Competition" model

stmcelroy · May 18, 2014, 09:23 PM

After owning 30-40 different Glock pistols, I now own my first Gen 4 and first 34.

So far loving the grip texturing, the beavertail back strap and the overall feel of the gun.

I've polished the trigger system and under cut the trigger guard for a higher grip.

Next up is sights, going back and forth between the Ameriglo Hackathorn's, DeFoor's or Pro I-dots.

Can't wait to put more rounds through this gun.

What did you use to undercut the trigger guard? Dremmel with rotary drum sander perhaps? Nice job BTW. You might consider sanding the parting seam line on the inside of the trigger guard too to prevent finger abrasion.

1/4" drum sander on the dremel, then a little sand paper followed by polishing wheel.

I did sand the trigger safety to remove mold marks and may contour a little more if needed.
