"Glock knuckle" going to be fixed?

The Glock was never that ergonomic, but a lot of pistols weren't terribly ergonomic a decade or two ago.

Now that we have the likes of the VP9, M&P, Walther anything, P320, and now the P10, Glock is really falling behind. Their Gen 4 "modular grip" is lazy at best.

I'm hoping that the Gen 5 will be a little more exciting, but I'm concerned that something like the 17M might be as far as they are willing to "innovate".
 
I get serious Glock knuckle. A day spent at the range will often result in a big chunk of my middle finger on the first knuckle hitting the floor. Often, I just wrap that knuckle in athletic tape. My hands won't keep callouses. After years of working in construction, they didn't keep them. After going on two decades of weightlifting, heavy deadlifts still won't leave callouses on my hands. My skin just doesn't form them.

That said, the Glock platform allows me to pickup spare parts and magazines anywhere in the world at basically a moment's notice. My Glock 19 also matches my work gun, so every rep with it is a work rep. There's a ton of reasons to stick with the Glock, any knuckle abrasions aside.
 
Took 5 minutes with a dremel to modify the underside of the trigger guard on a g36. Was giving me extreme knuckle pain but the little mod took care of it. Most people modify grips with talon tape, etc and I see this no different as it makes the gun sure feel better in hand.
 
The only Glock that bothers my shooting hand middle finger is the G36. Since I need it to fill a specific roll on occasion I'm going to do as others have and grind/sand the edge that aggravates that finger.

This isn't a deal breaker to me. Good grief, look at the money spent by revolver shooters to get a better fitting grip. If I didn't buy any revolver unless the factory grip felt comfortable in my hand...I wouldn't own any revolvers.

I put a bandaid on my trigger finger to relieve the pinching from my G17 and G26. I've also smoothed the ends of the triggers with a glass nail file. Haven't noticed a knuckle soreness.
 
I saw one post recommending 600 grit to finish. When sanding a polymer frame, what's your process?

Cosmo, I used the Dremell to rough out the change in radius, trying it in the hand, for both of us, all the while, then used progressively finer wet or dry sanding paper on a finger tip to remove the Dremell marks. It really was a no-brainer. Got the idea from a local friend, a nationally ranked shooter in the Glock competitive shooting league. HTH's Rod
