Tom,what do you call those bumps on the grip frame?They've been on just about every glock since Gen 2

"If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge nor jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim." - Jeff Cooper
Pericles--"Freedom is only for those who have the guts to defend it".

The problem with society today is that not enough of us drink wine from our enemies skulls”.

It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars!!!
-Sheriff Jim Wilson
"When tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty" Thomas Jefferson
Es gibt keine Notwendigkeit zu befürchten, Underdog hier ist.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. Where are we now??????

There is a book named "Glock,Rise of America's gun'.  About the Glock company and Gaston Glock.


https://www.amazon.com/Glock-Americas-Paul-M-Barrett/dp/0307719952

I got the audio version and found it VERY GOOD. Gaston is/was quite a character and the company is/was managed in a very interesting way. Well worth the read.
The time for action is upon us and the enemy is at our gates. Let us not allow them one more inch of advancement but instead throw them through the gates of Hell.

I don't think so.  In the first picture it appears that it might be, but in the following picture it does not.  Thinking it is the lighting in the first picture that is perhaps causing that "look:

Yeah you are probably right. I wouldn't mind having a flared mag well though. Seems like the polymer could be heated and flaired. Know of anyone that has done that?

They do make "add ons".   Here is a link from Brownells but there are others out there too.

one pin on the locking block....a dovetail front sight and slightly longer beaver tail was suggested to the chief engineer by a good friend at the SHOT show Glock sit down dinner about 5 years ago ...typical German arrogance was that the G17 was perfect...and the M&P started kicking their butt
