Now they have been out a while, how are you guys liking them?

Any caveats?

I've invested heavily in the P365 for my subcompact needs, but I love my GG19's texture and ergonomics enough that I bought second one (and I'd buy a couple GG17s too if they'd make them). Now I'm considering maybe a GG subcompact build, especially with Glock finally making 15rd mags.

Love mine. Been meaning to get it in some local outlaw matches. Like that the grip is slightly longer and wider as the glock grip was too skinny, without making it harder to conceal. They also eliminated the stippling on the beavertail so no eating up the web between thumb and finger.

I didn't realize they made the grip slightly wider. That should help shootability a bit.  

The OEM grip length of the G48 never bothered me though. I have large hands, but long skinny fingers, so the grip width and depth probably would matter more to me.

I measured with calipers. About 1/8" longer front to back and about 1/16" wider side to side. Not a huge amount. Don't remember the exact numbers but this is a close estimate.

I love my GG43X.  My favorite carry gun.  I have the GG19 also.  Great frame but a bit large for me so I'm trying to sell it and build another GG43X.

I've got 2 gg43x builds and I love them, I've had zero issues with either of them so far.

Cool. Thanks.
Sometimes slight differences can have a big impact.

The 19 frame was thebiggest improvement over the original. Now if they would just make 17 size and 20/21 size. Please and thank you.

GG21 frame would be awesome!  It will probably never happen.

A GG17 frame could be used for a lot of cool builds though. I want a G34 on a GG frame.

Well with the increased love of 10mm, a 20/21 frame could be beneficial. Definately need a 17/22 size.

The Grit Grips 19 frame is a bit larger than factory FYI.  Depending on how a large frame GG was built, it may or may not solve the frame issue for some. I prefer the factory Gen 6 19 frame personally.  I do LOVE the GG 43X frame (which is also a bit bigger than factory).

Does anyone know if Grit Grips will have a Labor Day sale or something?

This has the biggest need in aftermarket Glock frames for years!

P80 used to make 20/21 frames.  Lonewolf does now.  Also, SCT frames are great and priced right and available at Bass Pro/Cabelas over the counter.
