?? file/grind - "finger bumps" off Gen 3 (Glock 19) ??

[palmtree]

Glock 19 dont fit hand, cuz the little bumps b/t fingers are too close together.
A gen 2 w/ a mag sticking out a little would work, but no gen 2's on market anymore.

So, what do you guys think of a new Gen 3, and file those little bumps off?

Would this hurt the integrity of the gun? I mean, is it solid material in those bumps? Wouldnt it be about the same strength of a gen 2 or4 or 5 , in that case?

Also i remeber seeing a magazine that kinda extended a lil bit for that gun, and had a lil bit of a bump on it, but now i cant seem to find one on google pics, anyone have any guesses what mag. that would be, to add a lil length to the grip?

Don't own a Glock yet (I have too many interests; Not enough $) but removing the finger bumps shouldn't negatively affect durability. I've seen the removal as an option from places that stipple frames & do other mods.

That is an option...

This is easier however. These Pachmayr grip gloves fit in such a way that it fills in the shallow parts of the finger grooves, essentially making it feel like there are no grooves. very comfortable and makes it feel better/non slip IMHO.

wow, thanks for the quick solution. Ill have to go hold one again, and see how the last/bottom outer ridge of the grip is like, and also figure out the right magazine for it. then buy one

thanks bhp1410, apparently others have the same problem i'm describing

no condoms- they have slid up and hit the mag release...


Glock has a great warranty... void with sanding on frame

lol,lol. you got a point about warranty, but the sacrafice would be neccesary for a 19 given the hand simply wont fit

My fingers rest on the grooves, I’ve gotten used to it and don’t notice them anymore. Grinding them off and stippling was the rage a few years back and haven’t heard of any issues with the frame being less rigid.

Save up for a gen 5, or scour the lgs used cabinet. There was gen 2 G17 at city arms east a few weeks back, decent price, but I'm not in the market.

[norcalAF]

Or send it off to one of the many places that do Glock grip work, don't do it yourself, unless you plan on never selling the gun.

Just get a gen 5. They are slick.

[palmtree]

is a gen 5 a two piece spring? i heard there were problems w/ the two piece on the gen 4's. i figure idf the gen 3 works great, why change. Erion, thank you for the mention of the youtube video
