On the 19 size frames I have to grind off the finger grooves
The 17s have always been too long in the grip for me, and I felt as though the pistol was torquing as a result.
Tried a cut-down 17 and it really is pretty close, but it is not exactly the same. Somewhere I read that the initial run of G19s had a grip that essentially duplicated a cut-down 17, but that the style was later changed. That could be internet rumor for all I know (which admittedly ain't much).
I agree that the grooves are not of any use for some hands, and in fact are an abomination, making the pistol feel entirely different for the sake of "change". Added texture alone would have been great.....
