I wasn't aware that the Glock family of pistols really needed a beavertail. Does anyone have a problem with slide or hammer bite?

I do not suffer from hammer bite on my Glock. However, those who wish to take a higher grip position may have a problem. The other option for the Glock is replace the frame from Lone Wolff with a beaver tail or have custom grip contouring done to your stock grip. This is an inexpensive way to discern if a higher grip will help and is adequate to achieve a higher grip.

I was working on my grip, trying a second-finger trigger pull and got slide bit a couple of times because I was holding the grip higher. The beavertail solved that immediately and I now find the grip more comforatble and controllable, no matter how I hold the gun. It feels much more like a 1911 now. I'd recommend the beavertail to anyone, just as I would the competition trigger spring set. It's something that Glock should pack with the guns at point of sale. Not everyone in the world is going to use the Glock for police or military use and these two items have made my Glock MUCH easier to handle and fire accurately.

Clearly no issue with hammer bite, what with the complete lack of external hammer on Glocks. The reason why I like these for the baby Glocks especially is that the frame extends back only far enough to meet the back end of the slide. When shooting more than maybe 30 rds in a sitting the left corner of the frame begins to chew through the skin on my thumb knuckle, and after about 100 rds it has begun to bleed. The beaver tail extension alleviates this and increases comfort when shooting due to better ergonomics, an area where I believe Glocks have always suffered.

I've thought about doing my EDC Benchmade Stryker. Given I take it in and out of my pocket, constantly I'm reticent about it. Thinking about it thought. Can tell you it does AWESOME on my Glock. I posted a pic of it.

Hasn't been an issue on my Galco deep concealment or Blade-Tech holsters. On my Safariland 6378 ALS I've shaved a bit from the base of the slide lock tab during the first hundred presentations, but nothing since and no impact on holster or sight function. Just buy the sights :-)

My thoughts: I have a Smith 13-1 (apx 1967 vintage.) I have three (honest THREE) different sets of Pachmayr grips for it, and they are all completely PerfecT. They needed no trimming and the bottom is totally captured (surrounded.) I do not, though, recommend Hogue grips. They are a bit weird, for me, and feel sticky and....... well... just didn't feel right For Me. We are all different. I am 65 years old and have been shooting since I was 10. If you can't get to a store where you can look and feel the grips, Pachmayr is a good bet. (Especially if you can return them... like buy from Midwest. Just thoughts.) Let me know if I can further help. Barry

There's lots of stories about reloads and Glocks, personal experience, I have reloaded for twenty plus years I have a couple Glocks I have one I bought new in 2001 model 23. I have had several thousand rounds down the pipe. Shot IDPA with this same gun, I have seen no damage or performance issues with it as well. You can go to Glocks website and visit customer support email tech support it may take a month but they will say the same. Unless your talking steel cased ammo.

Typical 1911's do not have the same dovetails cut into the slide as most other pistols. I going to say this will not fit you pistol. Better to purchase a set explicitly made (correct dovetails) for Sig's 1911.

You will never get a Glock trigger like a 1911 as each pull has to pull the striker back, but if you use a 3.5lb connector with a 6lb trigger spring you can get a shorter and lighter trigger pull that gets it as close as possible without having to get too far into the weeds as in changing striker springs and recoil springs.

It is the safety for that model gun. Glocks have a similar type. The "little trigger" has to be depressed before you can pull back the regular trigger. It is correct for that model for a real gun.

I carry my Taurus PT 111 locked and loaded with the safe on. I've never had a problem. I love my Versacarry, the only complaint is some wear on the slide, but I don't carry a gun for its looks and a little wear doesn't effect the function.

You should really email the manufacture. I will say that I have the one with the blue piece. I've busted my knuckles trying to get it broken in for my XDS. It's very tight and hard to dislodge the pistol. To use it I'll probably have to file it down. I'm very disappointed in it and don't use it.

Yes, but these sights are more for competition shooting. The GLOCK 27 is not a competition shooting weapon. This is from my experience.

I like mine. I added drop extension due to long arms with shorts torso. Yes on mag holders - single, dual and quad I believe. Holster comes with paddle - thin and lightweight - I do not use. Holster works on longer slide, full slide and mid slide Glocks for me.

Definitely not; however, it really helps to have the glock disassembly tool. Just watch a video on YouTube and you'll see it's a breeze.

As others have said, it's a piece of cake if you have the right tools, but the right tool for the rear sight (called a "sight pusher"). I have one but it cost me well over $100. You can also use a hammer and punch, as long as the punch is made out of something that will not damage the slide, but that takes a while and is a bit of a pain. Unless you are a chronic gun tinkerer like me, I think that taking it to a gunsmith is the way to go.

You're kinda throwing me off with "Pistol". I have the GSG 522 Carbine. It came with a fixed stock and was easily replaced with the American Tac stock. It work great with mine. I'm not sure if GSG makes a actual pistol, or if that's what they call them. I just don't want to give you the wrong input. Goodluck

Have no idea about XD. I carry the Glock 21SF, its pretty cool... I really like it...

I have never had any issues with that since the hard trigger pull is part of the safety features of the pistol. I carry this setup daily regardless of clothes with 0 issues. It has become my go to gun since the clip makes it effortless even in shorts and a Tshirt. I personally carry the pistol on fire with a round in the chamber in my waistband. I have never had anything come close to getting inside of the trigger guard. I hope this helps. The installation just requires a small punch. The rest is very simple. Please let me know if you have further questions.
