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 details enhancements to the ACE Trigger System, addressing known issues. Modifications include a redesigned back plate with a cavity to prevent accidental discharge from impact, an improved safety step for greater resistance, and a new, internally decoupled safety mechanism. These updates will be integrated into future competition and duty versions, with the internal safety and TMD lever module being retrofitted to existing triggers.

This video delves into the potential causes of an uncommanded discharge involving a CZ pistol, drawing on internet commentary and expert analysis. Ben Stoeger, an expert shooter, discusses how modifications like lighter hammer springs and extended firing pins, combined with factors like high primers or holster interaction, can compromise safety. He contrasts this with factory-issued firearms and emphasizes caution with extreme modifications, advocating for a balance between performance and safety in competitive shooting.
