    Not that I have heard. Alot of people have shot with it, I don't see that being an issue.

    This (product) looks interesting. Just a quick snap of my grip:




    Kind of "tricky" taking a one hand picture shot with a cell. I'm wondering how this may aid in my grip? I'm thinking. . .

    I just received two; a Gen3 and a Gen4. I haven't had a chance to shoot with them yet but I've already contacted Grip Force about exchanging the Gen4 for another Gen3.

    I've been using the large back strap on my Gen4 but to use this adapter I have to put in on using the SF configuration. The result is that my trigger finger hooks the trigger, eliminating the reason I bought a Gen4 in the first place.

    After installing the adapter on my Gen3 G19 RTF2 it feels like the Gen4 as far as length of pull is concerned if that makes sense. My understanding is that I can use the Gen3 adapter on a Gen4 pistol if I install the medium back strap. However, I'm giving serious thought now to selling my Gen4 and picking up another RTF2. I like the Vickers mag release and a back strap plug on my Gen3s, neither of which are offered on Gen4s.

    I just got mine, and installed it on my Gen 3 G19. First impression is that I like the way it feels, and it does look like it's going to take care of the slide bite issue. It's also not nearly as ugly as I thought it was going to be.

    Questions: it looks like the plastic on the front of the pin hole is very thin, and I question how tough it's going to be over the long term (or if it will take a heavy blow to the beavertail without possibly cracking on the front of the pin hole. I will probably wind up RTVing it on if it shoots well, so that might be sort of moot, but still. Also - the bottom edge does sort of angle up and away from the grip, leaving a slightly unsightly gap between the GFA and the grip itself - aside from cosmetic concerns this is an area that might catch on something and break the GFA off the gun while in the holster.

    Also - the front edges should be smoother.

    I wonder why it's taken somebody so long to come up with this. It's been sorely needed for a long time.

    I think they recommend smoothing out the edges to make them fit better.
    Won't the RTV compound take up the space that is pulling away from the grip?

    Finally

    I was hoping for a product like this. I shot Beretta and Sig and we went to Glocks few years ago. Slide-bite sissy.

    Dave Williams, few extra questions: What kind of tripple mag pouch is that in your pic? How do you like the grip mod on the Gsubcompact? Is the improvement as noticeable in the larger Glocks?

    Thanks

    I just ordered one. I've been using a Glocktail for a couple of months now, and while it works, I really can't stand the way it looks. It looks much less "ghetto" than my Glocktail

    Apache, I think the product rocks on both platforms. I think my earlier review is clear on that.

    Again, I have 0,no,none,zilch financial interest in this product.

    Re the Safariland mag pouch, I went to it after reading a Jeff Chudwin article about it. Another GREAT product. There is a version with flaps
    available.

    No, not with the way I have my Gen4 backstrap. I'd expect the same with this product.


    ETA: Does this stick up a bit on the 17, and lay flat on the 19? They do have different backstrap profiles.
