    Finally brought up the courage to modify the grip of my Gen-3 Glock 17. I am really excited that it turned out so well first time quality took me six hours of soft buffing with dremel buffing pads.

    Did you mean to say that you dropped it, and liked the result? :innocent0;)

    No sir, it was bought like that. But I bought it used unfired so previous owner could have done it.

    It wasn’t hard, just tedious and time consuming. Used sanding sponges like this one and as you get close use higher grid and “pledge”.

    Edit: LOL replied to wrong post
