J-Rob Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Has anyone heard any news lately about the GEN4 beavertail backstrap that Glock was supposed to come out with this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrVvrroomm Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 They have not and probably never will release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayonaise Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 They have not and probably never will release it. Something will be coming. There are already Gen 4's with some added material on the beaver tail to accommodate a change in the backstraps. Not all Gen 4's but I have seen some that have the feature.

bishop414 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 If you can get an OEM glock backstrap with beavertail, will that be allowed in Prodcution class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellM Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 oh, I hope so. If you can get an OEM glock backstrap with beavertail, will that be allowed in Prodcution class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUshooter Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I guess I don't get it, which may explain why I'm still B, but the tail would just get in the way of my really high grip. I've tried Glocks with a tail, and it just bugges the hell outta me. Maybe that's one of the reasons I don't like 1911's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's one of the reasons I don't like 1911's. if you can get a good high grip and not get slide bite then you don't need one. my fat hands get the crap bit out of them though, till i learned how to make my own beavertail.

Chuck D Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 It would be nice if you could actually "buy" one from the factory. It would be even "nicer" if someone at the factory knew what you were talking about when you called them and asked if you could buy one... Wishful thinking... I know.

That is how I got the one I have. Care to share a picture? Not calling you a liar, I'd honestly like to see one. you got lucky if you really did get one. I know that Glock handed out a couple of them to certain people but besides that they have not released them to the public. I've called Glock many many many times trying to get my hands on one.

bishop414 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Time to bump seeing how SHOT is coming up fast. For those going, can someone see if Glock will ever mass produce these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonovanM Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If you can get an OEM glock backstrap with beavertail, will that be allowed in Prodcution class? I don't think a G34 with one would fit in the box, but a G17, yes. Probably. Have you guys heard of the Grip Force Adapter...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop414 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yes, but by definition Grip force is not Production legal. Also, they do not allow for the use of the larger backstraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shokr21 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Both of those are over a month old. but thanks for providing some reference, believe me I'm not holding my breath for 00bullit's pics! I can't really get excited over this. I bought the gfa to give it a shot, it changes the pull just a enough that I have to shift my hand to hit the mag or slide release, w/o the gfa it appears that Mr. Glock made the small caliber frames for my hand.
