Frequently Asked Questions

How should I position my firing hand on a Glock 19?

Shove your firing hand as high as possible into the backstrap. Wrap your three lower fingers firmly around the grip for maximum contact and control, ensuring a solid foundation for accurate shooting.

What is the correct placement for the support hand on a Glock 19?

Rotate your support hand so the lower knuckle to the wrist is parallel with the slide. Place your thumb along the frame, ensuring it stays clear of the slide's path to prevent malfunctions.

Why is thumb placement important on a Glock 19?

Proper thumb placement prevents interference with the slide's movement. Avoid resting your thumb on the slide lock lever, as this can prevent the slide from locking back on an empty magazine and can cause 'slide bite'.

What is 'slide bite' and how can I avoid it?

'Slide bite' is an injury from the slide cutting your hand. To avoid it, ensure your firing hand is high on the backstrap and your support hand's thumb is along the frame, not on top of or near the slide's path.
