    Grip Force Adapter

    Saw this product on another forum. Seems to have some heavy hitters endorsing it, very interesting.

    May help those who don't find the Glock's grip angle as ergonomic as others. Should also help those that get bit by the slide.

    This is very interesting. I have somewhat small hands so I have always went with grip reductions on my glocks but this seems a good way to get a more straight grip angle on your glock without permenent alteration. Seems pretty cool.

    Looks interesting. I might get one for my Gen3. I have large hands so the extra length added might be a good thing for me as I tend to hook the trigger and pull to the left during rapid strings.

    One thing to think about... the gen 3 grip is already longer than most people like (feels like a 2x4). When you add this, it makes it even worse. Also, if you lower the beavertail, it will lower your hand on the hump.

    I did this on my gen4 with the backstrap, but found raising the beavertail was more productive. That said, if the slide hit my hand on my gen4, I would probably get this.

    I run the large backstrap on my Gen4 so I don't think making the grip larger would be too much of an issue. It's worth trying for $27. If it works, I may be selling my Gen4 and getting another RTF2.

    Why is it that so many of these aftermarket products are not made for Glock 20/21?

    I would like one but...

    '*In 2007 and later, GLOCK produced some pistols (in 9mm and .40 caliber), that have
    slightly thicker frames than most other GEN 3 pistols. These frames, which have a
    serial number prefix starting with the letter L (i.e. LXX123), are oversized in diameter at
    the trigger housing pin location. The GEN 123 GRIP ADAPTER will not fit on these
    oversized frames and cannot be secured using our extended retention pin."

    Probably because the 20/21 series has a significantly larger grip frame and the addition of the adapter would only make it larger. They are probably a small company looking to sell as much product as possible and don't want to make something that most people won't find useful.

    I've got long fingers, so I like longer trigger reaches. This would also open up some space for my support hand to get some additional surface contact with the side of the gun.

    I could care less about the angle of the gun, but it looks like it'll help with slide bite and guys who prefer longer trigger reaches. I might have to try one out for those reasons alone.

    Just ordered 2. My chunky hands always get cut up from glock slides. One glock 17 has CTC lasergrips and the other has the glocktail. I'm hoping these will be compatible with my duty holster (or at least won't require too much trimming)
