rupie Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I saw a MGM Beaver tail that is held in place by a rubber sleeve, has anyone used one of these and I wonder if you can epoxy it onto the grip instead of the rubber sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of their prototypes - it certainly helps me point the gun better, I usually shoot 2011 frames but pick up a glock for a once a year match. I've never had slide bite, but it will prevent that if you're prone to it. TimE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupie Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Not only am I prone to it, it is almost guaranteed every time I shoot, you would think I would build up scar tissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeweyH Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I use one and it works great for keeping the slide off of your hand. I haven't noticed that it points or controls recoil any better. I taped mine on with vinyl tape and then overwrapped the grip with rubber tape. Works like a charm. If you decide to epoxy it let us know how it turns out.

dqshooter Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I put one on my Glock 35 limited gun and wrapped it with Agrip and I feel that it works great. If you have large hands it will keep you from getting bit. I have found that it does help with my draw and position of the gun on the first target.

Jesse Tischauser Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I would assume that the MGM Beaver Tail is NOT legal for Production class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPatterson Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 No it is not!!!!! I picked one up at the Nationals but I can't draw 100% reliably with it, 1 in 20 or so tries I am coming down on the end of it. For someone with huge meaty hands it might help with slide bite but personally I took mine off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I bought one for my G35 limited gun because I always get slide bite. It stopped the slide bite all together. So I bought one for my G34 as well for 3 gun. I wish I could use it for Production. I shaved about 50% of the tail off as I was getting my thumb hung up on it too. Now it works great. I'm gonna have to try to secure them with epoxy eventually. I'll post a picture tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmc1974 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Why don't ya just take a little JB quick weld and make one. Looks a whole lot better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Why don't ya just take a little JB quick weld and make one. Looks a whole lot better.. That looks nice! However, I don't have the patience to make anything that takes longer than a pizza. I thought about having my local Gunsmith, Accurate Iron make me one but for $20 I could try the glocktail without too much work or cost. Plus the G34 gets used for 3 gun and production so I gotta be able to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_deaner Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Why don't ya just take a little JB quick weld and make one. Looks a whole lot better.. That is awesome. How did you color the JB Weld black? It normally dries to an ugly gray color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmc1974 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 It is kind of hard to do but mostly takes time. The quick weld drys a darker gray so is easy to add black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
