Hello I have a stock glock 19 and was wanting to stipple where the thumb rest but before I do I wanted to know can that cause reliability issues? Or make the frame weak if its just where the thumb rests?

I have a similar stipple on my G-19. Practice on a P-mag with different tool heads. You can make your stipples small and gradually bigger/more aggressive.

That picture is my older glock I did a while ago I think I will try to do the same type on the new on. I just wanted to make sure that wouldn't cause issues before I did it to another glock.

It’ll be fine. You have to do some pretty drastic stuff in that area to have any negative effects like that.

Not trying to revive this thread but does anyone know if glock double undercuts by zev cause reliablity issues?

Do you know what a double undercut is?

You can remove the whole damn trigger guard and it will still work. 49488

I do know what a double undercut is but I didn't know if lighting the glock with front serrations stippling and double under cut could cause reliability issues because it lightens the glock. Could the trigger guard break if doing it? I know its not a critical failure point.

Obviously if you remove too much material it’ll break. But lightening the frame like you’re saying isn’t going to cause reliability issues. You’re overthinking this way too much.

I have seen home frame-jobs with significant triggerguard flex from double-undercuts but they pistols functioned as they should.
