Has anyone used the grip force adapter for glock? They claim it changes the grip angle to that of a 1911, (which I like) and the beavertail would obviously take care of my slide bite problem on my 23.
couldn't find any unpaid reviews for it so i figured id post and see if anyone likes them. http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af147/jlyons10/gripfoce.jpg" /> http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af147/jlyons10/gripforce.jpg |
| I got one for my g17 rtf2 because I was having slide bite like crazy. Other than having a little difficulty getting it on, it works like a champ. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for my g19 even before I had my 19 in hand. That one went on a lot better than the first. (I think I was doing it wrong the first time). Can't say about the grip angle because I haven't noticed a difference, but it definitely solves my slide bite problem. |

I get slide bite occasionally when competing in IPSC matches. No real biggie just a pair of parallel lines scratched into the web between my index finger & thumb. 7mm |

Nope. Maybe I just have a proper grip? When your hands are big, even with a proper grip, you'll get slide bite on a Glock. That statement is like one I read in a letter to a gun magazine one time. A reader wrote that there is no reason for a beavertail safety on a 1911 because he's been shooting one for 40 years and never experienced hammer bite, so everyone who does must have an improper grip. |

Which is the same as saying everyone who hasn't gotten slide-bite from a Glock has "little girly hands". See where this is going?

| Slide bite is real. I never used to have it until I adopted a thumbs forward grip about 10 yrs ago. Ideally, you want your hands as high on the grip as possible to mitigate recoil. For me, its occasional and I don't really notice it when hitting the range for a target day. However, I definitely notice it when doing quick draw drills from the holster while trying to maintain a high hold. The reality is that you're just not going to get the ideal grip when drawing fast. If you're just plinking on paper, you probably won't notice it. |
