IGOTGLOCKED Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I live where it gets HOT in the summer consequently I adopted a 43 for deeper concealment at weddings, funerals, etc, as a jacket cannot always be worn. I shoot it well however I would like the grip to be fuller. I have Talons on it which helps the slip due to being pretty snappy with +p, still would like to be just a little fuller in my hands. Any suggestions? Thanks from IGG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapribek Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 How about one of the new Hogue slip on grips? My buddy put one on his 43 and loves it. https://www.hogueinc.com/grips/handall/beavertail/glock42-43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvibe Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Just put a TTI extension on the mag. 1 more finger on it without it being as long as the glock pinky extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2MoreChains Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 The slimness of the G43 doesn’t bother me, but really like how more controllable it feels with the TTI +2 extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carry AIWB with a wedge that pushes the gun butt into my stomach. It also rides more or less where your belt buckle would be, so unless you’re an emaciated stick the +2 doesn’t extend beyond my body enough to print.

CleverNickname Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Instead of taking a single-stack gun and trying to make the grip thicker, just use a double-stack gun that already has a thicker grip. A Glock 26 sounds like what you want, it's basically the same dimensions as the Glock 43 in all the dimensions except thickness (and therefore grip circumference).

The holster you refer to sounds like Black Tactical... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost bought the 26 as opposed to the 43 but the 43 conceals better and is lighter for my purposes. But thanks for a great reason to adopt another Glock! Cheers!

IGOTGLOCKED Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Ok, went to a lgs looking for a Hogue slip over, they didn't have one so they talked me into trying a Pachmyr grip which didn't have the beaver tail but tried it any way. It was nice but not exactly the feel I was looking for. Jumped on Amazon and had the drone deliver a Hogue with the beaver tail I originally wanted, bingo! Feels like a different gun and it fills my palm due to it having a designed in palm swell. When I put in my Glock oem extended magazine I am able to get a full hand on it. Can't wait to shoot it now! Seek and ye shall find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
