Glock Grip Reductions made Easy 

grip reduction is the dumbest thing that has come out of the gun modding industry/community. a grip is designed to fill your hand. barrels don't need to be more than 3.5 inches to achieve optimal velocity. ideally, you want the largest grip possible with the shortest barrel possible, hence why the glock 19x and glock 45 became so popular.

@@cagneybillingsley2165 Its your opinion and own two hands you can speak of. What works for you may not work for others. 1911s has some of the smallest and most comfortable grips, yet a long barrel. So don't consider your likes and opinion above others. We all are different. The car that one may drive may not be liked by many who prefer to be behind the wheels of something else more comfortable to them. That's the way it is and not one size fit all.

@@cagneybillingsley2165 first of all dumbshit, since you’re too short bus to understand what grip reduction does it allows people with smaller hands to get more of a “purchase” or grip to wrap your hand around it completely so you can hold it firmly, the Glock hump is fucking pointless, I love glocks but the little hump can limit a lot of people from getting a really good grip which is the most important part of shooting, if you can’t get a comfortable grip you’re just not going to be very accurate, if Glock was about “perfection” they would’ve done away with the shitty hump in the first place, so grip reduction for glocks is probably a really important aspect for a lot of people the carry glocks. Unless you have hands like Lenny Magill getting the perfect or optimal grip on a Glock is not really plausible, if I could change 1 thing about glocks it would be straight grips no hump

If the hump has you disliking the G19, this should fix you right up! Your welcome and thank you-

You wont regret it. Shooting my G22 is a lot more fun.

Glad you like it! After the first one they kit easier and less intimidating for sure.

Thanks!

Thanks!

That is Streamlight's white/IR and IR laser. Works well for short range and fits in a standard holster.

@@OTDefense Thank you!

I had a few people ask for that and emailed some of them a pic of a prototype and nobody liked the look of it... If I missed you email me again:)

I've not done it, but I've had a half dozen customers epoxy a plastic magwell on afterwards (requires some modification to magwell piece itself)

Reshaping is possible, couple of gunsmiths I know of use the jig and reshape the factory piece. It would be a similar process to the 'candle grip reduction' method, essentially heating it up enough to flatten it before putting it back in place.

I've bought the Shadow Systems MR918 frame, and LWD g19 frame and a Nomad 9 and spent almost 500 dollars. Those 3 frames are my absolute favorites. With this jig I could reshape and modify my other 7 frames !!!!

That was another material that did not pass the test:) Only lasted a few months and was warping.

You would need to modify a plastic magwell and/or get creative with epoxy to place it.

Unfortunately, life happened. Had some emergency back surgery and have not been able to do some work on my Glocks. Will email you when I do.

Can be done either way, but if it's a new gun I'd reduce first and stipple after.

I've had customers modify plastic magwells and epoxy them in place, but don't have an 'off the shelf' solution yet.

You must have missed it- store.otdefense.com/collections/stippling-products

I've had customers do it, but have not myself.

Correct on the Gen 4-5 full/compact backstrap - you will just have to cut the (M) strap and blend it in to the grip after it has been reduced.

Possible yes, just if you cut wrong or too deep, you may make an un-fixable issue. The jig simplifies the process and makes really hard to mis-cut (you'd have to cut the metal) and makes it repeatable for doing multiple frames.

It will make the grip smaller slightly, but the main benefit is it removes the angle, making it point straight like every other pistol on the market!

@@OTDefense which is what makes it aim high, correct? I feel I’m breaking over more with glocks, except 48 and 42 which have very little junk in the trunk at all, to line front sight up. I’d like to have this done on a few glocks, especially the 26. Great video sir1

@@johncrone3612 You are exactly right. The Hump makes it point higher as compared to other pistols.

You wont know until you try. Just note that once you shop off the hump, there is no turning back.

@@jasonstocks6460 You mean chop? I will revisit this procedure. Thanks for reminding me.

Parts only-

That's why we fixed it.

We do not do any FFL work, just sell the parts. Risen Gunworks in Texas uses our jig and does grip reductions.

all Glocks, but the G36 at this point

Lots of folks do that, have to heat up the cut off part, shape it and let it cool. Maybe repeat if needed, then epoxy it into place, by filling the entire hole. Don't let any get up into the trigger housing area-

If the frame matches up to a real Glock, yes. If not a perfect match it may take some extra work. I've done two LaserAmmo training pistols, one which was a perfect fit (recoil/airsoft), the other (non-recoil) which took some additional prep.

