Frequently Asked Questions

What modifications are being done to the Glock 19 in this video?

The Glock 19 is undergoing two main modifications: an RMR cut is being machined into the slide for red dot sight compatibility, and the frame is receiving minimalist stippling and a single undercut on the trigger guard for improved grip and carry comfort.

Where can I get custom firearm work like stippling and optic cuts done?

The video highlights Williams Gun Works in Wichita, Kansas, as a reputable service provider for custom firearm modifications, including frame stippling and slide milling for red dot sights like the RMR.

Why would someone want to stipple their Glock 19 frame?

Stippling a Glock 19 frame enhances grip texture, providing a more secure hold. Minimalist stippling, as shown, also reduces abrasiveness, making the pistol more comfortable for concealed carry, particularly for appendix carry.

What is an RMR cut and why is it beneficial for a Glock 19?

An RMR cut is a slide modification that allows for the direct mounting of a Trijicon RMR red dot sight. This is beneficial for a Glock 19 as it enables faster target acquisition and improved sight picture, especially in dynamic shooting scenarios.
