Glock frame mods...a thought or two...

On the Glock 19, the two complaints I have with the grip profile are the exaggerated hump and the slide barely contacts my hand so that after about 40-50 rounds I start getting some blood trails on the web of my hand. I haven't shot my Gen4 yet without the small backstrap with the beavertail but I intend to soon. I don't really care for the beavertail on the Glock. It makes the grip feel even more crowded. So, I'm hoping that with the slightly shorter frame I won't have the slide bite issue. I got to thinking about this today and if I do still get some slide/hand contact, I wonder if sending the gun to someone who does the grip reduction like Robar might solve both issues. The hump actually angles the slide down toward the web of my hand. I suspect with most of the hump removed it would change the angle of the slide to my hand and may very well solve both problems. I may have to find a cheap used Glock to experiment with and if I can get it right I'll do the same to my Gen4. It wouldn't hurt to have a spare either. Any advice on grip reduction on Glock's-what to do/not to do, who does a good job, should I possibly try it myself, etc?
