LTT Grip Anchor for Glock 19

[ASH556]

I did a search and didn't see anything on this. I'm curious about it as I carry a 19. Not sure I need it, but considering trying one. Anyone messed with one?

I got one, and so far think it is interesting -- makes nearly a full size grip without the bulk of a full size grip, while doing double duty as a mag funnel.

Is this basically the Tango Down/Vickers Glock takedown tool/grip plug except without the usable punch?

On IG i asked Booth Performance about their product and it's similarity to the Vickers plug and this was their response -

"that's a great question, they certainly appear externally similar. The TD/Vickers plug contains a tool and generally rounds the rear of the gun like a bobtailed 1911, but doesn't touch the shooter's hands in a way that impacts shootability. It does those things really well. Our product is designed to provide the shooter with more grip support, so that the gun shoots like a full size but still carries like a compact. The TD/Vickers plug also isn't helpful for reloads because the interior surface is flat instead of beveled."

Makes sense. Thanks.

I ordered one which arrived yesterday. No live fire yet but did a lot of dry fire draws. It really helps get a good grip on the draw, and with a full grip makes it as if you have a G45 (or 17). Very well done and impressive product for $28.

[breakingtime91]

Will this fit a g26...?

[Blades]

Will this fit a g26...?

I was wondering the same thing.

EDIT: I ordered one, I have a G26 so we'll see what happens. I'm guessing it's too long to fit in the backstrap? If so, my G19 gets it, or maybe it can be trimmed to fit a G26.

[backtrail540]

Will this fit a g26...?

Negative. Booth answered another ig question answering the same in comments and said 19 only.

[rd62]

For me grip length on a G19 is both its best feature and worst drawback. It makes it easier to conceal and more comfortable to carry but negatively effects natural point ability for me. I shoot a full size 17 better. I'll have to try one of these and see if it helps.

[Rotundra]

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

[JonInWA]

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.

Best, Jon

I saw on Instagram the set screw doesn't line up correctly unless you get the backstrap one for your Gen 3.

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.

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.

[Rex G]

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.

[Texaspoff]

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.

Thanks in advance,

[medmo]

Sweet, will have to check one out. Wonder if LTT has plans for the same with 43X or 48. I think those frames would benefit also.

[1slow]

I would have liked something like this when I was shooting GL30s.

It would have transferred some of the recoil into the heel of the hand rather than just into the thumb base.

[GJM]

I bought one, liked it so much I bought four more. Makes a 19 draw like a G45 while still concealing like a 19.

[Steve m]

Looking forward to getting mine!

[BillSWPA]

I just ordered one. My Glock 19 will occasionally put holes in untucked shirts, while my G26 has never done so. I suspect that providing a more rounded surface instead of the back corner of the magazine could potentially resolve that issue. If this makes the G19 gentler on clothes, it could easily pay for itself.

I think the main advantage of the Langdon grip anchor is how quick it will help you put holes into other things!

That could easily prove to be correct. In addition to the advantage of the slightly extended grip for shooting, I have pinched my hand while speed reloading the G19.

While there are excellent concealed carry mag wells available for the Gen 4 19 I have never been fully satisfied with the offerings for the Gen 5 19, as they just seem too big. The grip anchor gives you more to hold onto drawing and shooting the 19 and provides much of the benefit of a full mag well for reloading.

[Hstanton1]

I’ve had one for a few weeks now, I’m really loving it. My g45 frames will be gathering dust for the foreseeable future

[BillSWPA]

I received mine today and installed it.

Before I installed it, I was surprised at how much lint and dust I removed from the channel behind the magazine well. Once it was installed, it appeared to be the best "plug" I have seen. It adds to the grip comfort, seems to simplify magazine changes, and does seem to make pinching my hand during a reload significantly less likely. The back of the magazine is still accessible if removing a stuck magazine becomes necessary, although I have never experienced this with a Glock or the vast majority of other pistols I have used.

After seeing the amount of dust/lint in that channel, I am rethinking about a plug for my G26. I had one briefly installed, but without a lanyard hole and set screw, it started slipping out during shooting. Is there any reason why it might be necessary to access the inside of that channel? If not, is there any reason not to use an adhesive to secure a plug in place on the G26? Are there any adhesives I should use or should avoid?

