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"

Bottom hole for screw won’t fit
The bottom hole for the screw to connect the Magwell is too small that destroyed my Magwell. It’s new to the market so will need adjustments. (RESPONSE) Kent, give me a call ASAP! I think I know what happened with your part. Will replace/fix immediately.

Mete SFx black brass backstrap
Perfect fit and weight for my Mete SFx. Color matches almost perfectly with the slide and signature +4 extension. Easy install and really helps reduce muzzle flip. Color is darker than the picture on the TF site is almost perfect.
