bpipe95 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Started my beavertail tonight. It seems to be working well so far, more sanding tomorrow and maybe a coat of primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razerok1 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 What did you end up using the jb quick or the Devcon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpipe95 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Devcon, it has been easy to work with so far. Just taking it slow and getting the shape perfect for my hand. Thank you for the recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpipe95 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Will do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazinBob Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Haven't gotten bitten yet, but so far my 17 has only been used for relaxed range shooting. First match is upcoming which I'm sure is a whole different story. Anybody use the Grip Force Adapter? Would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpipe95 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) v1.0 Much better than stock, i will be shooting it tonight if I like where it is I will leave it if not I can add or remove material. Edit: Well to say the least, I like it! Thanks for the help! Edited January 11, 2012 by bpipe95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARKAVELI Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I voted no, I guess my pimp hand is way strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRHALL Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Since I voted yes & Glock has a beavertail version for the Gen 4 I'd be willing to try Glocks again . That is if anyone really has one. I've yet to see one,find anybody that has one or can order one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadslinger275 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Big hands and glock bite usually equals good grip (usually)!!! Took a few months off shooting need that callous back so I quit bleeding all over my gun every time I shoot!!! Gen 4 can fix it with the different backstraps... I still love my Gen 3 I won't betray you sweety!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smo11 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've never been bitten and I have fairly large hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillR1 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I voted yes! I have pretty meaty paws. Mine is on the index finger side of the webbing rather than the thumb side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo11 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I've never been bitten and I have fairly large hands I take back what I said I think I jinxed myself because 3 days after I posted I was doing some live fire drills and tried to go too fast and got a bad grip on the gun and got bitten didn't make me bleed just scrached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKtruck150 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I have never been bitten to where it bleeds, but in a match I do notice that it does rub on my hand just a bit. Enough to leave a dark spot, and thats about it. I hope it never grabs me too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopPop Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Never been bit. Several Glocks, informal and competition. Large hands but not particularly meaty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First match is upcoming which I'm sure is a whole different story. Anybody use the Grip Force Adapter? Would you recommend? Yes. The Grip Force Adapter is a Godsend for me. IDPA allows it in SSP as well but it will get you bumped from Production Divisioin in USPSA. I now have one on all my Glocks including my G19 carry gun.

shuey134 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I've never been bitten by any gun, I must have small hands. Friend of mine gets bitten by my glock all the time, but he still loves it. Better than his M&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAB81 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I've shot thousands of rounds through all my Glocks (including the G17,19,20SF,21SF,22,23,26,30SF,34,35), and I have never been bitten by one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madcap Magician Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Never a problem across any pistol. I guess I don't have big enough hands to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck D Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 ...I was up late last night looking for someone who could "manufacture" a beavertail for my G21. I also visited the Grip Force Adapter website to see if they offered one for a G21...which according to the website they don't. I had settled on spending $195.00 with Robar (ouch). I bought an extra adapter when I bought them for my 4th Gen 17 and 3rd Gen 19. Popped it out of the box and low and behold it fits the G21 perfectly. No more slide bite on any of my Glocks....period and now I have $195.00 to spend somewhere else ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangGreg66 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I voted a while ago, yes. I just thought I'd share my latest experience. I shoot production regularly with a G34 and don't normally experience slide bite, if I did, I think I would shoot a diffrent pistol. I have fairly large hands and this weekend shooting the GSSF match, all my guns bit me. I think it was something to do with the higher grip I got as I started low ready. My second string of the day bit me pretty good, actually drew blood. I got tagged off and on all day which certainly didn't help my scores. The bandaid I put on it after the first stage got torn up throughout the day as well. I think maybe I'll have to rethink my grip for the GSSF, low ready start.
