I’m seeing pictures of cars in your attachments…

 

Well that was strange, not sure how that happened. Thanks for the heads up, fixed now

 

Oh that does look nice!

Love the full size grips, love the baby Glocks, but that hump on the compacts just does not work well with me.

 

Thanks! Agree, was never a fan of the hump

 

Nice! How did you do that? I believe that 18 degree angle is the one on the 1911. Shadow systems uses that grip angle on their clone. It is shadow systems on the outside internally it is a glock.

 

I'm a mechanical engineer, I designed it in CAD and then 3D printed it out of a very durable carbon fiber nylon material. Yes! You are correct, the 18 degree grip angle is the best in my opinion.

 

Phew! Finally a solution. Four degrees is just too much adjustment. Good thing I don’t play baseball, golf, tennis, or pickleball, and avoid weightlifting, swimming, drinking a beer, eating with a fork, and anything else that requires 90 degrees of wrist movement. Like 4 degrees, who does that?

Kidding aside, your work looks impressive and well done.

 

haha while I agree it doesn't sound like much, it actually makes a substantial difference when it comes to aim and a more natural point (biology!). And thank you! I've spent a good amount of time developing it

 

Looks good, In your final detailing , I would round or smooth out the sharp top edge.
Nice work

 

Agreed, that's something I would like to do however the manufacturing process is preventing me from being able to get a nice rounded edge. I'd sand them after the fact but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to achieve a uniform result every time so I decided to leave it to the end user to do so if they feel so inclined.

 

Just this week one of my coworkers showed me his Gen5 G19 where he cut in half one of his back straps right in the middle of the grip, a little higher up than the OP’s here.

Looked strange at first, felt great though!

 

It looks like what youve accomplished is, lowering the bore axis to try and mimic the 1911's, which to me, becomes a negative, and is a negative when you compare the 1911's (and most of the others) to the Glocks. Bore axis is a thing, grip angle isn't.

And you can see that in your diagrams. Using your finger to wrist diagrams, my trigger finger rests in the same place on the frame of my 1911's as it does on the frame of my Glocks when I "point" the guns with my finger out of the trigger guard parallel with the slide. Nothing changes "grip to gun wise" when my finger goes into the trigger guard. The gun still points to what Im pointing it at, and all that moves is my finger. I don't move my trigger finger by breaking my wrist to move it like you show in your diagrams.

Something that seems to be lost on a lot of people too when you compare the 1911's grip to the Glocks is, the original 1911's had a flat MSH with a longer trigger, and for "most" people point shooting them naturally, the guns shot "low". The solution was the A1 modifications, with the short triggers and arched MSH, which corrected the shooting low issue. That correction makes the grip of the 1911A1's and the Glocks very close and similar. All it takes to see that, is to lay one atop the other and see.

The whole grip angle complaint thing has always been kind of comical to me too. Once you shoot the guns with "slightly" different grips, your brain learns that and adjusts when you switch back and forth between them. And once its got that down, "point" shooting back and forth at will with any of them, isn't an issue or even noticeable.

I'm with you on this. Imagine how these people deal with wearing a different pair of shoes, driving a different car, or worse, switching their coffee mugs up! They probably miss their mouth completely, coffee goes everywhere. When they go to a restaurant they bring their own fork. What if the tines were just slightly different than theirs at home??? Geez, with a 4 degree grip change being too much, putting a revolver in their hands is full on cause for duck and cover.

It's a non-issue, grab the gun, line the sights up, and shoot.

 

Are you going to be offering these for sale?

 

Yep! I made them available on Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D38FHY61.

 

This changes the grip angle from 22° to 18° which gives a more natural point, smooths out the hump, and leaves room for a magwell. It’s made of a carbon fiber nylon blend which is extremely strong and it fits like a glove.
Where can I find these for my Glock 43X?

Well, I can tell a difference in grip angle.
And as far as other stuff goes, when I replaced my defunct HP computer with an iMac, the smaller keyboard has upset my touch typing for quite a long time.

Nice. I like it.
Thanks for the adding the link. May pick one up and give ‘er a go.

 

Sounds good! If you decide to I'd love to hear your feedback after you've had some time to test it out.

 

They come in camo for my 23.3?

 

haha I wish

 

This is a lovely piece of engineering and manufacturing. I think what ak103k meant to say is that you have RAISED the effective bore axis by lowering the highest grip point relative to the barrel. I agree with them that this negates a major advantage of the Glock grip. The original Hogue Handall Universal grip works for me (Universal Grip Sleeves - HandALL Grip Sleeves - Hogue Products) but the new "beaver tail" versions (GLOCK - Handgun Grips - Hogue Products) also raise the bore axis.

 

Thank you! And true, it does slightly raise the bore axis by slightly more than the thickness of a quarter, 2.25mm to be exact.

 

Waste of time.

 

It serves a purpose for some of us. Now, I can have Glock's again.

 

Great engineering !

 

Thank you!

 

does this mount over grip/ backstrap or do you have t cut something…. why do you need a beaver tail on a glock?

 

Nothing needs to be cut, it mounts like an OEM backstrap. I like having a beavertail, big hands.

 

This add-on would work for me. I never got a Glock because the natural grip angle pointed way off target for me. Very interesting! You're a clever fellow!

 

Love to have one, do you make them for the G22?

 

Not yet but I'm trying to make them for all/most of the full size glocks so maybe in the next few months

 

Very pretty gun I like it.

Mini Militia App Lock​

 

Now that Grip Force appears to be de facto defunct, it's nice to see another adapter source.

 

Thank you for sharing this. I love the one on my 48, so I ordered 2 for my 19 and my significant other’s 19 that I’m almost done with.

 

Awesome! Glad you're liking the one for your 48 and I'm looking forward to hearing how you like the ones for the 19!

 

Deleted comment. Saw where they are available for sale.

 

So it’s compatible with Glock 49 ?

 

Wow that's the first time I've actually heard of a Glock 49. My understanding is the 49 shares the same frame as the 19 so in that case, yes!

 

what does this do to the length of pull on various glock models?

specs?

before and after?

 

Sorry, not ignoring this. I just need to put time into a graphic that shows the difference it makes. I'll post it when its available.

 

G 19 gen 3???

 

Only 4 and 5 for now. May make one for the earlier gens.
