Glock grip reductions in Canada?

[acrashb]

Anyone know of a competent 'smith in Canada who does grip reductions on Glocks? Specifically, taking the hump off, as in this pic:

I tried Armco, but don't know who else to ask.

Y can get a new 3d party alloy frame with a smaller grip for example from Lone Wolf

dremel and soldering iron !!

Alloy, from where? That LW receiver is plastic! It would be nice if I could buy an alluminum receiver shaped like that one, but made to fit a model 20. Even that plastic one won't fit a M20.

Is it me or does the frame in that picture look like a gen 1 frame? Seems like it might be easier to just get a gen 1 frame.

But I am not sure how to bring one in. I think they have a Canadian distributor.

The frame is the gun. Not feasible - so I'm looking for a Canadian source for grip reduction.

I only know two pistol smiths. Barry at Bits of Pieces and Gunnar at Armco. I have never heard of wither of them doing this kind of work. You might have to try it yourself.

I might just decide to give it a try someday though. Maybe I will come across a bargain basement Gen 1 glock out there somewhere.......

The dremel and soldering iron sound feasible. But I have read articles where people have filled the backstrap channel with epoxy etc and then completely reshaped the grip.

Its just plastic so anything is possible really.

I wish any who try it good luck and hope you will post pics!

Darn it, they don't have a frame for the M20! They do list a Canadian Distributor, if anyone is interested. But by the time you get it here, I think this frame will end up costing almost the same as a new gun.

I inquired about it some time back no one seems to be doing that here. I spoke to Questar - exporting your frame and re-importing it back = major paperwork and headache.

The best way was to purchase a Glock in the US had it shipped to a good stippler / frame reduction guru (Ray T on M4C for example) and then import it via Questar.

Somewhat feasible before but now with high import fees you'll end up with 2K Glock

Thanks - by now, I figured the same. I'll just keep on pushing the muzzle down to compensate for the hump.

Logistically speaking, at that price it would be cheaper to arrange the meeting between the pistol and the service, here in Canada. Seriously tho, the service provider could fly here on a round trip ticket and perform the work for less $$ than the import-export hassles/cost.

Hard to believe no one in this entire country is offering the service. I've seen the DIY kits Brownells sells and the tutorials online and it seems straightfwd enough. I'm pretty handy with a Dremel and detail-oriented so I'm inclined to try it, but still hesitant. Might be an idea to practice on a cheap airsoft gun as a dry run, though. Check your PMs.

My advise is: DON'T DO IT.

I had one done long time ago - it changed the characteristic of the plastic ( I suspect the shop used heat and some epoxy to do the work)

THe vibration from the recoil made my hand lose its feeling - almost like riding a bike for too long and holding on too tight.
