I hate the 3rd gen Glock grip hump. Remove it? P80? Other gen?

I cut the hump off my Glock 35 frame free hand and went very slow. Then I glued in place the replacement piece. It felt good, but I can't stipple worth a damn so it didn't look so good. A good friend gave me such a hard time about having a really ugly pistol. So I bought the Grey Ghost frames.

If ATF backs down on the whole brace thing, then I will use the ugly frame as part of what I will put together a gun to use with KPOS unit in 357 sig.

The theory is sound, but glue isn't forever.

Way better solution, permanent and nothing to fall out or off.

I glued it and then stippled it, looks like hell but nothing will fall off.

But it is just sitting in a tool box having been replaced by Grey Ghost frame

The one GOOD thing about a Gluck - there's nothing so terrible about it that can't be dremel-ed away!

Finally remembered where this is at.

True. (well, except maybe BTF)

And they are already ugly.

These days I’d be more inclined to glue and weld, a beavertail cut off a Gen4-5 grip spacer than make it out of bedding epoxy.

Any experts have thoughts?

While it may be not the best looking way, but is definitely the most durable.

I did a few and tried to work up a more reliable way than just epoxy and was never able to get one done that would hold up over time and range sessions.

I will cut the beavertail backstraps down and mold them to the frames after my reduction process. I also do not affix them permanently to the frame, so they can be removed whenever the customer wants.

Indeed, reducing with heat then stipling worked great for me. Have candle, will travel. Throw in some sand paper and a soldering iron, and damn the grip is awesome now, and looks good too.

[Todd.K]

Do you think it’s possible to make a Gen3 short frame? Shrink the upper half of the grip to take the smaller Gen4-5 trigger housing?

[ViniVidivici]

No......
