    Product Description

    Get a "Death Grip" on that gun!
     
    Nils Jonasson (pro shooter for Canik) asked us to increase the amount of checkering on his TF backstrap. He likes to maintain a "death grip" on his pistol, and checkering helps lock the gun in his hand. 
     
    CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! 
     
    TF's "Death Grip" has checkering spanning the entire gripping surface. Once we'd covered everything with checkering, we backed up, removed the factory-pattern "scallops" on the sides and extended the available gripping surface even more!
     
    Compared to any competing model with scalloped sides, the Death Grip has more checkering in contact with your hand, more total weight, and thus more of the control-enhancing features you want!
     
    Weight and felt recoil are directly related. By adding weight the gun calms down, creating a smoother-shooting, slower-kicking, more-neutrally-balanced handgun. Brass is best in most situations, but if you're carrying the gun around all day, you might want aluminum instead.
     
    • Machined from bar stock H02 Brass or 6061 aluminum
    • Ridiculous volumes of high-traction checkering CUT into each piece (not cast) for maximum "grip" and control
    • Built-in mount points for factory, TF magwells
    • Lowers the center of gravity (better balance, calmer handling, less top-heavy)

      Death grip brass Back strip for Canik TTI Combat

      Posted by Bill on Aug 30th 2025

      I installed the Taylor Freelance Death Grip Brass Backstrap on my Canik TTI Combat Smoke, and the difference was immediate and impressive. The added weight in the grip shifts the center of gravity lower, which noticeably improves the gun’s balance and reduces that top-heavy feel. It’s especially helpful during rapid fire—recoil feels more controlled, and muzzle flip is significantly reduced. The checkering is aggressive in the best way possible. It locks into your palm and gives you a confident, consistent grip without being abrasive. The craftsmanship is top-tier—machined from solid brass, not cast, and it feels like it was built to last. Aesthetically, it complements the Combat Smoke finish beautifully. It adds a subtle but tactical edge that makes the whole setup look and feel more refined. Whether you're on the range or competing, this upgrade delivers both form and function. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their Canik’s handling and performance. It’s not just an accessory—it’s an upgrade.

      The fit & finish are great. The extra weight was a nice addition to the ogun so much I just ordered the Black brass magwell to go with it.

      Canik Rival Brass Backstrap

      Posted by Andrew Bruce on Jan 2nd 2025

      Honestly, I knew the backstrap would change the feel of my poly Rival but not like this... the gun feels balanced now. It had very little felt recoil to begin with. Now it is a tack driver. Follow up shots almost feel like cheating. If your debating picking one up, STOP IT! Just get it! Honestly, I would say if you only get one accessory for your poly Canik Rival, get this backstrap. It makes a good gun great! Thanks TF for a great product!
