    First and foremost, let me say...I know the cellphone pics suck. Also, this is NOT meant to be a tutorial or anything of that nature, I really didn't have time to take pics of every single step and detail. I just thought some people might like to see an overall idea of what goes into it.

    Ready to get started...

    Backstrap reduced, just enough to remove the hump and straighten out the backstrap.

    Next up is filling the grip void with epoxy (Acraglass). Not a necessary step, but I like the internal magwell and frame strength it adds.

    Fill the trigger housing chamber with modeling clay, I chose pink for a very special fella. :D

    And the final result. Nasty, huh? :zombie:

    Its kinda hard to tell, but it looks like you did a relief around the mag release, similar to what Bowie does. If its not an ancient Chinese secret, what do you do that with?

    Sure did, I don't go crazy with it (in fact every aspect I balance modification with retaining structural integrity). Enough to improve without taking anything to an extreme.

    It's done with a Dremel, 1/2" sanding drums and equal amounts of a steady hand and pure fear. :rofl:

    There's 3 or 4 steps that involve high potential for disaster, and this is one of them.

    Looks very good. How do you straighten the back of the grip? Not something I would do to mine, just curious.

    Speed Stippling LLC. should be your next investment.

    Looks really good, you should consider doing something like that. It might fund your addiction. (guns not crack)
