Looks sweet Buzzcut! I love Gen 4's and I love 45's. I expect the combination will be just fine...

NICE new toy.

The G21 Gen 4 has just a slightly smaller grip than the Gen 3, but I still wish they'd make an even smaller single stack one.  I have "medium" sized hands and the Gen 4 still feel a little too big to control properly.

Congratulations Buzzcut!!!! It's not nearly as "ugly" as mine. It is my beloved railroad tie with finger grooves, and there is enough steel on the slide to make it a more than adequate club. :P

I'm glad the "G" 4's realized "one size does not always fit all". The reduction of finger grooves, and adjustable back strap (M&P Copy) ;) makes it an even better version.

*and it's still a .45. ;D I could always send mine off for some grip reduction, but I like it blocky and original.

Low maintenance, combat accurate, uber reliable, and dishwasher safe... 8)

Post a range report.

Good shooting!

I feel your pain. My wedding ring is size 16.
I ground off the finger grooves from my G23 and put a Hogue grip sleeve on it. Now the grooves are where I want them.

There are folks who will remove the finger groves, Majer.

Also, there are instructions  on  how to build up an extended beavertail.  (I believe they are on Brownells.)

They use some type of compound that will set up after being formed.

I'd guess you could use that compound and file/grind off the finger grooves and smooth it out with the compound and stipple it for texture.

Here is a YouTube video of a Do-It-Yourself Grip Reduction



Here is a link to the Brownells article on both the grip reduction and the bevertail.

Touching a frame will void the warranty, so make sure it is a shooter first (kind of a given for a Glock, but still).

Then a Dremel or slackbelt sander will remove the fingergrooves in a hurry.

I high-gripped up my trigger guard to not rub my middle finger raw.  Took maybe 30 seconds.

I dremel off the finger grooves on all my glocks. If you get one of the hobbyist soldering iron/wood burner kits they sell at harbor freight once you take down the finger grooves you use the knife blade attachment and cut the checkering through the flats where the finger grooves used to be. Basically you're just following the pattern that's already there and connecting it. It gives you a nice flat, checkered frontstrap. I'll try to take some pics when I get home the middle of next week and post them.
