GEN4 Beavertail

Picture of the complete kit as it will be sold.

It comes with one each medium and large no beavertail and medium and large with beavertail. Kinda a weird way to package the thing if you ask me.

Picture and info from the shot show.

That's because they're for Gen4 models, which of course come with the two non-beavertail backstraps by default. The kit adds the two beavertail backstraps, a plactic punch for removing and inserting the TH pin, and an extended TH pin.

I'm glad to see that these are finally becoming available. Since I really like the naked Gen 4 frame, yet I am a horrific slide bite victim, I've been cutting the beavertail portion off of GFA's and epoxying them directly to the frame. Works for Gen 3's too.

it would be a factory replacement part so it wouldn't have to be shipped with a new gun, just available as a factory option. Same theory as the 34/35 slide stop and extended mag release on a G17/19 pistol.

"It's official. Factory and aftermarket beavertails are legal on any Glock. Frame mods to build a beavertail are not."

Looks like you can also use a Grip Force for either Gen 3 or Gen 4.

They are discussing GSSF and not USPSA rules.

I emailed Glock after reading this last night and received a response bright and early this am. They sent me a list of parts for ordering and the Beavertail backstraps were on the list. I ordered a few today.

Here is the order form...

  • 2 weeks later...

I sent my order in 3/14 or 3/15. Just checked with my bank and the check cleared 3/27. Hopefully I will recv them next week. I did call Glock and they said normally an order takes from 3 to 6 weeks.

razerok1 do you feel the added material at the webbing leading up the tail?

no it actually blends very very well it just looks funny in pictures... I can't feel it at all. it feels no different that this one

That would be cool if the beavertail was production legal.

i was under the impression that it was production legal.
