I just received my Glock 34 back from a professional gunsmith who did a lot of work on it. I bought the milled slide from OST, the RMR is a Trijicon RMR and the sights are Trijicon suppressor height night sights. The barrel is a threaded barrel.
I’ll list what was done to it:
(1) Polish, hone and tune the Zevtech trigger system to amazing crisp break and reset (amazing trigger now).
(2) Cerakote slide after milling front serrations (Armorer Black color).
(3) Customized grip to my hands, built up backstrap, etc.
(4) Trigger guard work.
(5) Added the “gritty” material on it, a permanent application, feels absolutely fantastic.
(6) Large beavertail addition, allows for very positive purchase from the holster.
(7) New external slide release.
(8) Zev magwell was added to the grip (I had purchased it previously), with weight in the grip.
The thing is amazing now, and fits my shooting hand and support hand like a glove.
The guy who did the work is Bob Greer of:

Thanks bro. NOTE: This is NOT my HD or my CCW weapon, I use a Glock 19, stock, for that. Some people kind of freak out at the thought of a customized Glock and proceed to lecture about how any trigger mods make it unreliable for HD and CCW. And there you go.
No…not really. Bob Greer explained it to me, but … I kind of forgot. It is a customized “paint” so to speak, that is not a tape and hence tends not to peal off. It is awesome, best I’ve ever felt. Far superior to any of the popular “tape” solutions out there. He paints it on and lets it set up, etc. heat hardened. Sorry I can’t give you more technical details.
When your Smith was doing his work, he prepped the surface of the pistol frame with a bead blaster. A bead blaster is contained within a blast cabinet. During that process, your Smith got really excited or chose the wrong media, or thought a melted, bar of butter Glock looked cool. Either one.
Your gun looks like butter that was left in the sun.
The work is sloppy and lazy. A shop like ATEI will remove the factory Glock markings when they serrate the front resulting in a much better overall appearance. Im generally not one to disparage someone elses work but if you’re going to promote someone elses services, i feel a fair critique is necessary, especially when comparatively speaking that work is sub par.
I know your response is going to be that this is combat functional and aesthetics dont matter but, well, if you’re going to pay for something, you might as well have it done by a pro, not some random dude with a mill. On top of that, the color matching between your new beavertail and the grip frame doesnt even match. Come on man, more sloppy work. I can do all of the mods that this guy performed to THAT level in my garage. At the end of the day it is functional but i would never DREAM of offering these services to the public for compensation because my work is NOT professional grade.
Then again, leaving the markings there will create additional abrasions on your adversaries face when you kapap him right in the shit. Two thumbs up.
