    Any news on the Glock Gen4 Beavertail?

    Anyone remember seeing this at shot?
    http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2...avertail-grip/

    I was looking at the GFA until I saw this. I really like using the large backstrap for my Gen4 19 but I get horrible slide bite with it. I switched to the medium size this past weekend for a local class and still managed to get some small "nibbles" on my hand. Oddly enough I don't have this problem with my Gen3...

    Anyways, does anyone have any info on these? An ETA? I'm very anxious to try a large backstrap with beavertail...

    Holding a gen4 next to a gen3, it becomes glaringly obvious how much higher in the grip you can get with the gen4. I'm interested in this grip for my gen4...

    Just when I thought Glocks couldn't get any uglier.

    At a recent armorers class, the instructor hinted that they would be available soon. He had one for us to see.

    FWIW, I was told over the weekend 3 to 5 months.
    What can one man do? You never know until you try.

    When they release this for the Gen 4 G19 I will definitely buy one. i tried the whale tail for the Gen 3 and eventually took it off because it made the grip too thick.

    There were Glock reps at my dept this Weds, the 27th, and they had one. I got to play with it on a G22 and, while it felt ok, I can't say that it did anything for me without running ammunition through the gun to see how it really feels and functions.

    They did say that they're not out yet but coming.

    I think that the the Beavertail will mostly interest those of us who experience slide bite.

    The Glock folks didn't bring the Gen 4 backstrap w/beavertail to the NRA convention. I was there Friday and looked for it and asked one of the reps about it. He said that they did have it at SHOT and that he wasn't sure why it wasn't being shown at the NRA show.
