AZ38super,
Even though the 17 and 34 are swappable, i'd rather just buy a complete gun. I'm just glad I researched this more and spoke to Ben as I don't want to hurt myself or others. I can make the 34 a limited gun for my 11yr. old son, he won't like it scopeless, but he can get over the BLING factor.
Is anyone having problems with the 17? Seems the 17 is the way to go and I haven't really heard of any issues. Seems the like the 34 is the "problem" child.
For the frame mods, I dremeled/sanded the trigger guard and backstrap to get a higher grip, too make it fit my fat fingers better. It feels much better, i'll post a few pics when I get home tonight.
Don't repost the 17c, let's talk. Send me a PM. I live in Maricopa and work at Ray & I-10.
