Sir, step away from the belt grinder!
Looks a little like a Hi-Point now.

Looks like someone took a scraping tool to the grip....classy.

And this is why I don't buy guns from Abstergo.

That is extremely ghetto.

It isn't really my taste, but those are fairly well done examples of grip reduction and re-texturing. FYI, that's not the result of a scraping tool, but usually meticulously spent hours with a fine tip soldering iron.

Re: Somehow, SOMEHOW, they managed to make a Glock uglier
I really don't mind the grip, it reminds me of tree bark. I've seen some that look really good, and have contemplated trying it with my M&P45. My complaint was with the radiusing. If you are going to dehorn a pistol, you don't need to wipe out every edge within a 90 degree curve. This is also why Kimber's CarryMelt looks hideous to me.
And if you're going to do all that work and try to sell it to me for twice what it started at, shouldn't you at least replace the garbage rear sights?

Those look like aftermarket sights. As I said, it isn't really my taste either, but I'm not the one who has to carry it.

I strongly object to their "magwell".

Oh, that's not too bad. I pictured something by the guy that made the stock for a Mosin Nagant out of 2x4's with protruding Frankenstein bolts on the comb.
That rear sight looks vestigial enough to be somebody's stock sight. What sort of aftermarket sight might it be?

The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
