Grip Reduction?

[93 FOX]

Olyeller I believe does them. He is a site sponser Accurate Iron. Great guy

Olyeller does great work! Looking forward to getting my G-21SF back from him soon! It will be the 4th gun I've had him work on.

there is a guy on another forum that said you can use a candle to heat the back of the grip, then roll it on a hard surface and it will push the grip in to make it thinner from front to back. I have a G17 gen 4 which the grip is perfect. But on my G26 it sticks out like a sore thumb. I would like to try it but would love some input first. Maybe olyeller could give me some advise on weather or not I should try it.

That would work if you heat it up just enough to soften the back of the frame and not the magwell. If you were patient enough it might work.

You disfigure the magazine well, you have a boogered up gun.

I would leave it to the pro, I don't trust myself doing that especially on a gun that I depend my life on. I'm with the guys, Olyeller can get it done for ya.

what if you had a magazine in the well to help a little?

You might mess up the floor plate, but it should work. For as cheap as it is let the pro do it.
