Stippling and undercut on glock 19

I'd just throw on some talon grips instead. Not as permanent.Get the rubber, not the sandpaper.

I bought a new glock 43. My first glock. When you get ready to break your gun down U-tube is your best friend. They are not hard to work on at all but there are little tricks that you need to follow. good luck.

I stippled my XDM 5.25

Alright cool. what tip did yall use for the pattern? just the standard pencil style tip?

Also going to polish the internals while I have it apart.

Undercutting the trigger job is easy if you are decent with a dremel, use a vise too and try not to melt the plastic with the sand drum.

Thought about that, but if you haven't ever held a stippled gun, then you won't understand. Its a world of difference.

I have, and I think I understand the difference. Talon (and Traction Grip) products are superior to every stippled Glock I've shot.

I have the talon grips sand paper grips, I just never put them on because I carry this gun and it would rub me raw.

I don't know which version was being recommended, but most people use the rubber Talon/Traction Grips, not the sandpaper/skateboard tape versions you mentioned. Sound like you haven't tried the rubber ones.

But if you're determined to experiment with yours, just a friendly reminder -- it's easier to try (and then remove) grip tape that it is to remove stippling. Kinda like tattoos. But if you ever take a training class where you shoot 1000 rounds over a 2 day period, you'll understand why stippling isn't all that it's cracked up to be (depending on how aggressively the stippling is done).

The undercut into the trigger guard, as was mentioned, is a simple 5 minute job with a Dremel. I do this to all of our (mine and my wife's) Glocks. Eliminating the Glock bump gives you a higher grip on the gun, and thus improves control over muzzle-flip.

Why would you want front cocking serrations ? There's virtually no reason to ever have your fingers or hand in front of the trigger guard of a handgun. I can't think of a single step in the operation of a Glock that requires anything in addition to the rear serrations.

Just my $.02 worth.

Coming from a lefty, I had the slide of Glock 17 milled whatever the thickness of grip is where front serrations would go.

Its hard to explain, but being a lefty and coming over the top of the slide to lock it back during a malfunction drill or to just plainly lock the slide back is a pain in the arse. It allowed me to grip the slide with my pinky and ring fingers and left my other fingers to hit the slide lock or whatever. The little bit of extra grip it gave meant I never missed and when your hands get sweaty or whatever, its pretty easy for that slide to start to slide between your fingers and palm.

Here is what mine looked like. Worked like a charm.
