A Pretty Slick Accessory for Glocks: The GFA

[Guest Paul Gomez]

A quick review of a pretty neat thing for Glocks.

I saw an ad for those in a gun magazine a while back and wondered if they actually worked. Im one of those guys that has a problem with the grip angle on glocks and saw this as a solution. Didnt know you got two for that price though, may have to try them out.

Great review.

Looks like it places it at a closer grip angle to that of the m&p along with the beavertail-ish extension like the m&p. Should make it much more comfortable if that is the case.

Just bought one! Did some research. If your gonna buy one do it from eBay! Most of them come with two grip adapters and free shipping! $25 out the door!

Hmm if I had a Glock that looks like something that would be useful, I like the beaver tail like extension on it.

I guess... if you have a problem with a stock Glock... which I don't...

[TLRMADE]

I do a review video when I get them in and post it up. Anybody's welcome to come try mine out too?

[Erik88]

Interesting. I don't think they would work with the Talo Grips I run on all my Glocks though. I may buy a set anyways to see how I like them.

Thanks for the heads up.

Did you actually watch the video? It isn't about fixing a problem. The advantages Paul describes make sense.

[Steelharp]

Yes, I watched the video. And I checked the site. What stuck out to me (pasted from their site) was:

The GRIP FORCE ADAPTER :

• CHANGES THE GRIP ANGLE TO IMPROVE THE POINTABILITY OF THE GLOCK

As I said, this is of no concern to me. The change is minor and my be ameliorated by removing more of the backstrap portion. On the newer SC iterations, that portion is already reduced. The use of the term 'grip adapter', I am fairly certain, comes from the owner's experiences at the Roger's Institute of Advanced Weaponcraft. At the school, Bill Rogers uses a mag funnel on the school Glock 17s and refers to them as grip adapters because they force the students' hands high into the tang of the holstered gun upon establishing grip.

[Steelharp]

While that may be so, it's pretty typical in advertising to come out of the chute with the strongest horse you have. The first thing the company itself lists is the grip angle change, and pointability. It would seem that is the strongest point that they believe they have.

You know I'm living in Glock land these days. If I didn't like the grip angle, I would change guns. To me, there's no difference in reliability between a Glock and an M&P. Can't even say I like the Glock better. I just like the G19 form factor better.

He's on an M&P kick right now. Can't blame him for that. I'm a fan myself.

I never know if the guys in these testimonials are paid and/or believe in the product or not. Either way, Ken Hackathorn makes a pretty good case for the GFA in this video too:

Got mine in today. Ordered from eBay and it came with two for the price of one! They both fit my 19 perfect but neither will fit on my G34....?
