Anyone ever heard of this gun "Glock 19"?

[TimboKhan]

Haha, suckers! Mod troll!

My real question rotates around the aftermarket Glock beavertails. Who has used them, how well did they work? Are they a durable product, are they crap on a stick? I think my XD is going to be retired and the 19 will be ascendant in my defensive plan, because I am more and more a Glock fan. However, I do get slide bit by them a bit. For some reason my 26 does not bite me, but I want a bigger pistol for HD and occasional carry.

As a side note to all of that, what's the chance that someone will respond to my post without reading anything but the headline? I say now, if someone does I am going to be both sad and delighted....

Never used one but they seem to be cheap enough that it couldn't hurt to try. Looks like it only take one pin to install and you can find them for a lil over ten bucks new, so why not?

You can see Ken Hackathorn talk about the grip force adapter in this video with Larry Vickers and Dave Harrington.

The gen 4 beaver tails work if your hands are large enough.

The Grip Force adapter is a quality product. I use one on my Gen 2 Glock 19. Amazon has them for around $23.

I got my G19 before the beavertails came out, so I've never used them. I have a buddy who uses them on a G23, and he loves them. (You know, because things that you read on the internet from a buddy of a buddy of the second cousin of the poster are worth so much . . . )

ETA: To be clear, my buddy uses the Gen 4 Glock beavertails, not aftermarket ones.

I put one on a 19 once. Other then changing the grip angle from what I was used to making it feel weird, no comment. i guess for someone who gets slide bit, it would be a good mod.

I prefer the beaver tail backstraps on my Gen4 Glocks, don't have any experience with the aftermarket ones.

Try a G17 instead of a G19 first. The Gen 3/4 G17 has different grip dimensions than the G19, and I find that even with my girly-man palm size I can get comfortable with a G17 in ways that I cannot with a G19. I'm sure that your highly masculine meathooks will fare similarly.

I never liked the gen3 aftermarket ones.

But I love the gen4 beaver tails. My 9mm /.40 frames get the largest tail, the .45 frames get the medium. I like the large beavertail on the .45 sometimes, can't really decide, but medium seems to keep all of my Glocks more similar.

 

[BigBore44]

Nope. Never heard of a Glock 19.

 

[R_P_K]

Glock 19? Never heard of her.

 

[Tirod]

Has it been drop tested?

 

[wally]

Heresy! You are messing with Glock Perfection.

 

[TimboKhan]

Thanks for the input!!

 

[CapnMac]

That's the ceramic one with the shoulder thing that goes up, right?

 

[NMPOPS]

I get slide bit occasionally when I grip too high. Got a scar to prove it. Not that bad.

 

[grampajack]

I'm not a fan of the backstraps, but the molded in ones are nice.

I internetted the Glock 19. It tells me: "It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn't show up on your airport X-ray machines here and it costs more than what you make in a month!"

Doubt it will catch on in the US.


I like the medium beavertail on my Gen 4 19 and 17. Had to order a new one for my 26 (which does bite me) since the store didn't have one on the 26 I bought (display model, only one available for like 100 miles at the time).

Love the beavertails I do have though, really helps my grip.

Old news. It's called CZ P10C I have heard good things about it.

Whoever said that doesn't know crap about guns. It's plastic, and it's called the Glock 7. Sheesh, the things you read on the internet...

 

[Hokkmike]

My brother, a Glock pro, says that they G19 is the "pick of the litter'.

 

[Paladin7]

I've been running a GripForce Adapter on my Gen3 Glock 19 since the GripForce Adapter came out and I love the product. Does exactly what it says it will do. I find it also changes the grip angle to be closer to the 1911 angle that I prefer. I would not hesitate to buy a set...

I had the same issue you have, large hands and constantly getting bit by the slide. The GripForce Adapter solved that problem and I am more accurate with my Glock because of it.

 

[Varminterror]

I've always thought someone should make a backstrap with an integrated mag well, so you had a very robust anchoring point at the bottom AND the pin in the backline. I suppose the market just isn't big enough.

 

[wally]

I guess I'm just not low drag, high speed enough to understand the need for a mag well for a gun with a single feed, double stack magazine.
