Some people take an OEM Glock backstrap and then cut it down (to mimic a GFA).Quote:

This is all I know about. Not yet available.

Seems simple enough; does this ‘correct’ the grip angle 100%, (make it like a S&W, Sig, HK...) or just ‘closer to’...?Quote:

There are videos showing prototypes running. If you burrow into the page, they have Q&A about it that discusses the current commercial status. AFAIK, only employees and friends of Omaha Outdoors have shot it.Quote:

Interesting. Here is the serialized version. Says... "We are looking to take pre-orders soon and release this summer."Quote:

The Glock slim lines don’t have removable back straps, do they? I have cut down Gen 4 double stack back straps to make my own GFAs for my double stack Glocks. Maybe with a heat gun you could get them to fit onto the slim lines.
My issue with the Vuurwapen frame is the size; these are the original 365, which is a bit small for my hands, but the XL was a great fit.
The beaver tail fix seems to be the most practical fix at this point, but this an interesting discussion so far, thanks.
Update:
My friend at the LGS told me about this adapter, it’s from Sandstorm Precision $25. We borrowed the daughters 43x, so the wife could shoot it more and determine if she liked it, which she did, so I found one last night at Sportsman’s Warehouse for $489, so we jumped on it.
It seems to fix the grip angle just fine. We will see how well it holds up under live fire, once her gun arrives next week. So far, it seems like a simple fix for this issue.
*fyi, it’s a 3D printed part
