Hey guys-I had a question regarding a P226. I want a more compact grip on mine, and I really don't want to shell out for a brand new gun. I've seen the works of Bill Laughridge at C&S, along with other numerous 1911 smiths, who can essentially chop the grip of metal-framed guns shorter. Bill cut down a Browning Hi-Power by half an inch along with the mags, and some other 1911 smiths have cut down government 1911's to officer-sized 1911 frames. My question is, would there be a problem with doing a similar mod to a P226? I plan to cut right up to the bottom of the mainspring seat, or the bottom of the bottom grip screw holes. No mechanical changes, just taking off "excess" metal.
P226 grip chop possible?
