Anyone here ever have a Glock Grip Reduction

I love Glocks but hate the grip angle. I have been considering shipping my gun off to have finger grooves and backstrap hump removed. I am somewhat leary because I don't want to spend money, void my warranty and then hate the feel. Would love to hear from anyone who has had one done and if it really improves the feel of the gun?

i own 2 glocks and used to own a third current 21 20 former 27
i have big hands so the size is not a problem but i do understand the odd shape
i actually like it having a distinctive/almost unnatural in my hand i know what the grip should feel like when im holding it correctly with a glock i also shoot revolvers and have to pay more attention to my grip because it just fits so naturally
i can point shoot pretty well with a glock i focus on where the back palm side corner of the grip is touching my hand
yes the glock is less comfortable than a lot of guns but im not bothered by it

I have 2,one is a Robar done on a G32,the other was done by Arizona Response Systems on a G33.I bought the 32 with the reduction already done,and I had the ARS reduction done after I got the 33.On the 33,I opted to keep the finger grooves and have the hump removed,it's my daily carry gun and I couldn't be happier.I do prefer the ARS job as they did a much more aggressive job of stippling the grip,which helps tame the felt recoil on that little thing quite a bit...

Yes...

...by Robar. I had it done because I noticed that the sights did not line up naturally for me but they came much closer on a friend's G19 that had had it done and they came right on with another friend's HK USP Compact - I should have specified a completely straight back strap from Robar.

A few months ago I noticed that I had trouble demonstrating a point-shooting technique with a student's G26 and realized that it was because the curved area of the back strap had been retained in the design but moved higher into the palm.

One of the nice features on several of the newer pistols on the market is that they come with a set of inserts that allow you to adjust the shape and size of the grip frame yourself.

If you keep the gun, it may be worth the $200 or so for a grip reduction.

I have seen 2 on the used shelf for over a year, since they do look funky. There is something disproportionate about them, even though they feel more comfortable.

i would just sell the gun, unmodified, and get something which offers a better grip. By the time you pay for the mods, you may as well get another gun.

Fat-frame vs Skinny-frame Glocks.

" It just feels funny..." "It seems less comfy than ("X")..." "It doesn't point well..." "It looks funky..." Et cetera.

Fellas, if many potential buyers complained, or asked for the grip-reduced version on all catalog models, Glock would make them, and sell them. LOT of them. But not to me. The titanium (&c) CCF may make your Glock cost three times as much, but not WORTH three times as much. No sooner was it splashing in all the magazines than Glock had finished their surveys and two-years of R&D, and brought their Slim-frame. CCF bites the dust. Too Little, Too Much, Too Late. Of the six comments here so far the majority are very subjective and idiosyncratic to the shooter. Ergo, invalid. Here's a clue : 1. Hold sights on target. 2. Squeeze trigger. 3. Repeat. 4. Quit B1tch1n'

Bowie Tactical does a fine, attractive grip reduction.

"Of the six comments here so far the majority are very subjective and idiosyncratic to the shooter. Ergo, invalid..."

Hey daorhgih, how come everybody's comments are invalid except yours? The OP didn't ask what we thought about grip-reduction, he asked if anyone HAD one done. By your response, I would guess you haven't. So who's the subjective and idiosyncratic poster here?

Robar'ed G30 here... Like it a lot. I'm working on modifying some G21 mags with extended grips to match. I like my stock G23 also... the angle just takes some getting used to.

By 'working on' I mean "thinking about."

Nope, but felt others' Glocks that have been stippled and they feel real good!