[Rex G]

I wish that these had existed in 2017, when I had to stop shooting my G19 pistols with my right hand, which was (and is) aging less well than my left hand. Not saying that these would make a 19 as “orthopedic” as a G19x, G45, or G17, but, I would have been glad to have the chance to experiment. I now need pistols to “anchor” themselves on the “heel bone” of my right hand.

I alway shot a G17 better than I could shoot a G19, so, a Grip Anchor should help in that regard, too, for the reason that the designer intended. My three G19 pistols were traded-away, in 2020, so, too late to experiment, now, unless I buy a replacement 19.

[Texaspoff]

Mine arrived yesterday. Shout out to Langdon Tact for super fast shipping and service. I'm going to echo what has already been said. My only complaint about the 19 is the backstrap being a hair to short. I have several modified to solve this as I posted previously, but did want a way to fix this on a Stock Gen5 without modifications. I can without reservation say the Anchor is the real deal. It completely solves the issue with the backstrap, allowing a much better grip when drawing. This was the most important aspect for me as an LE drawing from the holster.

I know, I know, carry a G45. I like the G45 and have two and carry them regularly, but I just prefer the overall feel of the 19's grip. I just lock into it better than I do the full sized frames. I also wear a utility uniform at work, BDU pants and polos 95% of the time, and the 19 works a bit better in this capacity. The g45's are still my goto duty belt pistol.

I'm not sure why no one came up with this idea a long time ago. I would have if I would have had access to someone with plastic injection equipment.

My only gripe, it has a slightly different angle than the backstrap, and throws my eye off a tad. IM getting used to it the more I look at it so that's justa personal thing. I know why it has this angle, for the feed ramp, and that works well also.

Overall, IMO this is well worth the cost, and I highly recommend this if the 19 grip is just a tad to short.

Oh and I wish the screw was black rather than the bright shiny silver, but IM fixing that.

I think it's fine in SSP, ESP, CO; plastic plugs are allowable for the grip cavity, and with the anchor the G19 should have no problem in fitting in the IDPA box used to measure dimensional compliance.

Best, Jon

[Flashman]

I really like it. It hit the market about the same time I smashed the meat of my hand twice (again) during reloads at match. The blood blisters are ever so slowly disappearing but still a reminder for an upcoming match. It does improve the feel of the 19. The screw in device is also a innovative improvement to grip plug attachment.

[JHC]

Two pics of my Gen 5 G19. One with the earlier gen magazine and one with the gen 5 magazine.

My finger points to the spot that prints for me when I see if the garment supports the G45, the G19 or will it need to be the G26. Length of grip unsurprisingly.

I get the mag funnel effect. I get the grip leverage effect. I don't get how extending the length of the grip conceals equally to the stock configuration. I don't think my magazine floor plates are going to print if the end of the grip isn't already printing.

Any improvement in concealability might occur through protecting concealment garments from having holes worn in them.

My G26 has never, ever worn a hole in an untucked shirt or sweater. The backstrap of the G26 extends far enough to cover the rear corners of the magazine baseplate.

My G19 will wear holes in untucked polo shirts, but has not yet worn a hole in a sweater. While I cannot say this conclusively yet, I suspect that one back corner of the base plate is the cause. The grip anchor covers that corner without extending any significant distance past the end of the magazine.

The absolute worst offender for wearing holes in shirts and sweaters has been my P365 when carried with 12 round magazines. Based on the location of the holes, I suspect that the (relatively) sharp front bottom edge of the magazine is the cause. This also leads me to believe that the (relatively) sharp surface is more of a factor than a difference in size (up to a point).

Based on all of the above, it appears that covering a (relatively) sharp corner with a rounded surface should improve concealability by avoiding creation of a hole right in the location of the gun.

Thanks for drilling down to those details. I missed that as I've not had clothing damage from the butt or butt area. Sharp rear sights a little. RTF2 snagging micro-fibers but that's it.

[medmo]

Got one and installed it. I didn’t know I needed one until I tried it. Big difference for my hand fit. Now I know I need one.

[medmo]

Oh, wow, this really is a hugely significant change for me. After some dry fire draw, just ran out and ran a couple of mags with the anchor installed. Much improved grip from draw and index while pressing out. I think there is a measurable performance improvement so I have to bust out the PACT soon and check it. I kind of doubted that just adding that little bit could make such a difference, (insert TWSS here). Great stuff, for me anyhow.

[medmo]

Okay, assumption proven! Just ran a mag with the PACT, 1 round from concealed AIWB, 7 yards. New personal best with the G19.5, 1.16s, beating previous by .05s. Maybe not a big deal but it felt easier to do and more “natural.” Will have to push it when I have more time to see if I can go faster. Nice! I’m really digging the LTT Anchor.

[maximus83]

Just added a grip anchor plus an SCD to my G19...both new items to me. LTT service is fast/good, and really like both of these add-ons.

[JonInWA]

I just received and installed mine, on my Gen 3 G19. As mentioned in the LTT video, there is a slight gap between the top of the Grip Anchor and the bottom of the receiver when using on a Gen 3, but it's of absolutely no operational consequence. Judging by the LTT information, images and videos, the Grip Anchor fits a bit more flush and seamlessly with Gen4 and Gen5 G19s with Glock's Multiple Backstrap System.

https://i.imgur.com/TT7ZYzIh.jpg

Of course to install, I first has to remove the Hogue HandAll Beavertail, install the LTT Grip Anchor, and then reinstall the Hogue HandAll Beavertail. The HandAll always offers a bit of a wrestling session, but to reinstall things are massively expedited by first heating the HandAll immersed in a mug filled with boiling water for several minutes.

The Grip Anchor is exceptionally easy to install. Place in cavity, secure with included grubscrew with a hex driver bit.

It feels very nice in draw and dryfire. I'll be running the G19 with it in an IDPA match towards the end of the month and will report back appropriately.

Best, Jon

Received my anchor for gen 5 with mbs and placed it on a 23 Gen 5. Fit perfect. I adore the feed ramp on this and the slight extension it gives to make the magazine basepads flush with the anchor. This really helps prevent my hands from getting pinched during reloading on the compact 19/23 frame.

The feed ramp extension and angle works very well for me...I've been thinking about trying one on a 17 or 45. Has anyone tried this?

If it saves one shirt or sweater from getting holes to the point of being unwearable, it has saved money.

My CZ P-07's grip frame doesn't need a grip anchor, but IMHO it could use some better texturing on the removable backstrap. I also like it's grip angle a little better then my Gen 5 G19.

Something else I like about the LTT grip anchor.

Something I have been pleased with, is my ability to easily move from 2011 to Glock 19 to P365. Recently I put the new Glock trigger in a G45 lower, and noticed it now takes me a draw or two to adjust to and from the Glock. I got to comparing, and realized that the location of the hump on the full Glock grip hits lower and makes the pistol point higher for me without some wrist adjustment. However, the 19 with the grip anchor gives me a full size back strap to help my grip, but preserves the natural point-ability of the 19 for me. Love it!

[Squib308]

Didn’t realize that I needed this product until this thread. Received the LTT G19 grip anchor yesterday. Haven’t live fired with it yet but it’s a significant improvement in grip and ease of mag swaps. LTT is definitely capitalizing in the areas that Glock where Glock fails to innovate. Great product!

[EVP]

Does this prevent the mag base pad corner from printing? Or does it just slightly round the edge.


Looks like it might just create another corner to print further down.

[matt7184]

I would say it depends a lot on the shirt you are wearing. It can make a corner print lower but at the same time the standard G19 grip and 15 Round magazine can give me two corners that print in a tighter shirt. I find the two corners also provide more spots the drag my shirt up when moving. It's a non-issue either way with a looser shirt for me.

[awp_101]

Has anyone tried one of these on a PSA Dagger or other aftermarket G19 frame?

[dontshakepandas]

I've been going back and forth on trying one of these since they came out, but have held off because I didn't think it could make that much of a difference.

I have a G19 and G45 in matching configurations for carry and choose between them based on what I'm wearing and the level of concealment I need. My hands are on the larger size and I find that the G45 feels much better in my hands, and while I don't notice a huge difference shooting there is quite a big difference in my grip consistency from an AIWB draw.

I received my grip anchors in the mail this morning and got them installed and I'll be damned if it doesn't make my G19 feel almost as good as the G45. I'll have to put in some time to see if it actually helps with the draw, but so far I'm very pleased.

My only complaint is the shiny silver screw used for the installation. Aesthetically, I hate shiny parts on an otherwise all black gun. That doesn't matter to me as much as the function, but I'd still prefer a black screw.

