clawson2011 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Apendix D4 Rule 22.2 clear states, "Grips – any addition or removal of material which changes the factory profile or adds function such as beavertail or thumb rest." I believe the key word is profile. The definition of Profile is, "an outline of something as seen from one side." the backstraps have the same profile in different sizes where as the back of the gun changes profile without the backstrap in place. I'm sure Director NROI would help you if need be. email him at below address got back to me in less than 24 hours.

bikerburgess Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Looking at the picture they appear to be different profiles, similar in shape but not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 The gun with all back straps is on the approved list. The gun without a back strap is not legal. Why am I the only one that thinks that make sense? Sarge and I agree on something...... The sky might be about to fall, but, yeah I think this is really simple..... The guns as supplied come with a bunch of backstrap options and are approved as long as any one of the backstraps is actually installed.... Want to shoot the gun without one? Get S&W or Glock to package a model without any backstraps in the package, and have them make 2,000 available for sale.... Simple. You make your choice and then you live with it, or you change guns..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerburgess Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 So a gen 4 GLOCK without one of the supplied backstraps is illegal in your view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRodriguez Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 tell them it's a clear backstrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prc77 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 The Gen 4 Glock's small backstrap is intergrated into the frame, so yes, Production Legal . The M&P to be "legal" for Production, has to have 1 of the 3 backstraps installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
