Slide Height Clearance: The slide is supposed to cycle… not exfoliate your skin. 😂
Instructor Mike, a professional firearms instructor, explains how to prevent 'Glock bite' or slide bite. He demonstrates how backstraps on models like the Glock 17C Gen 4 create a safety gap by altering grip to keep the hand away from the cycling slide. He also compares this to pistols like the CZ P10 and Springfield XD, which offer higher natural slide clearance.