You could indeed.

because no other gun is a Glock:)

@@OTDefense Not sure if you're being sarcastic. Recently I bought my first gun and I love my Glock gen5. But after polishing the trigger, changing connector, sights, adding stick on grip...I discovered Shadow systems MR920 and it is beautiful. Or Walther PDP. Btw, I'm from EU (Slovenia) Where getting permit is quite a process /endeavour. Like getting aircraft private pilot licence or something. You can't use it for defence or even carry, only to gun range and back -home. In a box, rounds separately, strictly for sport. (target shooting) Unless you work security or in rare cases for defence.

@@Aleksamson Sounds like it's not as reasonable of there for sure. In the US folks can pretty easily buy a pistol and Glocks are kind of the gold standard for relatively inexpensive guns that are super simple for the user to modify. Glocks have a huge amount of aftermarket parts, and holsters are easy to find so that is a big selling point and why folks modify them.

Sure does. Got a couple different backstraps for on our site

The jig will but depending on what Generation you may need to reshape the cut part and epoxy in place for the backstrap.

That is another option, however, a Timberwolf frame is $250, plus FFL fees.... Couple that with the issues of holster fitment with common duty/3G holsters (Safariland etc), and many folks prefer to keep the Glock as original as possible. The jig eliminates the 'chance' of how grip reductions were done in the past.

@@OTDefense The Timberwolf frame you are referring to comes with an upgraded trigger group, that's why it's $250. You can order just the frame, in many different flavors, for $150 and drop in your original trigger group, which that's what I did, ($150 + $30 FFL fee= $180), well worth it considering all the features that come with it, for example, a larger trigger guard opening, pronounced beaver tail, slightly better rail system, gen 5 type grip texture and of course, (the star of the show), an actual 1911 / Sig grip angle that look factory.....NO chopping required. FYI, they also make an 80% frames, with the same grip angle, delivered to your door steps for $99.95, (NO FFL fee), depending on your state law. As far as Safariland type holsters....don't know, I do not own any; the Timberwolf frame I have fits my kydex pancake holster, including all my CCW holsters just fine. According to Lonewolf, "Any holster that accommodates a Glock will fit a Timberwolf frame". Your millage may very, to each his own.

@@es9415 Correct, to each his own. This product provides the DIY guys a way to eliminate the hump on half a dozen Glocks (because who just owns one :) ) for under under the price of one aftermarket frame, that is the the intent of the jig.

I'd pick a modified OEM frame over the aftermarket frames anyday, (still have yet to play with the Zev OZ9 frame) the only one that felt real good out of the box was the Strike 80, I like being able to adjust the grip angle, remove or stipple grooves, etc. so If you're going to stipple your frame any way, might as well make it your own with the OEM. At least that's just what's comfortable to me Glock-wise

Sadly some of us live in California and can’t buy frames.

Magwells vary slightly sometimes, even in the same generation. I've run through about 20 frames of various generations and not had any significant issues making the backstraps fit. If you are a dremel and stipple person already, it shouldn't be hard.

Yes. The 'G30 backstrap for Gen 1-3 will fit as well. Currently don't have a Gen 4+ backstrap.

fixes the angle which is the only folk most folks have on Glocks

Non currently- Need to make a secondary rear portion of the jig to fit in that small of a magwell. I'm prototyping now, and will put it online once I get it dialed in (provided the frame itself doesn't pose any issues).

@@OTDefense if you can make it work with a g48 or 43x that would be amazing. The Glock hump is the only thing keeping me from picking up a 43x

@@djrathbone788 Give me a week or so- gotta get the pictures and all online, it is sitting on my desk now-

and have holster issues, function issues, material that doesn't stipple near as well as a Glock.... To each his own

ha, yeah. It's kind of like buying a 4x4 truck from the factory. Comes with pavement tires. It's the truck you want, and fix it to your liking. Glocks are great guns, minus the hump:)

You're pretty much alone in the world :)

Most folks tend to the 1911 grip angle, it feels better, shoots better. If Glock would have fixed it years ago we likely would not have seen the M&P becoming mainstream. Most other polymer guns mimic the 1911 as opposed to the factory Glock.

Thanks! You can read about it in the book " we were one, the Marines who took Fallujah"

@@OTDefense some people’s kids, man.

My mom's missing her from a table saw. She has a good magic trick that freaks kids out.

Oh damn. You lost the tip of your thumb while in Iraq. What happened? And thank you for your service

You stand almost alone in the world...

Only on Opposite Day!

The jig will, but the backstraps will not, and the factory piece that you would cut out will not blend back in as a Glock would. Honestly the P80 already has a corrected angle as well.
