The thing is that you can be plenty proficient while practicing but when put into a situation not so much. I'm crazy accurate with my glock 26 however if the paper started shooting back I have no idea what would happen to my groups

I once saw a .44 magnum blackhawk with a .38 cylinder fitted to it.I once took a .38 Special revolver and drilled out the barrel and cylinder holes to fit .44 Magnum rounds. Then I took a wide auger bit and drilled new rifling in the barrel.
KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!
Still wondering what the he!! the maker of that thing was thinking (or smoking).

Exchanging [accurate] fire in a SD scenario does not establish handgun proficiency. Having the ability to safely operate your firearm during the exchange, does.
If an operator fails to deploy or engage a safety feature during a hi-stress SD situation,..he/she has not trained properly and is therefore not proficient with the firearm.
Kinda like "forgetting" to apply the brakes of an automobile when approaching a stop sign.

Approaching a stop sign is not a high stress event.

You know what would be kinda cool? Glock 17 chopped for G26 mags. Now that would be really different.

Nice work, so does that make it a glock 1-6 now ??

There are definitely some practical advantages of the shorted grip G19 in comparison to the G26. For one thing you have a rail which the G26 doesn't have. You also have slightly better accuracy and less recoil...and the slightly longer frame shouldn't really effect conceal ability. I'd say it's a very practical modification, although not my cup of tea just because it doesn't look quite as pretty and you lose resale value.

I really like it. I own and carry both a g26 and g19 and can see the benefits of having a cut down 19.
One day I am going to do it also.

I can see why you did it. Its the reason I had a second thought of getting my G26. With the G19, you have the longer slide and availability to use the rail.

It really has been nice for carry and shooting.

I got some similar comments when I heat stippled my G19. But I love it, and that's what matters. This is a whole new level though. Glad you got what you wanted out of it. It's an interesting idea. That last 1/2" of the G19 grip is what causes my problems when CC'ing it. But I just don't worry much about it. Something to think about. Stippling the grip may cover up some of the noticeable problems with your grip, like the 1/2 Glock logo.
And to answer the question about stippling causing problems. What I noticed is that you are not removing material, just heating up and redistributing the top layer. The small amount of material moved should not make a difference. Mine's been done for several months and no problems. And the difference it makes in the grip surface is very noticeable. It provides a rock solid grip.

The next thing I am planning to do is a grip reduction. At that time I will probably do some sort of stippling.
