I'm in for two, upon release. Those look awesome. I love my standard GFA(s) however... they're too long, and I don't wanna cut them down.
However, I'm wondering if Crimson Trace's new Gen4 lasers are going to give me the same effect.
After reading Todd Green's article on the CTC product, I'm considering giving them a second look.
However... that's if the one Todd has doesn't break, or they get released and I don't hear bad things... so probably going to try them around October....
Derp. I got super sidetracked. Might start a new thread.
We miss you, AC.
We miss you, ToddG.
I just installed the standard GFA and did some dry fire with it. Obviously it's not much of a test, but it certainly seems like the gun is pointing much more naturally, meaning I can pick up the front sight in a more linear fashion to the rear sight much more readily--a faster sight picture overall.
I've been in contact with the company, the new version is being unveiled at SHOT. I should have one shortly thereafter.
I just received one a few days ago and the first thing I did was remove the grooves. I will also be cutting it to the shorter length soon as well as remove some more material since my hand can't reach the mag release anymore without shifting grip.

This is how much material the original GFA adds to my G26 (after I cut part of the bottom off and sanded the underside to make it fit as flush as possible). I'd like to know how thick the 'beavertail' part of the new design is.
I've taken mine off. I find I shoot better without it as someone else said above, and the impact on reaching the mag release is also significant for me.

How is everybody liking the smooth version of the GFA?
I have huge hands, and the GFA made a world of difference in how well I can shoot a Glock 17. My hand now indexes with the ergonomics decently, I can draw quickly without bobbling to get an ideal grip, and I no longer get bit by the slide. This is of the best gun accessories I have ever tried.
I received my smooth GFA in the mail earlier this week. I have been using the ribbed GFA on my carry gun for just over a year now. I only have 100rds and some dry-fire time on the smooth GFA right now, but it feels more comfortable in the web of my hand and I don't know if it's just me, but it seems to fit tighter against the backstrap of the firearm, too. They also included a free ribbed GFA with my order, which was a nice, unexpected surprise.

Earlier in the thread, a few people mentioned interference with the original GFA & their holster. Anyone using the new, smooth version noticed this?
