Glock 19 Idea I was thinking of doing...

[stephen87]

So I've been looking at my next Glock. The Glock 30SF fits what I'm looking for. Then I got to wondering: how hard would it be to take a Glock 19 and MAKE a Glock 19SF. ANyone ever seen something like that? A 19 with the grip cut to a 26 size?

I believe Bowie Tactical has done something similar to this. You may want to check out their website. Hope this helps!

G19 Grip Chop

The GLOCK 26L - 19 chopped down to a 26 | Fleeting Survival

That's pretty cool...but I do not think I could ever get up the balls to start chopping my G19 frame.

I tried one years ago and butchered it something fierce lol. Still have the butt ugly remnants of a frame in my safe to serve as a reminder not to get into a hurry when modifying firearms.

Or do it only on something like a P320 or P250 Sig where the worst case outcome is $45 worth of parts replaced.

No chop mod necessary with the Sig. I purchased a subcompact grip module and dropped the fire control unit from my P320 compact into it. Then assembled it with the compact slide. Now I have the longer slide with the subcompact grip. The subcompact magazines hold 12 rounds too.

yes, but I wanted a Subcompact Large, which doesn't officially exist. So I chopped mine.

You are correct that the subcompact and large are not compatible. The P320 compact model is comparable in size to the G19 so the subcompact frame swap on a P320 compact would be comparable in size to doing a chop job on a G19.

I did that to salvage a 19 that had a damaged grip. Turned out ok, but I could have made it better looking by taking a little more time. Shoots fine. I usually use the G26 extended (12rd?) mags in it , mostly for the pinky rest. Sorry, no pics handy.

SF means slim frame, not short frame.
The G19 Gen 4 has a slimmer frame than the Gen 3 if you leave the back straps off.
Why short change the G19's 15 round capacity?
It's an easy gun to conceal.
Just get a G26

Is it not a shortened frame as well? I already have a Glock 19 and a Glock 43 and a Glock 17. A Glock 26 is PROBABLY next on the list, but I thought having a "one of a kind" Glock would be fun as heck to have. I like the shortened grip of the 26/43, but I like the longer slide and weight of the the 19. Why not have the best of both worlds? If you came in just to voice your opinion that it's not your cup of tea, great. Go buy your cup of tea and let me have mine.

Sure have. Belt sander makes short work of it.

Robar has been doing this for 15 years or more. https://robarguns.com/custom-weapons/handguns/custom-glocks/ They do some awesome custom work. With NOTHING else done, a Glock grip chop is $90. Seems reasonable and it will look factory.

Looks like nice work.

Actually, no it does mean short frame. Grip/frame width is not reduced, rather the front to back grip distance is reduced on sf and gen 4 models.

Cold Bore Customs does this type of thing...

Personally I have always wanted a bobtailed 19.

This^^.

Lane Owens at Cold Bore Customs does that sort of work...he's excellent too! And having a short-gripped G-19 isn't all that bad of a move either...4" barrel on the shorter grip, nice!
