All right, what's up everybody? We have 10-ish minutes. I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep it to 10 minutes, honestly, to discuss manipulating or customizing your pistols, polymer framed in this case, frame.

And this is something you might see when you look around on Instagram,

you see some of the Gucci Glocks and stuff out there,

but also you'll see some practical pistols out there

with some work done to the frame.

And you look at it, for example again if you're

watching here on YouTube I have a Gen 3 Glock 19 frame here I'll hold it out

now this is kind of the quintessential Glock frame if if you will, that so many people are used to seeing,

which has the texturing on it from Glock, the factory, and it has the finger grooves. And being a Glock, it is sort of notoriously blocky a little bit and it's in its

design and shape and for some people that is not the ideal shape for their hand and they feel as though they can get a better

purchase on the gun if they kind of get into it and they start manipulating things.

It's a little bit of a weird thought to go into changing your pistol. I do it myself which the first time I did it

I was extremely nerve-racking but we'll get into sort of how you can get around

that and practice a little bit without

potentially ruining your pistol's frame, which is not something you want to ruin because it does

have the serial number on it.

If you did ruin that, you'd have to then go back to an FFL essentially to get another one, but it's something that's difficult to screw up once you've practiced a little bit.

So Mark is joining me here. Mark, you have a pistol with some manipulation manipulation done to the frame right it's a

Glock right yeah it's a Glock 19 very similar to what you got here Jim I didn't do

the stippling and the manipulation myself, a person, a different person did.

It was definitely a DIY job, but I really like it and I do like the changes compared to the original.

Not that the original is bad.
