While I'm a big fan of the Glock designed pistol, I find that the finger grooves on the front strap of most Glock models somewhat uncomfortable. For me, a flat front strap is much more comfortable to grip and shoot. Has anyone ever modified their Glock front strap by grinding down, cutting off the nubs and filing/sanding smooth, or otherwise removing the finger grooves? It appears that it may entirely be possible without totally destroying the firearm's grip. Am I way out in left field with this idea or does it have merit?

I don't own a Glock (the front straps partly being the issue) right now but I've seen it done on several guns. Looks really easy.While we're here arguing about the latest high tech running shoes, there's some Kenyan out there running barefoot. Guess who's gonna win the marathon? -
I've seen lots of people do it when they did frame reductions, so you're not off the wall. Whatever is more comfortable for you. Check out the Lone Wolf frame too. Pretty cool looking.JonahComment

Dremel and some fine grit sandpaper will do the job for you. Make sure to practice for a bit on some spare parts before you start. Easy as pie.It's the Indian, not the ArrowComment

Theres a guy who made a thread about dremeling off the finger grooves, sanding it down and then stippling the front with a soldering gun. Came out really clean and didnt cost him anything.
