Lenny McIll from the Glock Store Performance Center demonstrates how to improve the grip on subcompact Glocks, specifically the Glock 27, using XGrip magazine sleeves. He highlights the challenge of achieving a full grip on 'mini Glocks' and presents sleeves as a superior solution to magazine extensions for enhanced ergonomics and control, especially when using larger capacity magazines.

Quick Summary

Mini Glocks often have a difficult grip due to their small size, leaving no room for the pinky finger. Magazine sleeves, like the XGrip, are a superior solution to extensions, allowing the use of larger capacity magazines for a better, more ergonomic grip and improved control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main problem with the grip on mini Glocks?

Mini Glocks, like the Glock 27, are small firearms that make it difficult to achieve a full and comfortable grip, especially for the pinky finger, leading to reduced control and ergonomics.

What are the solutions for improving the grip on mini Glocks?

Two primary solutions are magazine extensions and magazine sleeves. Magazine extensions offer some improvement, but magazine sleeves are presented as a superior option for enhanced ergonomics and the ability to use larger capacity magazines.

How does an XGrip magazine sleeve work?

The XGrip magazine sleeve slips over a larger capacity magazine, effectively extending the grip base to match the size of the firearm's frame. This allows for a more secure and comfortable hold, even with smaller pistols.

What are the advantages of using an XGrip magazine sleeve?

XGrip sleeves provide a better grip, improve ergonomics, allow the use of higher capacity magazines (where legal), and are designed to be softer and more flexible than some other options on the market.
