We Get Letters

" What's the best (safest) way to do surgery on a Generation 3 Glock's finger bumps? Professional reshaping or truly amateur Dremel? The ones on a 22 don't bug me the way the ones on the 23 do."









Generally speaking, the Glock finger grooves are detested in North America, so enterprising chaps have taken dremel-tool in hand, and vise, then removed the offending humps. And it isn't just the grooves that have gone the way of the Dodo, but the shape of the trigger guard as well.

Various sources have estimated that a first-timer should spend a 4-hour slow grind to eliminate the bumpy's to a fair thee well. I'm keeping an eye out for reputable amateurs who are considering going pro and performing such an operation, because there seem to be enough company's willing to take an arm, leg, and your first born to do the job.

Last thing we need are more vultures trying to make a fast buck off of gun owners. Start-up fellows are hungry, and if they are talented as well then it's win-win. It isn't as simple as all that, but someone has to put an end to the outrageous prices quoted to do even the most simple of tasks nowadays. The speedier lads report that they can de-hump the average Glock in an hour, and I'm of the opinion that $40-$50 seems about right.
