Anyone else hate finger grooves on pistols?

[Kramer]

I love them, they fit my hand fine. Prefer the way they feel.

Same for me!

[Lycanthrope]

No real benefit to finger grooves that cannot be addressed in a better manner.

Every pistol should come with light stippling for girly-hands.........and a roll of skate tape for manly-hands.

Too bad Glocks don't come with removeable grips like the 2011's do......you could just cut them to fit......I did this one with a woodburner.

I hate finger grooves. That's one of the major reasons I went XD over Glock.

[LittleRedToyota]

yes, i hate them. they are the reason all of my glocks are 2nd generation.

So I took a sanding drum to my glock 19 this morning and sanded the finger grooves off...

Nice. Exactly what I was going to suggest.

and a roll of skate tape for manly-hands.

i was thiking of trying some skate tape until i saw skate tape peeling off of a couple of guns during training courses in very hot weather.

any recommendations for getting it to actually stay stuck?

I'd recommend against using grip tape on a carry gun. I've seen a couple of people have trouble with clothing sticking to it.

yeah, i came to the conclusion to not use it. lycan has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, though...he might have one for this.

i guess i should just take a wood burning iron to my glock grips...

I'm talking about the kind built into the grip. I have kind of big hands so they almost never sit right for me.

I'm trying to see what the benefits are vs having nice some aggressive front strap?

Anyone actually prefer these (say over stippling or an aggressive front strap?)Care to share why?

Same way with finger grooves..I've even gotten some rubbers (hogue) where the palm swell wasn't in the right place...

I have large hands too, and have never held a pistol that aligned my mitts exactly the way I want them.
