I’m finding I really prefer the non finger grooved frontstraps on my Gen5s. Is anyone commercially doing finger groove removal with a front strap finish that is as close to stock as possible? I know getting diamonds is unlikely, but I don’t care for the vast majority of stippling styles I’ve seen. Thanks!
Just buy a Gen 5, another Glock is a good thing. :cool:
ATEi would be where I would look if you really want something, but after you look at the price, I'm back to just buy a Gen 5.

They have some nice looking guns on there. I just want a Glock with a nice trigger and sights.Quote:

Go be happy.
My understanding is the FBI asked that finger grooves be deleted from the M pistol design, and that is why they are not on Gen 5 pistols.
Despite thinking I disliked finger grooves, and spending good money to remove them over the years, I have come to the realization that I shoot better with a Glock with finger grooves. Other folks I respect have come to a similar opinion, although the larger magwell on Gen 5 pistols may offset this removal of finger grooves. My hope is the Gen 6 gets finger grooves back.
For those that prefer no finger grooves, how did you come to the conclusion that removing finger grooves helps your performance?
I have skinny fingers. Buzzing the finger grooves off a Gen 3 or 4 helps me ram my fingers up as high as I can.Quote:

I've removed them and stippled several Gen 3's, but if I had to spend money again I'd just get a Gen 5. And probably still stipple it to my preference, but at least I wouldn't have to cut off the finger grooves.
HD, we are in the same boat.Quote:

I have very large hands and actually prefer the factory texture.
I dont care for the finger grooves, and if I could find someone to remove them while retaining the factory front strap texture and a Jarvis high cut front strap..... thats all I want.

I removed the finer grooves on a gen 3 26. I just took a dremil and a barrel sanding bit and went slow. I got it close and then finished it by hand. I could have left it but I finished it with a set of talon grips. I enjoyed it a while and decided I had to have a gen 4. I've never gotten the urge to remove the grooves on the gen 4.
I greatly prefer the grooves on the 26. I’m ambivalent about the larger guns but for me the 26 really benefits from them.Quote:
