Is the G44 the same frame as the G19? I wonder if would work there.

I don't quite get one thing-they're saying a Gen 3 needs the piece WITH a backstrap and the Gen4/5 WITHOUT??
Does the Gen 3 version somehow add a backstrap?
The video and still images didn't illustrate the difference.

It's not that it comes with a backstrap but rather that there is a version for gen 4/5 when you aren't using a backstrap and a version for gen 4/5 when you are using a backstrap and that version also is what is needed for gen 3's. My guess is that because it needs to contact your hand to give the desired effect, the added thickness front to back on the gen 3 guns (matching the backstrapped gen 4/5 guns) would negate that somewhat on the normal version and it likely has added material to compensate. That is conjecture on my part though.

Looks like it will get rid of or help with the magazine corner printing?
I carry AIWB, with a tucked in shirt during the week. Maybe there's a hair of difference. YMMV based on how you carry, body type, and so forth.
I wouldn't get it with that as the primary purpose. I would definitely recommend it for the enhanced grip when drawing, and support hand leverage, particularly if you have larger hands. It's really a game changer from that perspective.
I would have bought something like this, several years ago, to see if it would enable a G19 to make firm contact with the “heel bone” of my hand, to improve shootability. I could never shoot a G19 nearly as well as a G17. After 2017, when arthritis entered the picture, this device might have preserved my ability to keep shooting G19 pistols pain-free. I retired my three G19 pistols, after my painful October 2017 qual, and traded them away in 2020, after the G19x/G45 entered the picture.
Retar’d LE. Kinesthetic dufus.
Don’t tread on volcanos!
I solved this problem several years back albeit my solution was more permanent.

I am an oddball and actually prefer the smaller G19 over the 17 however I do have to grind off or round/blend the back corners of the base plates as my palm will dig into the corners.
