beavertails on gen 3 glocks in production or CO

[EnochTactical]

The new rules for production and carry optics slightly confuse me. Would using a grip force adapter or modifying a stock glock gen 4 beavertail to fit a gen 3 be legal? I really need the beavertail on a glock. Also if using it on a gen 3 is illegal I was wondering about using a gen 4 or 5 and cutting the stock beavertail in half so it doesn't extend to the bottom of the grip, anyone know if that would be considered legal.

 

Thank you

I'd say no, unless your model comes with interchangeable backstraps and one of them has a beavertail.  Adding something that never existed on a Gen 3 would not be allowed.

 

For Production:

22.2

Grips

Non OFM grip modifications (addition or removal of material) that provide function, such as a beavertail or thumbrest, are prohibited. Revolver grips may be replaced with grips of any shape, profile, or texture. Adding or removing material to change the profile of Revolver grips is ALLOWED

 

For CO:

Grips

Replacement grip panels are allowed provided they do not extend below the butt of the gun to form a make-shift magwell. Grip modifications such as, but not limited to, undercutting/smoothing the trigger guard, adding or removing finger grooves, or adding stippling, grip tape, or checkering are specifically allowed. Grip tape or grip sleeves cannot disengage a grip safety. Grips may not be modified to create a thumb rest or beavertail.
