G1926

[CJJohn]

A few years ago I picked up a gen 4 G 19 complete slide that I was going to use on a Talo frame, but decided against. Gen 4 frames are basically impossible to find ( the PRK). Then I learned that a Gen 4 19 slide will work on a gen 3 26 frame. So.... I ordered a frame, parts kit, and shipped the slide to Brazen Firearms. This pic doesn't do it justice, I am very happy with their work. The gun functions flawlessly so far with about 200 rounds through it. I know the haters and naysayers will hate it........but I don't care. It was basically parts I had laying around for years that I decided to do something with. I could care less about the "resale" value and am more interested in a gun to replace my Shield with. Anyway, here is my FrankenGlock.....

Nice. I have a 1719 and I like it.

I had a 1926 and liked that too

That setup makes a lot of sense for a CCW pistol. I have a G27 and G23, believe me the thought of installing the G23 slide on the G27 crossed my mind many times.

Looks great! Does a g19 g3 slide for a g26 g3 frame aswell? now you got me thinking..

I don't think so, but don't take that as gospel. The Gen 4 slide works as the subcompacts have the double spring recoil assembly already. The tab at the front of the slide that the recoil spring sits in is larger on a gen4 / sub compact.

That will be the intended purpose. I have an old 23 that I did the grip cut on and CCW'd for a while. It worked fine, but I travel a lot, and usually have the Ruger PCC with me, so I'm going all 9mm and want the ability for all magazines to work. This is going to replace my Shield.

I have wanted a 17 for a long time and often think about cutting for 19 mags to fit. I've heard a lot of people love it due to the "hump" being almost eliminated.

If you are in the Bay Area we can meet up at a local gun store so you can see the G1719

Yes it removes the hump almost completely

Hmm...good use of parts. Came together well. You do have me thinking.

Sure let me know. I may also be looking to sell it at a reasonable price as all my holsters are g19 size (and I don't wanna buy new holsters lol)
