Do all Gen 4's come with a beaver tail back strap?
Or just certain ones? Thanks |

I was told yesterday by Glock that the 19's just started shipping with the BT backstrap this past week.
If you just missed it, then you have to call them and order a $16 backstrap kit which comes with all 4 backstraps (med, med BT, large, large BT). It appears the G17 and other large frame guns have been shipping with them for at least a couple of weeks now. But if you don't get them with your gun, you have to order them. They will not ship them to you for free. Coreoy |

Hope this doesn't come across as a hijack;
But while we are on the subject, is it true that in order for your Glock to accept the new beavertails, it needs a 'notch' in the frame? (as in, they make a special gen4 frame, for use with the beavertails?) I saw this posted somewhere, but I'm not sure if it's true. (if it is indeed true, are there any pics floating around?) |

No, the instructions for the beavertail says that the "nose" on the back top of the grip is not necessary, just an extra attachment point. |

You can buy the factory Beavertail backstraps in stock here:
http://www.secamus.com/shop/Eds-Public-Safety/Glock-Beavertail-Backstrap-Kit.html Just make sure you order the correct set for your pistol. There is one set that fits the full size 9mm, 40, and 357 sig and a different set that fits the .45, 10mm |

I put a Gen 4 G19 in layaway yesterday. It had April 1, 2013 as the test fire date on the casing.
I didn't actually look in the box as I thought it was the same crap that always comes in them. I will check next week when I am back by there if they are in the box. I had never heard about this until today. |
