Does anyone prefer the front cut out on the front strap of a Glock?

[CAMSDADDY]

I have a 34 with the front strap cut out. I know Glock has since gotten away from cutting the front strap. I am just wondering if anyone actually prefers the cut out. To me it feels weird. I dont find it as bad on the 34 as I did on the 19 but still odd. Ive debated chopping the grip to a 19 length to do away with the cutout and Ive also considered buying a frame or trading or buying another 17 length frame and swapping out between slides.

What is a front strap cutout? I'm asking seriously. I don't know what that is.

I’m assuming he means the half moon cut at the bottom of some of the grips.

Mags tend to hang up on them during reloads.

Yes there was a half moon cut out on the front on the earlier Gen 5’s. I’ve never had issue but I’ve also never had a Glock mag stick

Okay, you're talking about the front cut on the grip at the mag well. The term "strap" had me going for a minute.

I understand now. Thanks. My Gen 3 19 has that demilune cut. My G45 doesn't. To tell you the truth I've never noticed if I prefer it or not. I think there's a company that makes a filler for that.

I'm kind of vanilla when it comes to Glocks. I've never had the urge to undercut the trigger guard or even take a soldering iron to the grip. I know, boring.

I have seen magazine base plates that fill the frame cutout or you could install a magwell that covers the cutout as well. I would try one of those before chopping the frame.

I don't like the half-moon cutout, personally.
In the past I had a Gen 5 19 with the cutout - put an SLR magwell on it that completely covered the cutout. Highly recommend over chopping the frame or buying a whole new frame to deal with the cutout.
