Ilya, this kit will work just fine on your frame. If you can completely disassemble a Glock and put it back together, you can install all of these parts.   
 
Sparky, I did all the grip work myself. I did not change the grip angle much. I like the way the Glock points with the hump on the back. I just did a double undercut on the trigger guard so I could get a little higher grip on the pistol and sort of wrapped the finger grooves around the front of the grip a little more. Then I used silicon carbide tumbling media and a two-part epoxy to form the grip enhancement.

Sparky,
 
I butchered an old G22 I had trying to learn the right technique. It ended pretty badly.
It's really not hard, you just have to go as slow as possible and then some. Lots of sand, check, sand, check.

Here are some detailed photos. You can see it's definitely not a perfect job, but this pistol is going to be used ALOT so I didn't worry to much about the little things.

For a DIY job, you did good. Most gunsmiths probably wouldn't have done any better, and for a comp. gun it really doesn't matter how pretty it is as long as it does the job.
What class are you shooting in?
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Makes me wish I still had a Glock...but then I'd be dumping $$$ into yet another project!
Reaction time is a factor...

That is a nice looking construction, Dillon.  Let us know how it is working out… range report.

BF, I haven't gotten into the competitive side of things yet. We all had to give up 3 Gun for a while when things got really busy around here and I haven't had a chance to make it to any local pistol matches yet. I will be jumping at the first chance I get though! Probably going to bump up to a .40 though.
 
KB, it is the smoothest shooting pistol I have ever owned. I will follow with a range report and maybe a video or two when we finally get a chance to make it to the range again. CF2 sent his G22 to ZEV to have them make some adjustments and ended up shooting his CHL class with mine! We both already want to build more! Whacko

Good info, Dillon.  I've considered doing this to my Glock 17.  Probably time to get it done...  I need to check and see if they have a kit for the G33.
