So I did a trade

[MrSmitty]

Ok, so in the past I bought a G19...was kinda.....Meh.... so sold it, and eventually got an M&P 9c, and I loved it, and it was my EDC for years, recently I traded it for something I realized was not for me, and traded it for a....you guessed it a G19...now this one has a Dagger slide, so I already like the looks. It is a Gen 3 19 frame with a dagger slide and barrel, for some reason thins one speaks to me, and it says Keep me! Now...I still do not like the finger grooves, so I used my Dremel to smooth them out, now, this is just a start, and I wanted to see what my skills could do, so I sanded them partially down, with the intent to have them finished, or do it my self....What say a'll? This is just a rough start....

Good enough for government work. I would encourage you to continue trading (not with this one) and checking out tons of guns. Took me ten years of trading… err… too many guns… to figure out exactly what worked for me. I still do often for fun, but I tried everything.

You can also pick up Dagger frames stupid cheap as PSA runs them for like $49 + shipping/tax and ffl transfer fee. I picked up one as a full time frame for an Advantage Arms 22LR conversion kit.

Don't think I'd ever carry one, but there are folks here on INGO who swear by them.

Glad I don't have that problem.
I don't like G****s!

My wife is on me about trading so much...I tell her at least it costs nothing but time and a little gas, I say this now, but I'm done trading for a while.....with the exception of a few bucket list guns, I have the guns I want....if the SHTF, I'll probably get killed first, and they'll get stolen, or sold......LOL

That would be my suggestion.. Get a Dagger lower for $50. I like the feel of the dagger frame much better than the glock and you are rid of the finger groves you don't like as well as getting what I consider a better factory trigger.

Agreed, and to be honest, probably could have sold the Glock frame for a good bit more than what the Dagger frame would have cost.

I was thinking the same but PSA and the other groups that have started making frames have dampened the market for 19 frames.
