Title: G20 grip reduction.
Post by: AlaskaWill on February 14 2017 02:57:28 PM MST
I dont have tiny girly hands, but they aren't catchers mitts either. I need a slightly better grip on my G20.3 quite simply.
As many gun owners, I would prefer not to start carving up the polymer on my gun, and Im also not finding a smith where I live ready to do the work, for fear of messing it up amd being blamed. Any help would be great!

May of the guys start with the finger bumps and reducing them and undercutting the trigger guard.  Some actually find it to be enough.

I wear Large gloves and just never could get comfortable with the grip on my G20sf Gen 3.  I was not comfortable doing the stippling myself.   I've done it since on a Sig P320 grip, but if I mess up I can just order a new grip for < $50.   Mess up a Glock and everything gets complicated, since the serial number is on the frame. 

I the Glock to Cold Bore Customs in Texas about three years ago.

I had the grip stippled, the trigger undercut, finger grooves removed and the backstrap reduced.   I've not kept up with different methodologies, but his method at the time was to heat the back strap and fold it into the grip, so there was minimal to no material removal.   I think the prevailing easier method is to sand off the bankstrap and fill in with resin.  I liked his method better.

Sent him the grip and a magazine and it came back about 2 weeks later.   Excellent work, definitely fits my hands a lot better than before.

Hope this helps.

I had posted a picture of the Glock on the Glock 10mm gun porn thread that someone started a little while ago on this forum.

Stalwart Defense tweaked my G29sf. It helped, a lot.

Sell it and buy a g4 or a g3SF?
