Handgun Grip Reduction

[Que]

I'm considering having the grip of my Glock 23 reduced to the length of a Glock 27. The purpose of this is to gain the ability to better conceal the gun, when desired and also increase magazine capacity when desired.

I found this example (YouTube - ‪Glock 23 Modified (.40 S&W), Grip Reduction / Chop‬‎, fast forward to 2:23); however, I'm looking for a company who can do this, locally. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My goal is to possibly obtain a Glock 19 and do the same thing. Anyone have any feedback on this direction? All comments are welcome, especially since I'm not sure how much this will cost. If the cost is beyond my price point (e.g., $350), I may as well just get a new gun for another $100. So, what say ye?

I've done this to my 19. For me it is just what the doctor ordered, YMMV. I am not suggesting you do it yourself. Not sure of what companies around here do it. I do know one that does, go to their site for pictures. Southwest Shooting Authority -Guns, ammo, firearms training. Farmington, NM

The best reductions I have seen by far have been done by Bowie Tactical.

Hey guys, thanks for all the great information. I need to get some quotes and see if this is a feasible option for what I desire.

Unfortunately, last I heard, Ben wasn't accepting any new work at the present time.

I know some people would be intrested in a chopped/reduced grip. I know I would be in for one. Maybe not a glock but this from burwells site looks great.

Well, it looks like wherever I go this is approximately a two month process. One guy even said he would have to have my gun for four months!

Maybe Nash Gunwerx can do it or knows someone close.

If all else fails, grab a bandsaw and a beer and have at it!

I agree. I've been telling myself that I could do it. The only trick would be not to cut too much off right?

I don't like this one but surely a guy could make it look as good as this one.

Thanks to Ernie at Hoosier Gun Coat, I found a local guy. As a matter of fact, he will be at FNS, but I'm not sure if he is a member here. I will hold off putting his name out there until I see how he does with mine. As soon as he is done I will post pics.

Just an FYI, he is charging $100 and will be done in two weeks.

I think I know of whom you speak. Didn't know he worked in plastic guns. Good choice!

Any more suggestions for a local (central Indiana) guy to do backstrap reduction on Glock 21?

I'd be interested in having my G20 cut down to my G29 size. It's just too big right now!! Also would like my G33 grip stippled. Someday....
