Yeah it looks butchered. I think it may be one of those looks worse than it really is type of case. Not something I would trust to myself, though.

Well he did say on the initial post "It's a butcher job" … LOL
Looking at the third page it is exactly how he claims but wouldn't be that hard to clean that up! It was a sweet idea though.
Thanks for sharing Macsak!

could you elaborate on what he said about the backstrap being more "stringy" than the magwell?
so the manufacturers use different type of polymer/filler/strengthening agents in different parts of the firearm?

Short answer yes they do.
Now having said that i haven't personal cut into a VP9. Glock 4th Gen back straps aren't the same Poly-6 that their frames are made of.  The M&P's back strap from what i can tell is just rubber. Its prevalent when ever you put heat to them….. In the case of  say the M&P you can't run the same temp. on the frame which is somewhere around 900 degrees on the back strap because it would just puddle up from the excessive heat. So ya it wouldn't surprise me if as he explained was a different material.

You know after looking at the mock up photo where he explains how to cut and where…. You get a better picture of how much the grip was shortened and man 1/4' is just not enough to make any sizable difference at least as i see it. I would have a really hard time trying to justifying that to a customer.  Good Idea, Bad application…...

^^^The plastics on the P30 and VP9 also feel different.  VP9 feels slicker than the P30 plastic, but both are significantly stiffer than the M&P plastics.
