    What dremmel attachment did you use to accomplish this? I have been trying to figure out how the best way to "shave" some plastic off of a plastic part that I have, but haven't yet experimented....and this looks like a good solution. (Thanks in advance).

    On a more related note....that looks fantastic!! I happen to enjoy the finger grooves on mine, but wouldn't mind handling one like this to compare.

    I actually kinda like it. Don't care for the finger grooves all that much. What did you use to do the stippling?

    A soldering iron.

    A 'sanding drum' bit works pretty goood. Watch your speed though. Too fast and you will melt the plastic and too slow the bit will chatter and bounce around.

    Well done. The most important tool to start a stippling job, is a soldering iron. 2nd is balls. I had a pretty tired 23 and stippled it myself, aggressively. I've never loved it more. I also ground off some bits that I did not like. Mine is a Gen2 . So I lopped off the nubs at the front of the grip at the magwell, contoured the right side over the trigger to make me happy. Overall, Sure many will say I made my pistol worthless, to me, its priceless. It is mine.

    40cal, excellent work.
    Those finger grooves just don't seem to line up with normal fingers on the compact models.

    Still wainting to see a Glock with the triggergard "hook" ground off. Who is feeling brave?

    I have a 27 that the former owner removed the "hook". Honestly, unless you really look hard, you really can't tell.

    Crappy cell phone photo from the day I purchased it 2 years ago, but you can see there is no "hook".

    Being new at this, I didn't know how to put your commits into this post, but if it wasn't for someone to be artistic with there own equipment, there would be no advancement. To heck with those would put a negative value on your work.
