Beretta Lover Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I used to shoot a G21 and went to 1911s and Berettas and the XD for a short while WHen I shoot my small framed glocks G17/34 I lacerate the web of my shooting hand with my glock slide coming back I dehorned the slide a little, I dont think a glock add on beavertail is legal in USPSA or IDPA, and I'd rather pass on using one anyway Anyone else run into this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwmiket Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yeah...........switched to the Smith & Wesson M&P and the problem went away. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911user Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Yeah...........switched to the Smith & Wesson M&P and the problem went away. -Mike Same here. Fat hands and glock slides are not a good mix. Nothing against people who like Glocks, they're just not for me.

2bigfeet Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Can't tell you how many times my 34 has made me bleed. I have to use an add on beavertail (Smart Lock)... our weekly shoots are pretty loose on the rules. Glock's suck for anyone with XL hands, the web of my hand just rides right up and over that sorry excuse they call a beavertail. I've have seen lots of cut hands with the rental 17 at the range as well. The range owner just ordered a Glocktail. As soon as the M&P Pro is released I'm all over it just for the beavertail.

Flexmoney Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 That add on beaver tail (or the build up real kind) are only illegal in Production division. Good to go in Limited and L-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I used to shoot a lot of GSSF (Glock only match) and my 17 cut me every time; I also have big mits. Back when Sevigny came to GSSF events, he showed us his Limited Glock and a Open/steel glock he once had - he pointed out that he had slightly beveled the lower edge of the cocking serations on those guns so they would not cut him (though not on his Production Glock of course). But stick with the Glock; if Dave can work around the issue, I am sure you will also find a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proraptor Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have large hands and have never been cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 No cuts here...this thread reminds me of the old physician adage... Patient-"Doc, it hurts when I do this." *makes awkward arm movement* Doc-"Then stop doing that!" If the Glock platform doesn't suit your shooting, then go with what works! There are plenty of alternatives in every division of USPSA, as well as IDPA. XD, M&P, CZ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 How to... Link to custom built beaver tails (and grip reduction) from Brownells: http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/GunTech/N...p;t=1&i=381 Agaoin, just a note....that isn't Productin legal. Legal in Limited, L-10, and Open. I'm not sure how IDPA would view it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
