I chopped my 17 gen 3 frame to a Glock 26 size and use x-grips with 19 and 17 magazines. I only tried this because the GlockStore had a sale on serialized frames for $40, it was hard to pass on such a deal. It makes for a very flexible range toy or multi-mag, prepper defense weapon.
@@DeltaD80 Since, in all forms of carry except horizontal shoulder holsters, the butt is the biggest problem to hide, I might one day cut a 19 size frame down to 26 length. Backup mags would be 17s with spacers.
I perfer the glock 19 over the 17. Also IMO glock is missing the market for a long slide 19. Biggest reason: when conceal carring the grip is what prints not the slide/barrel. Second longer slides are usually more accurate with longer sight picture.. So those where my biggest reasons of chopping a g17 grip down. What are your thoughts about it?
@@DeltaD80 I love it. I believe Glock would make a killing bringing out a 19L. I was just reading some people’s opinions about the 19L saying it’s unbalanced and more felt recoil due to the shorter grip. I know mileage will vary from person to person. O
@hall401 I would have you consider these two points against both those readons. Unbalanced: Then wouldn't the 48 and 17L need a longer grip to be better balanced? Recoil: 2 things here. 1-grip, most people that complain about recoil don't have a correct grip. 2- This can also be controlled with the recoil spring. I also get to each their own. That is why I've never understood the 19x yet its one of the most popular glocks.
Yep, I've got buddy who's got one. Its to bad p80 discontinued the pf940cl. I'm thinking about calling mine the the XL19 since I went with the 34 slide and if I build a 17L slide It'll be the XXL 19 or double XL 19. I understand why it's the X19. Reverse of the 19x 😉
@@DeltaD80 yeah, nice conversion on your part, and something I thought Glock should have come up with before the 19x. XL glove size here, and a 19 grip is fine.
@camarotwofast yes they do, but its a new model. They just came out with it. Check the manufacturer date against when this was posted, and youll see it wasn't out when this video was made Thanks
@@DeltaD80 looks hella sweet. Hey so that ADE Raptor… you recommend 100%? Holds zero? I am looking for an optic (rmr footprint) Its gonna be the raptor or the HS407C. The raptor saves me $100 since its for a project/range gun and not competition or self defense gun… you think I shoud go with the raptor?
@@DesertTacticalI don't know how I missed this for 6months but yes I have 3 of them but ADE Advanced Optics maybe coming out with something even cooler soon.
I’m just going off the title here because I didn’t watch the full video. You could’ve either switched slides that are interchangeable or just bought a 19 or use the 19 you have
@AnthonyValadez-Flores thanks for the comment. Your do know that the 17 slide doesn't fit on the 19 right? The locking lug is different. Also, your recoil spring would be exposed too... Just a suggestion but maybe you should watch the full video......🫤
@@DeltaD80 in the navy seabees we all had m16a1e3 full auto fun as hell to shoot. It climbs like hell. Unless you are suppression fire i prefer single point shoot.
Semi auto is cheaper to shoot and you will and can work on certain skills. The one and only full auto AR I've shot went fast and felt like a pray and spray.. Don't get me wrong it was fun and I would love to have a Glock18 in my arsenal for that reason once in while.
@@DeltaD80 yes sir. On the full auto m16 not only was the ammunition supplied from uncle sugar I got paid to do it. FYI. Seabee battalions are fashioned off USMC battalions as marines have 3 round burst m16a2 and a s.a.w gunner with a m249? Or close to that. A seabee has no such weapon so we all deploy with a m16 A1E3 Fully automatic. The only seabee authorized to fire full auto is the A.R. gunner.. (Automatic rifleman). I am told that seabee ladies and gentlemen who came under assault building some F.OB. in Iraq kind of accidentally under the stress of incoming assault might confused single and automatic fire selector switch. As the story goes they needed to expedite more virgins into jannat. (Heaven) please don't tell me how not to convert a glock into a 18. I probably couldn't figure out how to do it. And yes it would be no fun to blow a couple of hundred bucks on ammunition
@@DeltaD80 Many years back, I shot a friend's M-16 with a .22 conversion unit. Talk about fun. It was like shooting a lead firing water hose, with almost no recoil.
How Glock did the 19X and not this or a 26/19 yet is wild. Love it!
"What should I call this"
Forget the 1911, you have a 1934.
1934.. love it.
Poly80 called it a compact long slide when they made these (PF940CL)
🤘 😁 🤘 That thing turned out amazing
Thanks

Thanks. Sorry it took so long to send.
@@DeltaD80 Absolutely no problem! I have immeadiate plans for the grip for my AR22 that I just got.
This is something I've thought about from time to time. I'm glad it turned out well for you.
Thanks. It's really not hard to do as long as you have the tools and take your time. I have another 17 that I've considered doing it to as well.

Best video I’ve seen yet of a grip chop! How do you find the shoot-ability vs before chop? Still balanced well?

@@DeltaD80 great points and valid! I’m going to bite the bullet and chop down the 17 👍🏼 thanks again for the detailed video
I have a g34 with a mag well already on it that a carry every day, I’ve been thinking about doing this. Thanks for giving me some confidence
Based mad scientist, looks great
Thinking about chopping down my glock 17 gen 5 Mos to a glock 19 frame wish glock would make that model
GLOCK 49
2023
It works better for concealment to chop the grip to fit Glock 26 mags.
Yes but not all figures fit on the grip without a mag extension which negates chopping it down that far.
Dayum awesome job!. Been wanting a set up like my boy Davemodz 917

You beat Glock by few years. Now the 49 is out which is a 19 long basically.
Yep. They should have done this one before the gay ass 19x
Great job. You should try cutting a resested holed for the screw head.
Call it a Glock 19 XL 👍
What would you recommend for someone who doesn’t have a 19 frame to compare
Use a glock 19 mag.
@@DeltaD80 can confirm this is good advice, I did the same to cut a 19 to a 26 length
Cut a 17 down to a 43 and put a shield arms 15 round mag in it.
LOL. A double to a single stac?.... 🤪
That sounds unreal lol
I wonder Why the mags weren’t dropping free?
I don't either.. some do and some dont.
I would chop to a 26 and run grip sleeves 💪
So is that a magwell essentially for a 19 frame or a 17 frame? 🤔
19
What magwell did you use?
Just a cheap o e off ebay
Polymer 80 940 cl is a similar style. I call mine the X19 . Glock folks will understand why.
Yep, I've got buddy who's got one. Its to bad p80 discontinued the pf940cl. I'm thinking about calling mine the the XL19 since I went with the 34 slide and if I build a 17L slide It'll be the XXL 19 or double XL 19.
I understand why it's the X19. Reverse of the 19x 😉
@@DeltaD80 yeah, nice conversion on your part, and something I thought Glock should have come up with before the 19x. XL glove size here, and a 19 grip is fine.
Very nice.

What mag flare did you use?
Just a cheap aluminum on ebay.
