It is fairly easy to remove material, but it is really hard to put it back if you take too much off. Rebuilt Glock 17 Pistol, 9mm, 4.49' Barrel, Matte Black, Fixed Sights, 17Rd, 2 Mags, Glock OEM Rail, 17+1. Decide what you want yours to look like and go slow. I practiced on the bit of grip that I cut off to figure out how deep I wanted the stippling to go (mine is actually very shallow on the sides and deeper on the front strap).Īgain I say look at pics on the web. A flared mag-well and a cutout at the front of the frame give the user more speed during reloading when fractions of a second matter. NOTE: GLOCK MAGAZINES CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO LOAD WHEN NEW. The new frame design of the GLOCK 17 Gen5 removed the finger grooves for more versatility but still allows to easily customize its grip by using the different back straps. This polymer coating protects the magazine and prevents deformation, even when dropped from a great height. Factory Glock magazines have a hardened steel insert encased in high tech polymer. There are videos and web sites that give you the basics. These are factory original, drop-free magazines for your factory Glock handgun. The stippling was done with a soldering iron. Because of its unsurpassed reliability, above-average magazine capacity of 17 rounds and its low weight, it is trusted by law enforcement officers and security professionals worldwide. Then I took the file and beveled the edges of the mag well. The 9x19mm Glock 17 is the most widely used law enforcement pistol worldwide and is one of the best selling handguns to civilians in the USA. I left extra material so I could square things up and then slowly file the grip down far enough that the mag would lock in place, then shortened it just a bit more so that the mag would go to lock without having to slam it in place. Then cut mine a bit longer than that with a hack saw. These standard capacity Glock 17 magazines feature the same polymer and steel construction as the factory. I took a G19 and measured the grip length. This is a Glock 17 9mm 17-round magazine.
