How is this done? It doesn't seem like there's enough material to simply remove plastic from the backstrap. Is it heated/melted and remolded?

Let me google that for you. To answer your question, the hollow space between the rear of the magwell and the rear of the frame is filled w/ with a plastic compound like epoxy or rifle bedding material, that, when dry, can be sanded / cut to shape. To get the stippling, a compound similar to truck bedding is applied with sponges, rollers, or brushes (depending on the desired appearance). |

FYI - The method described above is just one way to do it, not the only way. It is the method Robar uses but they are only one of many places that do that kind of work on Glocks and other polymer pistols.
