Suppose all it takes to make one is a hack saw and a willingness to risk messing up your gun. <br /><br />Personally I don't get it. For me the only advantage of a 17 over a 19 is that having more grip makes the draw a little bit easier. That said holster choices address that issue. <br /><br />I'll stick with the 19. Plan to get another one for a spare.

In fact, even though I CCW a 19 at present, all my holsters are 17-length because the extra length of holster helps stabilize the pistol when carried IWB.<br /><br />A 17-length frame with a 19-length barrel will give up shootability, muzzle velocity, and sight radius without any appreciable gain in concealability.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.com
