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"

Great addition to a great pistol
The Mete was already a great pistol for me. I didn't think that the heavier backstrap would make any difference; however, I was wrong. The weighted backstrap added more stability and accuracy to my shooting. I love the backstrap.

Mete Brass Backstrap Shape
I was led to believe from watching the YouTube videos on this product that it was the same shape as the medium (M) grip insert that comes with the gun. Unfortunately, it is the same shape as the small (S) grip insert. This type of product detail should be clearly detailed in the description and not left to chance since it is a significant factor in how the gun is gripped. Disappointed in the product for that reason.

Mete Brass Backstrap
Installed the FDE brass backstrap on my Canik Mete SFT. Perfect fit and finish. Looks great and adds just the right amount of weight. Reduces recoil and adds a welcome balance to the overall feel of the SFT. Thank you!
