Stop Glock Slide Bite With This Simple Accessory 

Have you ever experienced "slide bite"?

You can cut the beaver tail grip extensions that come stock to do the same thing.

I’m probably jinxing myself saying this, but it’s never happened to me before in over 10k rounds. 🤞

I have a G17 GEN 3 for home defense and carry a G26 GEN 5. Since I started using a higher grip, my shots have improved a lot, but sometimes a get these snake bites. On my G26 GEN5 I solved the problem using the beaver tail that comes from fabric, but there is no option for my G17 GEN3. Great to see this product. Gonna buy it right now. For those who say that never had snake bites, maybe you're hands are thin or you are just wasting a great chance to improve your grip. I know how to shoot with my hands high and not get a snake bite, but with a grip as high as possible, your shooting will improve a LOT, especially on fast sequences. Sorry for my english, I'm brazilian

I used to add these to all of my Glocks. Love the product.

I’ve never had slide bite from any gun I have ever used. That being said, I have had slight hammer bite from my 1911 from having a grip that was just exactly right for that. Having a slightly longer beaver tail on a Glock would very much help prevent slide bite if you’re prone to it.

These are a must have for any Gen 3 Glocks for sure. These work great 👍🏻

My dad's Glock 45 came with 3 different beaver tail extensions. He got bit pretty bad once and it took a chunk out of his hand.

I love mine. Really makes a difference of the feel of the gun in hand too.

I made one from one of the extra grip back straps on a gen 4. Cut it off right under the pin.

Man I am so happy to see these again 😊

Lenny, you are an awesome instructor! Thanks for all your videos, much appreciated!!!

My agency used Glocks for years and as a firearms instructor, I’ve never seen, or heard of, this issue with Glocks. Original 1911 and various other designs, sure, but not with Glocks. I guess if it’s a problem for a shooter, glad to know this is an option.

This tail extension is the main reason I ran the smallest grip extension, however I didn't really want to increase the pull to the trigger, I'll be ordering soon Lenny

Had one a dozen years ago for my duty G17 and liked it... until I collided with a metal door frame and it broke. If these will correctly mate with a PSA Dagger I may try one. Better yet, if they decide to make a mold for the PSA or other clones it might be attractive. For those who have never had a slide bite the web of your hands... you're lucky.

Glock’s come with back straps, I had 2 or 3 in my G26/G19 box

Lol, I had that problem with my g32 and I took one of the backstraps that came with the gun and I had cut it to make exactly what you guys are selling now. I did this 3 years ago.

Thank God these guys are back. I have several Gen 3 Glocks and lemme tell ya, the Chinese knock off grip force adapters suck ass. I thought these guys went outta biz. So happy they're back. I'll be picking up a few more. Grip Force Products - if you guys can come up with something for the G48 I'll get one.

My 23 Gen 4 came with backstraps that have that feature. It was one of the first things I installed when I got the gun home.

Thanks Lennie for the video- I'll be in tomorrow to pick this accessory up.

Installed this on my gen 2 19. I’ve got meaty hands and this was perfect however it did move the trigger slightly farther from my finger which is the only thing I dislike.

I cant imagine the sensation of my hand hair being sent with the ejected casing from being caught in the slide 😂

Yes, my hands are XL and i use to get oil marks on my hand from the slide... I sent my two glocks (26 & 23) to an armorer that added the extra beaver tail approximately 20 years ago.. they are still running strong. I don't know how he did it but it was integrated into the glock grip.

1st time I have nomenclature comment: A beaver tail on a pistol looks like a beaver's tail sticking out from the gun. Many 20th century semiautomatic pistols had them not only to protect from slide bite, it also protects from hammer bite. The very pronounced 1911 beaver tail is almost a work of art. Once you go to hammerless guns the problem is reduced. In the Glock with no hammer, less attention has to be paid to bite. The problem is lack of training and practice plus quick development. Of course hand size is a factor, and while my hands are bigger than average, yours are bigger and have more meat on them. The product is wonderful for protecting your hand

Not so much slide bite, more like "slide glide" where the slide runs across the web of the hand and leaves tracks of oil on the skin. I bought these Beaver Tails kits (2) for my Gen 4 Glock 22 several years back and like them. They are a bit flexible on the top but that hasn't been an issue so far. It did help with my grip and my accuracy did improve a little bit. Glad to see they've back.

Let me know when the maker finally decides to make these for the 43/43X/48 series, they are notorious for inducing slide bite. The full sized frames... not so much.

I did get one of these about 10 years ago when I started working security and it actually makes for a better purchase on the weapon as well

I bought 3 sets from the San Diego store 5-6 years ago. Best 12-15 dollars ever spent.

My G47 came with these in the box and gives an even better grip feel on the gun itself. I'm assuming the market for this is for people who either lost theirs or are using an older gen of glock.

glad to see this come back!!

Would this nullify the short frame grip advantage on any "SF" model?

Have them on all My gen 3s 🔥🔥🔥

Carried a 2nd gen 23…and a 3rd gen 27 for 20 years as a deputy sheriff and never got bit

Do you get the irony that your entire business is built upon solving all the problems of "Glock Perfection"???

Another lesson from The Glock Professor.

I've had the snakebite. LOL. First time I ever shot the gun. Right in front of the firearm instructor. Ouch. The instructor says "don't do that".

