Product Description
Glock Grip Force Adapters Fits Glock models: GEN 4 ADAPTERS FIT STANDARD & COMPACT GLOCK FRAMES GEN 4 MODELS: 17, 19, 22, 23 AVAILABLE IN BLACK The GEN 4 GRIP FORCE ADAPTER was specifically developed to fit GLOCK's GEN 4 pistol in its base "short frame" configuration. The short frame configuration does not utilize either the Medium or Large factory grip panel on the frame. The GEN 4 GRIP FORCE ADAPTER eliminates the drawbacks associated with permanent modifications to your factory pistol. The GRIP FORCE GEN 4 ADAPTER mates completely to the back strap of the GEN 4 frame, permitting the shooter's hand to conform to the frame in a more secure manner. This offers more control and allows the shooter to index the pistol on target more efficiently.

These beavertails work exactly as designed, they prevent slide bite from Glock pistols.
Be aware, however, they are not compatible with Safariland SLS (rolltop) holsters. They fit under the rolltop, but sometimes require the user to wiggle the strap a bit to go over the adapter.
One other thing to be aware of is that the trigger mechanism housing pins provided WILL walk out with heavy use.
Updated comments: I've increased the rating to five stars. My first criticism of incompatibility with Safariland SLS holsters seemed to be limited to the holster I carried on duty (an older model). With several other holsters, there was no issue.
Also, by adding a small amount of clear fingernail polish to the GF trigger mechanism housing pin, it will not walk out.

Finally, something to fix the horrible "humped" Glock backstrap! I have always hated the hump on Glock backstraps, this product fixes that problem once and for all, making the Glock almost 1911 like! Highly reccomended.

I started looking at this product as a temporary solution to protect the meat of my thumb from the slide rubbing against it. I had concerns about the quality and how it would affect the ergonomics of the grip, and planned to only use it until Glock finally releases their beaver tail back straps.
The package came with two beaver tails, one for using on gen 4's with no back strap, an one for normal Glocks, and gen 4's with the medium or large back strap on. At first I was not a fan, but since the company recommends customizing the tails to fit your needs, I took a dremel to one and smoothed off the ridges and shortened the part the extends down grip. Again, I was concerned with how durable the material would be and if it could stand up to abuse even before I have taken half the material off of it.
Well color me amazed. about 2000 rounds and a year of daily carrying later, I am pleased to report that it has held up perfectly. I cannot give this little piece of plastic enough praise. It is easily the second best improvement I have made to my pistol (the first being better sights), and will purchase one for any glocks that I own in the future. It does exactly what it is designed to do, and lets you get a more aggressive grip on your pistol without getting railroad tracks cut into the meat of your thumb. It is sturdy. It comes of and re-attaches easily enough for detailed pistol cleaning. Also it is a hugely inexpensive solution. The only reason I am not giving it 5 starts is because it does require a little bit of customization, though this is really only a small issue.

Grip angle
Helps change the grip angle of my glock to point like my 1911, 5906 and M&P's. Pain in the a$$ to install

Pure Awesome.
I have held off purchasing a glock for years because of the grip angle and the texture of the frame. I wanted one of these pistols because of their undeniable reliability. Read more
