    Cool, thanks.

    So your support hand grip is that far forward? Huh. Interesting, thanks again.

    It’s not really that far forward. I have really long fingers, but just a large size hand, so it makes it harder for me to get support hand contact on the back strap portion of the grip. This is why having a lot of friction where I place the grip tape it is so important to me.

    I don’t know what all of those words mean so you may have posted and I missed it, but I’m assuming that is not an MOS model? If not, who did the slide cut and would you recommend them?

    I ask because I’m hoping to get back into pistol games and have been eyeing a G5 Glock 34 and may start out shooting Production again but may want to switch to Carry Optics, so I’m wondering if I should get the MOS to make that easier or just assume I can get the slide cut later if I want to go that route.

    It is a MOS, and I would recommend that to maintain optics flexibility.

    It’s for the abductor muscle (I think that is what it’s called) of my support hand. It drives me crazy that gun manufacturers don’t texture this area as it is an important contact point for a thumbs forward grip. To illustrate this last week, I put brand new skate tape on my new Gen 5.

    This:


    This was my hand after 250 rounds:

    Do you have problems with the tape moving? If I have a long practice session the tape starts to move around. This help my shooting more than any aftermarket trigger I have tried.

    That is interesting. What I do is apply pressure in the area of the backstrap pin, using TPC’s quarter panel technique.

    I have read your description of that but never really understood it.are you making contact with the same part of your hand from the pictures above?

    I think we are trying to accomplish the same thing, and I agree that besides recoil control, it helps a lot with trigger.

    To understand TPC’s concept of “quarter panel,” look at a flat surface like a table. If you slide your hand across it, you will note adding friction, like tape, to the surface helps. If you come off the top of the table and catch just the edge of the table, it will anchor your hand without adding friction, and in their opinion, more efficiently and effectively.

    Different pistols lend themselves more or less to the quarter panel technique, and in this regard, the Glock works fairly well. Something very rounded like a PPQ, not so well. You need just a bit of purchase on the back of the pistol to anchor it.

    LGS has a Glock 34 in the rental inventory. Thinking of giving it a whirl.

    Any potential issues in shooting that size gun by a guy w M hands?

    This would (possibly) be a reward for making C class in USPSA P.

    Same as G17 grip should be no issue.
