This guide details the installation of the Rapid Engineering Large Beavertail Backstrap for Glock pistols. The modification aims to alter the grip angle from the factory 22° to a more common 18°, improving natural point of aim and reducing fatigue. The process involves a simple pin replacement, making it an accessible DIY upgrade.

This video demonstrates the installation of a new, thinner backstrap from Kyro Defense for the Glock 43X. The thinner profile aims to improve grip ergonomics and prevent 'slide bite' by allowing the shooter to get higher on the backstrap. The installation process is shown to be straightforward, requiring basic tools like a punch and a nylon hammer.

This video details the setup and initial thoughts on two Glock pistols, a Glock 17 Gen 5 modified for an optic and a new Glock 47 MOS. The presenter discusses optic mounting, backstrap modifications for improved grip angle, and potential trigger upgrades, seeking community input on trigger selection for the Glock 47. The content is geared towards firearm owners looking to customize their Glocks for performance and reliability.

The video details the purchase and unboxing of a Glock 21 Gen 5 from Walmart during 'Glocktober.' It covers the firearm's features, including its MOS capability, flared magwell, and front serrations. The creator also discusses modifications like chopping the backstrap for a better grip and tests the trigger pull, highlighting the Gen 5's improved features over older models.

This video details ergonomic modifications for Glock pistols, focusing on improving grip and recoil management for competitive shooting. Key adjustments include rounding grip junctions, deepening the trigger guard undercut, softening the backstrap hump, and strategically leaving smooth areas for grip transitions. The instructor emphasizes that proper ergonomics are crucial for managing recoil energy and that stippling is secondary to good grip geometry.
