Like the slimness, barrel length with short overall length and easy carry. It is heavier than other options and lower capacity, but accurate as hell…

Did this change the presentation angle for you w that small...they are claiming 22 degrees to 18 degrees...Originally Posted by HeavyDuty
and wondering if that may match well to a kiral defense on a double stack I've been thinking about trying. On G5's I seem to like Large w beavertail the best
If these products make the Glock products presentation like everything else so everything's close to the same that may be worth it.
No clue on comparison to the Kiral backstrap. Though, just by looks alone, the Rapid Engineering looks to me like more of a refined shape.
For me, on a G19.3, here's how I describe it. My normal presentation with a SIG/HK type grip would result in a Glock pointing high with the top of the rear sight at the base of the front sight, if that makes sense? With the Rapid Engineering backstrap and the same conditions, the top of the rear sight would now be at ~80-90% up the front sight. The point being, only a very small degree of additional wrist cant needed to fully align the sights.
Is that extra wrist cant from 18-22 degrees a big deal? No, IMO. For me at least, switching between platforms like that, it would usually just take a few draws/presentations in dry fire to get back into the "mode" of which gun I'm shooting. What made the bigger difference for me was the reduced stress on my already beat up wrists from years of injuries and surgery (I can't even do standard bent wrist pushups anymore, if that's any indicator). It's been enough of a difference in that regard that I went from having backed off shooting Glocks more than a few times per year to now giving serious consideration towards going back to carrying them again.

I also have no idea about the Kiral, but the Rapid Engineering changed my Gen5 G19 from a dot-search device to a pistol that presented perfectly FOR ME.
The rapid engineering insert does a fantastic job of bringing the presentation very close to a standard non-Glock pistol. It is still a tiny bit high, but much closer.
My only gripe is that my short fingers like the Glocks without any backstrap on them, and the RE grip insert is like attaching a medium or large backstrap on the top half of the grip. It’s not too bad, but still less than optimal for me.
I am starting to look into a boresite solutions duty grip modification. I’m just choking on the price a little bit.
Thank you guys for the responses...I think I'll give them a try on both a double stack and a slimline and see how that goes. I've gotten better about back & forth feeling it as I present but sometimes slim line dots still high and need to fish down. Not talking after a bunch of draws but I want it right whatever I'm carrying to the first and I am mixing red dots and night sights for now work/private time. I'm getting where I think it's not a hinderence though I'm sure most here do one or the other.
I did practice using a dotted pistol at 50,75,& 100 yards today at 75 and 100 both off hand and seated. Usually use 124 but today had S&B 115 pretty significant drop at 100 yards with dot sighted at 10 yards. Normal POA at 50 yrds, kinda extra high chest 75 yards and head/neck at 100 yards was working. Thinking with 124 would have gotten maybe 2" less drop at 100 and w duty type 124 plus p or 135+P maybe 3" less drop but idk

My 25 year old Glock 26 with mag extension, Ameriglo night sights and Talon granulate grip tape….with the extension it holds 13 rounds of Speer Gold Dot 124 grain standard pressure. Rarely I’ll carry appendix, but most of the time in it’s in a belt slide holster….don’t know who made it but I think it’s discontinued or they’re out of business.

It's also complicated, expensive, gets super hot if shot a lot, and I still would happily take one.P7Pro P7M8…

The last ones I looked at were completely out of my price range. One of the poors, here. And I already have a slim 9mm that is out of production and holds 8 rounds in a single-stack mag.
But I’d still take one tomorrow.
