Hi everyone,
What I need to accomplish here is to fill a hole on a Glock frame using epoxy, and make it appear as natural as possible (black colored epoxy when dried, for example). The reason I need to do this, is that I've had a Cominolli manual safety put in my Glock, now I need to take it out. That will leave a hole in the frame. Doesn't really interfere with the operation, but I like to restore it back to "normal" if the cost is no more than a tube of epoxy...
As for why I need to take the manual safety out, I'd write a full review of this experiment when I got time. In short, there's nothing wrong with manual safety. It worked as designed, and functioned 100%. Mr. Cominolli is a very nice person, he even custom made a safety lever for me at no charge after I called him, and shipped to me at his expense. It's my way of gripping the gun that got in the way of the safety lever. Basically, to make it work, one has to shoot with their strong-hand thumb OVER the safety lever, riding that lever, thumb pointing down range. Their left thumb would be alongside, also pointing straight ahead. I saw a lot of 1911 people shoot like that. I can't do it, feels awkward to me. I grip my G23 with my right thumb exactly in the thumb recess that Glock put there on the side of the gun. My left thumb then come on top of that, both pointing kind of downward. In this way my right thumb is UNDER the safety lever. Every time I fire, my right thumb would push up on the lever, by the recoil. And that locks up the gun...
Thanks!
Here's a pic of my Glock with the safety on:
