glock chop

[1s1k52]

does anyone do this near mckinney? I really don't want to mail a receiver off. I am trying to get a glock 20 chopped to a 29 as soon as I buy it. Everywhere I look the prices range and require mailing it off.

I dont trust myself to do it myself and can't find a Gen 4 chopped 20 to buy.

I'm confused. Why not just buy a new 29? Seriously, please school me on the advantage.

You keep the longer barrel of the 20 while getting the shorter grip of the 29, aiding in concealibility and allowing you to use 20 and 29 mags.

I like the idea....

Ok, I see the 2cm difference now. Thanks, had no idea.

Would you trust this as your EDC? I'm not sure how I feel about someone modifying my pistol in this manner. Would the extra length really matter at close range? Just wondering out loud. If that's your kind of thing, more power to ya.

I would and I'm not a Glock guy.
The length of the grip should not affect the functionality of the weapon.

Some people want the longer barrel for the increased sight radius but the shorter grip for concealability.
Someone with large hands may prefer the full-size grip even on a short-barrel pistol.
Whatever works for you.

In addition, some of the short carry guns actually cause the holster to poke your hip and are less comfortable to carry than a slightly longer barreled pistol.

Yeah exactly. I stumbled on the idea by googling "mid size 10mm glock" Because I prefer the grip of a Glock 23. However, despite some people saying the Glock 29 is more comparable to a Glock 23 over a 27 I didn't find this to be true FOR ME. So If it were up to me thats what I would chop it to.

A 6" barrel can be had on a G20 and not on a 29 as well.

Yes I would trust this as my EDC as well as a hunting weapon which is what its dual purpose would be.

So would I trust someone else that could do it? Yes, providing they have proof they have done it proficiently. I am not able to say that for myself therefor thinking its best to leave it to someone that has.

I am also debating on having the grip stippled. I felt a few glocks with it done and was blown away at the grip.

Not sure how far you are wanting to travel to avoid mailing:

Never heard of this glock chop... interesting.

Most common I see is cut a 19 into a 26 grip or a 17 into a 19 grip.

If you get this done, I'd love to see the results, and hear how you like shooting it.

[03Lightningrocks]

Yeah... And please post some pictures. I had never heard of doing this before now.

I would love to say I am shocked at how many people have NOT heard about this, but I only recently found out about this myself. It is apparently more common than I thought because of how many people do it as well as a grip REDUCTION. Basically making the grip straight and removing a hump on the back of the Glock. This is supposed to fix right handers shooters shooting low and left. However, I have read the issue can be corrected with more practice and PROPER shooting.

I will gladly post pictures IF this ever gets done. I have to sell my current pistol first and turn around and buy the gun the same day. I would like to get it chopped the same day too. I doubt that happens. A gen 4 Glock 20 was hard enough to find then it got sold before I could even post my gun online to sell!

There are several pictures posted online of people doing it.

Thanks for looking that up. Do you personally have any experience with any of these places?
