Well crap, I guess you CAN put an idiot mark in a Glock

[daveshrews]

I just had my Glock 19 out, and I noticed a pretty huge gouge in the side of the frame. I didn't even realize it was possible to damage a Glock! I must have done this recently when I tried to put it in an old holster that I think was made for a Sig P220. Oops. There's also a smaller gouge in the rear of the frame, on the corner.

I guess my question is... is there an easy way I can smooth those down? I don't really care so much about the looks; to me, a Glock is a utility gun. But I am still kicking myself for putting those gouges in there because I am an idiot. Any advice, or just let it be?

It's a glock, shoot it.

Sandpaper. I've used some on my g17 before.

 

[ColdDayInHell]

That's odd. But minor, who cares. Sandpaper.

As said by others sandpaper.. High grit count and go easy!

 

[warwickben]

Have you tried a hole saw?

 

[Gator9329]

careful that is a sign it's going to explode.
I used a soldering iron set on low (15W) to smooth out the stippling on my grip. I bet you could do the same here. Just use the fine tip and melt it back down,

A dremel cutting wheel on high speed should level that sucker right down!












































Or ya know, sandpaper like everyone else said.

Sandpaper it is... that's what I was planning on doing anyway. Thanks!

Its a glock.....

aren't those illegal in massatoshits?

I was going to recommend a razor blade to shave off the excess hanging off the gun.

I'd just leave it alone, unless its scraping your hand or something while you shoot the gun. By sanding it you'll just replace one blem with another.

A couple of years ago bought a PX4 Storm SC with a big idiot mark on the slide, I have no idea how the guy did it: it was behind the safety. Didn't stop it from shooting perfectly, and didn't hurt the trade value later on.

duct tape.

 

[slap shot]

can't just gouge the other side?

Like Drgrant said, leave it alone if it's not bothering your hand. If it is I would go with the above advice and scrape it off with a razor blade.

If you sand it, it will bring down the surface texture.

I'd just lay a knife blade very flat on the grip and cut/scrape off the plastic that has flowed out of the gouge. Then call it a day.

If you really care, you could do a full stipple job on the grip which would cover it completely.

The Glock fairy is gonna be pissed ; )

Rub it with the back of a plastic handled screwdriver. It should knock it back down.

 

[SubieGuy4]

It's a Glock, be proud of its wear marks. The more the better.

next time stop cramming guns into holsters that they aren't meant to be crammed into. this is a tool which you might need to save your life, excuse me, mr. badguy while i wrestle my gun free of the holster for a completely different and not at all similar firearm.

 

[A1850]

rub some dirt on it.

 

[chinalfr]

That's a hickey or bite marks showing how much you love your G19.

 

[snatale42]

Sounds like a rationale for a nice custom stippling job!

Place hand in chalk.
Grip gun properly.
Trace chalk outline.
Clean, mask, sand area.
Bedliner the grip.
Stipple the bed lined area.

 

[TBalls]

What is the holster made out of that this happened at all? Seems like you'd have to be trying pretty hard to force it for a gouge like that.

 

[Artifact]

I thought was a stippling job gone wrong.

Reminds me of a German Dueling Scar...
