Are Backstraps Bad?
This video argues against the common use of backstraps on handguns, particularly the Glock 19. While they can prevent slide bite for large-handed shooters, they often compromise grip mechanics by creating gaps. These gaps lead to a loss of control during recoil, requiring frequent grip readjustment. Warrior Poet Society recommends removing backstraps for most shooters to achieve a more stable and effective grip.
