This is my 2nd glock done up for me by Ben @ Boresight Solutions
http://boresightsolutions.com/
First was a Gen III G19. In my quest to find the right/best handgun for me, I decided to try out the Glock. I first got myself a Gen III G17. I liked it a lot, but it just didn't point right for me. May sound goofy, but that's the best way I can describe it. I had read so many good reviews of the G19 that I traded my G17 for the 19 thinking this may solve my problem. No such luck. The 19 was, for me, even worse. The finger groves and trigger guard just sucked for me. I found Boresight here on M4carbine.net. I emailed Ben and we spoke on the phone back and forth and I decided to get a basic grip reduction and stippling on my G19. HUGE difference! But, I new that I'd still prefer a full size weapon. After that, I stumbled across a good deal on a G17 (police trade ins on Buds Gun Shop dot com). I ended up getting two G17s (one a 2 pin Gen III and the other a Gen II). I bought these with the intent of sending them to Boresight Soultions. Now having both a Gen II and another Gen III, I found without the finger groves, the Gen II was immediately better than the Gen III. Not perfect, but way better than the Gen III. I preferred the feel of the Gen II so much that I sent this to Ben first. If funds would have allowed, I would have sent both at once. Again, I spoke to Ben and decided that for this Gen II I was going to have the trigger guard work done so I can get a higher grip and texturing with minimal to no reduction in the grip. This came about to be as close to perfection in what I want/need in a handgun. I can't wait to get the $$$ to get my Gen III done. So here's the results:

I had sent the original mag release in with the Gen II but received the TD/Vickers mag release while Ben was working on this. Ben did include his texturing on the original mag release.
Also, the Warrens were installed for me by Got M4. I would have sent them to Ben for install, but I was undecided on sights when I sent Ben the frame and had kept the slide while deciding what sights I wanted to use. Got M4 installed the plain black rear/tritium front Warrens on both my G17 slides.
