    Product Description

    We have a bunch of Mete/Rival/TTI Death Grip backstraps that came out roughly .015" inch "undersize" when measured from the flat side to the top of the rounded hump of the of the grip. Price is for a single backstrap.
     
    These backstraps are mechanically perfect -- and most people won't notice the difference -- but they don't meet our standard of quality control. If look closely you can see that these are a little narrow at the top. Also, because they're shorter, you can see where the two sides of the checkering pattern meet (normally you can't see that).
     
    If you're focused on function, this is your backstrap!
     
    Similarly, if you're intending to wrap your gun in skate tape or some other enhancement, there's no reason to pay full price for one that's perfect. Get one of these and save yourself some money.
     
    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)

    PLEASE WATCH THIS ASSEMBLY VIDEO -- bad things can happen if you do it wrong:  https://youtu.be/Sx3u4qq0ueY

    Does not fit the Rival-S.

      Biem brass backstrap

      Posted by Zx14dude on May 10th 2025

      The added weight helps, I like it ... I'm not a competition shooter, but me and the son shoot on timers at the range.

      Posted by John Ousnamer on May 3rd 2025

      Perfect fit, easy installation. It looks GREAT on my Canik Rival-Dark Horse! I like the added weight to the grip and the feel it gives the gun!

      It works

      Posted by Mike on Mar 30th 2025

      adding some weight to balance my SFX Rival helps keep my shots flat. Getting this on discount made the purchase even better.

      Great addition to the Rival

      Posted by KW on Mar 9th 2025

      Just enough aggressiveness for a sticky grip but not so much that it turns into a cheese grater at matches or back to back range days. The added weight is especially helpful when the mag starts to run dry and the Rival gets light. Yes, it says closeout but don't let that deter you. The fit and finish is fine in hand. Just as pictured in the photo.

      Great product.

      Posted by Eddie on Mar 2nd 2025

      This is a great product, highly recommended. It has a great grip and adds weight to the pistol.
