Anybody done one and what have been the pros and cons?

I'm planning to try one, once Lone Wolf comes out with their upcoming new Timberwolf frames.

For me it’s the best of both worlds. Longer sight radius, ability to mount a light, more holster options. The only con that I can see is that currently you have to make your own. If your really want to do it I would suggest ordering up a stripped frame from Legion Precision. For $83 shipped you can have an extra frame to practice plus then you can have a 19 with both compact and standard frames if you get extra lower small parts. Glockstore also has frames for $75 but they charge $40 shipping. Legion Precision is $75 + $7 shipping.

It is very doable using a G19 slide and barrel with a Lonewolf filler (modified to fit). As a side note the G17 slide with a G19L barrel is another doable modification for your Glock. It all comes down to personal choice and what works for you. My criteria has always been the option of returning a weapon to its original state if I want to sell it.

Polymer refined did my G26 chop job. Great work. It looks like he's back in business!

Bringing it back from the dead but I did this to my G19.3 and love the mod. It runs the 10 rd OEM mags without issue and the 12s (OEM 10s with +2)work fine but have a bit more material to contact the backstrap. They feel great though.

Of note, I put some Ghost MOAB baseplates on my 10 rd mags and it makes a ledge that is somehow comfortable when shooting with my pinky floating in space.

Its a really nice size and conceals well under shirts that my 19 prints with. I can also run a full 15 mag or 17 etc if I want. In actual use I've found I dont actually notice the missing grip portion however, I wasn't in love with the hump anyways.

Just wanted to give some ideas for anyone thinking about it. I did most of the cutting with a dremel (cutting disk and then sanding wheel using a G26 mag to check for fit and aiming at the bottom of the ring finger bump) then filed and polished. I'm currently trying to decide if I want to stipple the smooth backstrap or leave it.

Another hard decision is not doing the mod to my 19.4. I really like the way this thing carries and feels.
