Grip Force Adapter for Glock

Featured Replies

I just read another post in this forum about Glocks and quite a few ergo complaints. I saw the Grip Force Adapter on Youtube (several video reviews) and seems to be helpful with the inherent forward angle of the Glock. For $25 it might be worth it for some of you. I am thinking of buying one only because I had two RO's tell me to be careful of slide bite. The GFA not only changes the grip angle but gives you a small beaver tail (bigger than the almost non-existent one with Glocks, but nowhere the size of other handguns.

Anybody have one?

Buh buh but Glocks are PERFECT...

As always I recommend you buy a gun that fits your hand instead of modifying one that doesn't.

I have 3 glocks, G19, G22(gen4), G30, and I have never been bitten by the slide.. you are either holding it wrong or it's not the right fit for you ... I thought about the GFA too, but i think it's pointless...

I have never been bit by slide bite either and frankly thought it was impossible given how I hold it, but when two RO's tell me that I keep it in the back of my mind. I fired 1300 rounds in the last 6 weeks and had no problem. I was mostly pointing the GFA out since other Glock owners were mentioning they did not like the forward angle on the grip...doesn't bother me.

So the possibility of reducing slide bite and getting a good purchase on it from the holster interest me. This is my only firearm...4 years now and my old accesory are XS big dots. I need to buy something...I get jealous reading all the posts on this forum. Seiously, its only 26 bucks so i will probably give it a try.

If you have lean hands, slide bite shouldn't be a problem. If you have meaty hands, it can.

Pat of the reason Glocks are so easy to shoot IS the grip angle. While it is not the 1911 angle that is the standard for the shooting world, an angled grip is nothing new. Look at Lugers, the Ruger Mark line of 22 target pistols, and lots of others I can't think of at the moment. While the ergonomics of the grip may be brick-like, I think the grip angle makes the gun point very naturally if you are open to trying it. Now how about a Glock with a contoured grip like the HK45, but also the standard Glock grip angle? That would be something I was interested in.

I had a motorcycle accident the day after Thanksgiving in 2011. In addition to breaking a variety of bones, I now have a hump of tissue in on a joint of my thumb in the web of my hand. I've shot 1000's of rounds through my G19's prior and never had a problem w/ slide bite. I'm finding that since the accident, that hump of tissue is getting knicked by the slide when I have a good tight grip. Seriously considering the GFA. My only concern is that it's going to lengthen the distance to the trigger a bit. Not crazy about that idea. I'd consider selling off one my G19's (1x Gen2, 1x Gen3) for a Gen4 w/ the GFA, but haven't been sold on the reliability of current production 9mm Glocks. Sad.