[Cheap Shot]

I'm going to be the outlier on this. Bought one when this thread first came out. After installing I did a couple dry fire sessions. I agree it helped my grip but my reloads were noticeably worse with G19 mags. G19 mags were flush with the bottom of the grip anchor and for whatever reason (operator error) sometimes the mags failed to seat. The juice wasnt worth the squeeze so I removed it

I didnt have this issue using G17 mags.

I got a G45 about a year ago and was surprised how much I liked it. It was my first Glock in an over 40-year shooting career. Then I got a G19 because everyone seems to think it's the perfect size for carry. I disliked how the shorter grip felt when shooting. Then I added a Grip Anchor. Now the G45 is the dedicated training gun, and the G19 is the carry gun. I slightly prefer the feel of the G19 w/Grip Anchor over that of the G45.

Glock's Blue Label program sucked me in. :rolleyes:

Cold blue could work. I tried sharpie and didn't have great results.

I've been wrapping my grip with hockey tape to help with my sweaty hands, and that covers it up nicely. My brain still knows it isn't black though. ;)

You guys are obsessing a bit, me thinks. The screw is kinda buried in the rear grip, and it's not like it's a million candlewatt flashing beacon....

After reading the discussion/concern, I took my Birchwood Casey Super Black Instant Touch Up Pen, made sure it was paint activated, put it in the recess, pumped the pen a couple of times, and voila, a significantly blackened screw end.

Problem (and not that it was much of one to begin with...) solved...

[Steve m]

Digging mine, don’t know if its physiological or attributable to the grip extension, but i am shaving couple of seconds off IDPA stages. To me the pistol returns to zero faster, thus allowing faster follow up. Just my 2 cents opinion.

[Mirolynmonbro]

I have two of them and think they're a great. I chose to use the 19+grip anchor over the 45 at the IDPA CCP Championship. The reloads are faster with the anchor for sure.

Possibly. It sounded like a good idea before thinking it through. Maybe I should just a 19 and a Grip Anchor instead. I’ve worked really hard on shooting a 19 well in the past and have always failed.

[SwampDweller]

Does the grip anchor affect concealability/printing at all?

[BillSWPA]

Does the grip anchor affect concealability/printing at all?

In my opinion it improves concealability by preventing the sharp corner at the back of the magazine from wearing a hole in clothing. I have not noticed any difference in printing.

No.

Agree. No negative effect on concealability.

I'll counter and say for me, it does have a small effect in extending out the corner of the gun. Yeah, it's just flush with the corner of the mag and all that, but it made a small difference for me.

Does anyone know of a similar product that can go on a slim frame (Glock 43x/48)? Thanks in advance.

Reach out to Booth Performance. I saw a prototype grip anchor for a 43x several months ago

Thanks.

I sent LTT an email about it yesterday and now they’re on the website.

They seem nice but a little on the pricey side .

I wonder if one of these would help with my G19 angle pain issue?

For me, the biggest reason I took it off is it actually served to make the grip angle sharper by a pinch. Normally on a G19, the very bottom of the soft part of my hand will go under the corner a pinch, while my actual bone structure is completely on the grip, serving to reduce the angle slightly, like a bobtail 1911, if that makes any sense.

This actually angles out from the bottom of the grip slightly.

That definitely wouldn’t work for me, then. Thank you!

It does angle outward a tad, but that is because the 19 grip angles inward at the bottom. The angle of the anchor comes out to match the backstraps angle. It doesn't stick out past the angle of the backstrap. It's kinda hard to describe, but here are a few images I just took. The anchor just sit against the bottom of my palm. It doesn't protrude or put any pressure on my pam even if I gorilla the grip. It just gives the backstrap a bit more length, and the bottom of my palm something to rest against. I like the Anchor and have zero complaints about them.

I offer a modification I coined as the "E" mod, in which I add material to the backstrap of the 19 sized pistols. It can be done to reduced and non reduced grip. The anchor essentially does the same thing, but isn't a permanent modification.

Here are two 19's with my "E" mod.

Those look great! Before I traded it for a 19, I had a G45 I wanted to cut down to take 19 mags, but leave the back of the grip, like that. Ended up just trading it for a 19, which I put the grip anchor on, then didn’t love haha!

I know it matches the existing angle, but by going back out after the 19 hump starts angling back in, it sharpened the effective angle, in my hands. For some reason it felt less comfortable to me than either a plain 19 or 45/17/34 grip. YMMV!