Yep my 1st time shooting a Glock 31 I got bit and it was worth it I bought after that sweetest G31 I had too

When I was first learning how to draw from concealed, and was moving too fast trying to beat a range timer, drew my gun, was way too high on my grip and the slide racked back sliced my thumb so good thought I was going to need stitches... needless to say, that range day ended early.

These were a life saver on a Glock27 I once had. I just wish it extended more outward towards the back another 1/4" or so.

I installed one on my revolver,,,,works great !! 😋

I did it 60 times in a row g32 lol

These are legit . I wish Glock would do like magpul and make a grip that comes with installable front and rear options ( dove tail , finger groves ... )

Gen 5 comes with back straps that do this too

I’m new to shooting, how common does bite happen and when it does how bad is it? By common I mean out of how many years or rounds shot do you get bit or get close. Is the bite injury the same as accidentally shaving skin off or is it like yanking a fishing hook out of you?

Do a video on your training dvd's. They are great I have all of them! New viewers may not have heard of them....

maybe dont grip the pistol so high that it bites you. just maybe trying to grip a semi auto pistol as high as possible reaches a point of diminishing returns. just a thought

I’ve never heard of slide bite issues with Glocks

I only get mag bite which kind of sucks with anything shorter than a g17 grip lenth. Mind you I have extra large hand size

I've only ever gotten slide bite once, and it was also the first time I ever shot a gun

Perfection. But you need to add this now, change the plastic sights out of the box. Work on the trigger or replace it. And some even change the barrel. Luckily much better option out there.

I've got them on ALL my Glocks!👍🏾

The best accessory to avoid snake bite from your Glock is the Smith & Wesson M&P pistol!

Went to look at some handguns today at Rural King. Every time the guy handed me the gun I cleared it, even after seeing him do it. He looked at me like I was crazy. Don’t get complacent people. Lol

ordered this morning!

First time I shot a Beretta 92…trip to ER and 3 stitches. Then I knew😂.

Or by an HK, CZ, or Walther...

Eventually these “snakebites” will stop once a callus forms. Then the slide will glide over the callus.

My stepbrother made the mistake of wrapping his left thumb over the web of his right hand and learned not to do that with the first shot that took a good chunk out of the thumb knuckle closest to the web of his hand! I know that hurt! After that he actually listened closely to me explain how to grip the gun.

Weird because then Gen4 came with the oem back strap kit 2 with beaver and 2 with thicker grip.

Glock includes different sized backstraps that do the same thing. I guess that was designed for people with small hands, as that doesn't increase grip size.

Great product.

I jam the web of my thumb/finger into the beavertail. IDK how you could possibly grip the glock without knowing you're too high. It's insanely uncomfortable with the beavertail pushing into your hand instead of being on top of it.

I wish Glock would just start making the extra beaver tail into the frame.

now make one for the 43x

did this place used to be in San Diego? Thought I saw an old video where he said San D.

Do they make them for the 43X and the 48 yet?

My 19 Gen 5 came with several beaver tails from the factory.

If you have a Gen 4 or 5 don't the back straps work?

Hammer bites are the best

My G-19 gen 5 came WITH two optional beaver tails.

Never heard of such a thing

want to buy . can't find the product on the store site.

Lenny can we see the thing from the side a little bit to see how it looks at least?

Yes, once, glock 19. I learned pretty quick. Does not feel good.

Why don't yall make something for the 43/43x series pistols?

Worst thing about "slide bite" is it damages the gang tattoo located between the thumb & index finger.

I have huge bear paw hands with my 6’4 frame. I’ve carried Glocks since the 80’s, especially Glock 17’s. I’ve never ever once had slide-bite with any Glock.

stuff like this makes me happy to have a 3d printer

Never had this problem with my 2nd generation M22. Even with Cor-Bon +P's

I honestly did not know that was an issue for people shooting glocks. Everyones hands are different I guess❤

Good stuff!

This just looks like a cut down factory blackstrap. Is that the case or is it a different piece

? Do these fit p 80% frames? It sure be nice ifin they do. Lot of folks would really appreciate that. Thanks for the heads up on these.

No beavertail for G43X

Great Video

What about for the G43x mos?

Modifying perfection! Heresy!

and now it points like a 1911 ..right on ..have one , used smooth one also IT WORKS turns a glock into a 2011 .. at 1/2 the price ..

Don't the Gen 5's come with those now?

Same thing with the 1911 but it was designed better. Got to be careful with both.

Okay, you want to sell it...I want to buy it. You're out of stock. Do they make it for the 43X MOS?

PLEASE tell me they make one for the 43x ??????????????????

Gen 5?! Gen5 comes with back straps in the box

Slide bit

Glock 30 GEN 3 yes or no

The way I stopped Glock slide bite was I stopped buying Glocks. Big beefy hands and Glocks dont mix. I love Glocks for their durability/reliability but my hands are too big for the minimal beaver tail set up of them. Shadow systems fixed this to a degree. But big beefy hands can experience this with even shadow systems. But it is way less of a chance of it happening than Glocks. I would love to have a Glock that would accommodate my big man hands. Maybe this could work for me.

Maybe Glock needs to be notified of this problem that the beaver tale needs to be a little longer. would they listen probably not. people have been trying to get Glock to change their plastic sites for the longest. the only Company listens to the feedback and does something about is Canik.

Lenny, is this available for the 43x? I use one on my g26 and it helps with my arthritis knuckle.

Wish i lived in the US. we arnt aloud to buy/own hand guns in australia. Dont even have gun ranges.

I have a generation 2 Glock 19 will this work
