Glock Frame Mods

I have an extra G19 Gen 5 slide. I have a G17.5. I want to have the G17 frame cut back like a 19X or G45 for the 19 slide. Then sell the G17 complete upper.

Who does this work?

Thanks

19 slides don’t work on 17 frames.

Ain’t happening. Buy a G45.

Isn't a G45 just a shortened G17 frame?

Taking some length from the front end

G19 slide on a G17 frame.

No. It’s a G19 frame internally with a longer grip.

Okay, My worry is NOT the grip, My need is to cut back the front of the frame from G17 to G45/G19x length and place a G19 slide on it

Cut here on a G17 frame, make it a G45 frame

You can’t run a 19 slide on a 17 frame. The locking block is different for one.

You’ve been told multiple times. The slide physically won’t interchange. Cutting the dust cover isn’t going to make it magically work.
