You will primarily see me shooting a Gen4 G17 in most of my training, however anything concealed is generally a Gen4 G19. When I travel or everyday out and about, Gen4 G19.
My preferences and all my Glocks pretty much get this treatment, unless if it is a work related weapon.
Modified Frame
- Remove finger grooves
- Undercut trigger guard, slight cut on G19
- Radius (dehorn) trigger guard
- Round off trigger guard
- Heat grip reduction on backstrap (slight) on Gen4, more so on Gen3
- Texture grip, only the front strap on Gen4's, entire grip on Gen3's or earlier
- Texture forward frame side panels
- Undercut trigger guard for support finger and texture
- Clearance / Malfunction cutout on bottom of frontstrap of magwell, shape and blend
- Heat rolled magwell
- Bevel rear interior of magwell
- Heat roll and texture Gen 4 magazine release button
External
- Prefer serrated all black rear, Battle Hook is my choice. I do a lot of one handed manipulations and there is not a better sight for this. Plus it has a good target sight sized profile.
- Red overmolded fibers. Currently using HiViz. Yes even on defensive weapons.
- Vickers slide stop
Internal
- Gen3 Trigger Bar, smooth face (latest part#)(sometimes alter bar nose, but not an issue)
- Minus connector
- Standard Spring
- Clean up internals
I think thats it. I can shoot a stock Glock just fine, but if I could change something, it will be to relieve the weapon to alleviate my Glock knuckle. I shoot Glocks so darn much that the knuckle has a permanent lump and feels arthritic. Downright painful, if I don't fix the frame.
I do more Glock 19's than anything else. Did 2 today as a matter of fact.
Glad I don't have to do a bunch of mods for them to work for me. I even like the finger grooves.
With Glocks I add a - connector typically, a NY1 spring, sights that I like, right now the Ameriglo set with the orange/trit front, Sherer grip plug, then I add a case or two of ammo through the gun to smooth out the trigger.....
I tend to run +2 OEM base plates on my G17 mags, which are my reloads no matter when Glock 9mm I am carrying, except in NJ

Me too, as it turns out. I originally thought that I needed the ground off, texture added, and all sorts of other melting, cutting, grinding, and shaping. As it turns out that pretty much all came out of the fact that I was used to the Gen 2 frame and was scared of the Gen 3.[/QUOTE]
I now go with cheater sights and trigger, and Vickers slide stop and mag button. If I was using a Gen 4 I doubt I'd mess with the mag button.
All Glocks I use get:
-- Better sights: For irons usually Trijicon HD, Warren, or Ameriglo 3-dot with bright green front and dim yellow back, although recently I've been using an RDS (typically an RMR02 or RMR06) with suppressor height BIS.
-- Glock OEM slide release or OEM extended slide release
-- Glock smooth trigger if not OEM installed (typically needs replacement on G19's)
-- Maritime spring cups if any use around water is anticipated
-- Radius and undercut trigger guard
-- Butt plug (the old Scherer "slug" plug was nice) or magwell.
Gen 3 Glocks I carry have:
-- Re-shaped Glock OEM extended mag catch
-- Glock "-" connector with stock trigger return spring
-- Stipple entire grip, forward frame side panels, under forward trigger guard
My gen 4 Glocks use:
-- Glock "dot" connector with stock trigger return spring
-- Glock OEM mag catch
-- Stipple front strap, forward frame side panels, under forward trigger guard
Facts matter...Feelings Can Lie
There's a lot of tweaking and upgrades going on in this thread for a pistol that's supposed to be so.....
.....never mind. I'm just going to turn into a troll.
