I can understand the triangles and the downward pressure, from a structure (a building or a wall) and how that helps strengthen the walls. But what I don't get is how having triangles stippled into your grip helps strengthen your frame. You're not exerting downward pressure. You're using lateral pressure to keep the gun in your grip.
Again, I call bullshit.
Could you provide photos of this? I'm having a hard time figuring out where someone would weld up on the barrel? Both my 19 (gen 3 and 4) and my gen 4 34 have a tight lock up. I can't see how/where one could weld and not effect accuracy negatively.
I carry my G17 as a back up for my 34. I haven't needed it yet, but another competitor needed it, so he borrowed it for the match cuz his 17 went down.
I leave the replacement parts at home.
That'd be great, and I wonder if they'll be selling the competition grip like they do for the current offerings. Also, I wonder if one could install a comp grip on a full size slide and fcu, that they already own.
