Chris17404Has anyone tried adding finger grooves to their Gen 5 Glocks?
Hi, all.
I am one of those unicorns whose hands magically meld with the finger grooves on Gen 3 Glocks. They lock in my grip perfectly. Gaston somehow acquired a mold of my hand when he designed the grip and finger grooves. For this reason, I have only owned Gen 3 Glocks up until I purchased a G43 and G48. I find I really miss those finger grooves on the slimline pistols.
Has anyone tried adding finger grooves to their Gen 5 Glocks? If so, what process did you use and how did it turn out? Note that I'm not worried about resale value or that kind of nonsense. I hand stipple all of my Glocks to my liking, and plan to do the same to my G43 and G48. I'd like to try to add finger grooves to them somehow first, though.
Thanks for any insights you can provide.
Chris

twpayne75So just buy a Gen 4.
Edit: nevermind. I see you're after the tiny ones. Don't see any way of doing that besides a sleeve. I guess you could build it up and sculpt it.

NismoThe old school way was to truck bed liner it and shape it to your liking. Never done it before.

RileyYou may try some Brownells Acraglass. I’ve seen videos where it was used to sort of build up and add carbide grit to 2011 style poly grips. Possibly Marine-tex.
Might be worth getting an AR 15 grip or something to test on.
