If people are interested, I can video my next humpectomies and do a tutorial with commentary.
Note for the cynics, I view this as a comfort mod like stippling or relieving trigger guard edge. It’s not necessary, but it’s so easy to do and makes index similar to revolvers and CZs that I opt for it.
As always, hit like so I know if people care or don’t. That’ll dictate how much time and effort I put into the video.
This is the difference between the 19x (after mini humpectomy) and the Gen 2.
I am interested, from an academic standpoint. I have no perceived need to do this, myself, to my personal-use pistols*, so there is no need to go into exhaustive detail, on my account.
*A Gen4/Gen5 G17 is about as good as it gets, to be an “orthopedic” pistol, for my aging hands; close enough to perfect, for me.

I like the idea of "fixing" the Glock index but I also prefer a magwell for the extra support it gives my pinky. This mod would kill the magwell so while I'm very interested in seeing the process I will probably never do it myself.
That is interesting and one of the best photos I have seen of the hump. Which I do not notice at all usually.
I actually flared the bottom of the grip to make it an integrated magwell…Originally Posted by GearFondler
I would love to see your process in as much detail as you can bear to include. The 19X feels very good to me, but the 19 does not, nor the 26. I did one 26 backstop where I heated the hump with a heat gun and pressed it down to flatten the hump. As I recall, the end result was not horrible visually, but it got covered with grip tape anyway.
All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
No one is coming. It is up to us.
Yes please…
Yeah, do it.
I like the heat gun idea. Have one, have used it modifying holsters...
I did a hump reduction on a 3rd gen G23 frame, heated with a candle, pushed it in, sanded whole back strap, then stipled with soldering iron (to match the front I'd already done).
Worked like a charm, love the way the gun feels in hand now. Part of my hybrid G19 build that I carry now.
I took video but not sure how well it came out. Will try and put it together when I get a chance.
