669 grip question.

Merc6,
I'm embarrassed to say that that is a promag mag.
It worked in my 469 but doesn't work in my 6906.

However, what I've done for the 6906 is use a 59 series base plate and, once again used a belt sander to contour the front edge.

I had a 669 and explored modifying 6906 grip panels to fit rather than grinding the grip frame. I found a couple of threads on this site where a member did that successfully. I suggest searching that out first before you grind the frame. It’s easier to replace a plastic grip panel than the grip frame.

I agree the stock grip panels leave a lot to be desired, particularly the early ones. Ultimately I traded off my 669 because of the 669’s poor, for me, grips and the smallish sights.

I keep finding these and nothing new except online and for like a lot. I plan on getting a 59X pistol but for now I will modify the grips before the frame.

I have the 59 series 6906 base plates on the way (again) and will order the bags again too. I did at times look at the 10 round ones that keep popping up since I only load 10 for range even in my 19 round Glock mags.

I've seen a few pics but they didn't have these angles. Here's the before pic I won't have an after for a bit.

Ended up being a bit easier than I thought. This was a heavily used grip so when I go new grip I'll know how far to cut to fit. Safety/De cock still moves, mag release still releasing, slide lock locking and with snap caps it fires as before the change of grips. I'll shoot it a bit at the range before I call it a success.

Nice work, Merc6!

I guess you've seen my thread where I modified 3rd gen grips to fit a 2nd gen 659.

I have recently modified a set of 2nd gen 469/669 grips to slim down my 3914.

Stay tuned...
