DaveF Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Recently bought Glock 34 Gen4. I like it very much, but the grip angle is quite different (well documented) than the 1911 pistols I am used to shooting. Does anyone know how I might be able to get the aim point a tad lower and still be legal for SSP? I bought a "Grip Force" adapter and tried that out, it worked pretty good, but is considered a rule violation for SSP so I can't use it in competition. Grip tape and grip sleeves are allowed though, and I'm curious if anyone has used tape and/or grip sleeve to revise the grip angle on their Glock? Thanks for any help.

PistoleroJesse Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I don't know of any way, but I'm wondering why you didn't buy an M&P or FNS if you wanted to stay in SSP with a 1911 grip angle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Just shoot ESP with the grip force adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayonaise Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Just shoot ESP with the grip force adapter. I use the GFA in ESP. It was legal for a bit in SSP but IDPA reversed the decision. http://gripforceproducts.com/ I believe that this is something coming from Glock Gen 4's, eventually.

EkuJustice Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 or add an arched MSH housing to the 1911 and get it to point similar to a glock so you can get use to the same feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 At one point idpa said it was legal but they quickly reversed that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoleroJesse Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Pistolero - I guess I didn't do quite enough homework..... Pardon my tone if it came off as snide, but I was just curious if there was another factor in choosing the G34... I bet you could get it sold fairly easily for little loss if you did decide that one of those others were more to your liking... Since you are running a Gen 4, is cutting off the lower half of a backstrap cheating for SSP? It is a stock part, just modified... maybe there is some wiggle room there without having to go with the beaver tail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 You should be able to play with the backstrap as IDPA considers that as a removal grip panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayonaise Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 You should be able to play with the backstrap as IDPA considers that as a removal grip panel. I agree. I think their reasoning is that Glock didn't make the part. That said, I believe Glock is developing one and is closer to that as I have seen some Gen 4's that have a raised bump at the top of the beaver tail, possibly to accommodate some revised or new backstrap.

DaveF Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thanks all. I appreciate the help. I have been Dremeling off some of the backstrap. It seems to be helping. I think I will keep Dremeling..... Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvb Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Does anyone know how I might be able to get the aim point a tad lower Bend your wrists more. only partly sarcasm... I recently switched from berettas and 1911s to a G34. No mods to the gun. Drive the sights with your vision, it'll work itself out. -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
