I use this gun for USPSA, so it is a gamer gun, no doubt about it. I had also been wanting some stippling work done for some added traction, and while I could have just had Cory do one of his stellar stipppling jobs, I wanted something with a bit more grip and some other mods. After doing some research and asking some questions I was steered to a gentleman by the name of Dale Hunnicutt and his company GripReductions.com. (Just give it a google to take a look at some of his work, I am just too lazy to hotlink it. lol)
Grip Reduction: I told Dale not to go overboard with the grip reduction and to leave the factory geometry close to stock. I also wanted the finger grooves removed. (IMHO, Glock should have never put them on the gun any way.) I also wanted to have the trigger guard high cut.
Texturing: Although I like the stippling work that Cory does, I wanting something with more of the feel of grip tape, but with out the downfalls of grip tape. I had tried some grip tape before and it just didn't last very long without peeling off. Dale offers a few different textures, I chose the most aggressive.
Magwell: This is the biggest reason I chose to have Dale do the work on my G34 frame. I had tried ALL of the current bolt on magwells, and they all suck. (The Dawson and the JP suck the least, but they still suck.) Every one of them would not stay put on the front of the grip and at times this had caused some mag related malfs. Dales magwell is plasti-welded/epoxied into the grip, meaning it is there FOREVER.
Dale also offers the option of an extended beavertail, I opted not to add one to my work order, I have never been bitten by the slide of a Glock, yet.
I have yet to shoot it, as the grip frame just got back to me today. But, my first impressions after putting it all back together, I friggin' love it.
Was it expensive? Well, that is a subjective question, depends on the individual, to me it was reasonable and worth the expense. Just check out Dales website for pricing if your interested.
That is all. Sorry for the crappy pics, I am a tow truck driver for crissakes!
