GLOCK Beaver Tail Backstrap
Is this a comfort thing? Do many people get slide bite from GLOCKs? 
I should add that A GLOCK official Beaver tail Back strap was announced today.

I don't know if there's a lot that do, but I've seen a few.
One friend of mine was often bleeding after a match, it was the rough bottom edge of the slide where the serrations were rubbing on the meaty part of his hand.

my hand came super close but I think I've only gotten nicked once. my hands aren't that meaty though so I can see how it might be necessary.

I have never had slide bite from a Glock and I wear XL or XXL gloves. May be the way folks grip them.
I have had slide bite from a couple of other brands.

There's some twitter traffic right now from the 2011 shot show. Glock is showing a beavertail palm swell for their Gen 4 pistols.
Looking for pics now.

Thanks for the suggestion but me and my Gen 3's have a tens of thousands of rounds down range just fine without slide bite. I'm just curious why GLOCK did it.

You apparently don't care if other people's hands get rubbed raw by the bottom of the slide serrations huh?
Don't worry, you don't have to use one, and consider yourself lucky you don't need one.

Every 9, 40, or .357 Glock I've ever shot has chewed a groove into the web of my hand if I shoot for more than 50 rounds at a time. I'd definitely go for one of the beavertails.

No substitute for a proper grip, but inexpensive and easy to install if you feel you need one. Let us know what you pick.

I like how it is integrated into the backstrap. It will help some shooters to get a higher grip which only helps accuracy, I know most people can shoot quarter sized groups at 3yds all day long without it It is definitley better then the aftermarket ones that add 1/2" to the grip size.

This is interesting and will be useful to those of us with large hands. I have preferred the Glock 19 grip because the 17 has that hump. My big hands actually hang slightly off the bottom of the G19 grip, which doesn't force the meaty part of the hand up under the slide.
If I get slide bite, it's always when using the 17/22/31 frame.

Seriously, I don't get the beavertail hate, especially when it's O.P.T.I.O.N.A.L.!! Consider how big the beavertail is on an M&P? I for one like the idea. My hands are small enough that I don't "usually" get slide bite. However, when shooting static steel matches (many many draws), I usually have some bleeding before the end of the match.
