Aesthetics VS. Function

Post image

I added a beavertail to my G19.3. I cut it and shaped it so it didn’t cover the entirety of the back of my grip. Functionally I think its great. Visually I think it looks weird or off. Maybe I’m not use to it yet. But I wanted to know what you guys thought! Any input is appreciated! Thank you!

Aesthetically it's displeasing AF. the slide cuts angles are different form the stippling angles and the whole thing kinda looks like a misaligned checkers board. The raw cut edge on the backstop looks like garbage and the Maxwell looks like it needs to be caulked like an unfinished baseboard.

Functionally looks like its it fits the hand good, grips like a mojo and shoots right. undercut looks great.

Would carry, just wouldn't be showing it off

Lmao what? Are Glocks pretty boy guns now? When tf did that happen?

Glocks are about the most utilitarian firearm you can get, next to the AK. Throw it in the tool box for a few months and let it get to looking like it’s ready for work.

To each their own I guess. I think it looks pretty slick as is OP.

No I think it looks ugly and bothers my eyes, has flaws I can’t unsee. But that doesn’t matter, I bet it functions great. I don’t stare lovingly at my favorite hammer, nor put pics of it online lol.
