Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Glock 19 grip chop and its benefit?

A Glock 19 grip chop involves shortening the grip frame of a larger Glock model, like a Glock 17, to accept Glock 19 magazines. This modification allows for the use of both standard Glock 17 magazines and the more compact Glock 19 magazines, offering versatility.

What is the 'Waffle' stippling technique?

The 'Waffle' stippling is a custom texturing pattern applied to the firearm's grip frame. It's designed to provide an aggressive and secure hold, enhancing the shooter's control over the firearm, especially in adverse conditions.

What is the unique trigger guard modification shown?

Instead of recontouring the outside, this modification involves milling out the inside of the trigger guard. The goal is to achieve a thinner profile, which the presenter finds more aesthetically pleasing and less bulky than the factory design.

What Cerakote colors are used on this custom Glock 17?

The firearm features a Machete Grey Cerakote finish on the slide and frame, described as a standout color. The remaining components are finished in Graphite Black Cerakote, creating a two-tone aesthetic.
