Product Description
Weight and felt recoil are directly related, so by adding weight, our brass backstrap calms the gun down, creating a smoother-shooting, softer-kicking, more-neutrally-balanced handgun. Adding weight to the frame also reduces the tendency toward "weak wrist" malfunctions common to all polymer frame handguns.
This manifests itself most often when shooting weak-hand-only. The extra mass gives the frame a greater resistance to being pushed rearward in recoil -- helping ensure reliable cycling when the shooter can't supply full resistance due to weakness, poor form, or a too-low grip.
The brass backstrap concept descends directly from our famous "Seattle Slug" magazine guide, which adds 3.5 ounces of weight to the Gen. 2/3 Glock 17. That concept worked so well, it was eventually banned BY NAME in both USPSA and IDPA.
- absorbs recoil
- lowers the center of gravity (less top-heavy)
- High-traction checkered surface (better control)
- built-in mount for magwell (both the factory magwell, and TF version)
- increased "weak hand" reliability
- brilliant brass color! (Cerakote Black and Flat Dark Earth also available)
- Grip = roughly Canik "small"

Brass backstrap
Fit perfect looks great

Rival backstrap
I have not shot the Rival with the new backstrap yet but the ergonomics of the grip have changed dramatically. It feels so much heavier and easier to hold. I can’t speak to the recoil yet but the extra weight can only be good.

Canik Mete/Rival Backstrap-Brass-Black
Customer e-mail updating earlier review: "Robin, I have not received the original package order # 65625. Ms. Lydia Hovind sent me a replacement which I received yesterday evening about 6pm. I by chance I receive the original order I will send it to you asap. I do appreciate Lydia being helpful and professional in this matter. I installed the back strap and will be using it in competition this weekend. Thank you all for your help, I like your product and plan on ordering from you in the future. I think I answered a survey and gave 1 star for not receiving the ordered product. I would like to correct that to 5 stars if it comes up. Thanks again I'm very pleased, Michael Nell "
