Product Description
Get a "Death Grip" on that gun!
It all started when 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. Compared to competing models, the Death Grip has more checkering in contact with your hand plus a high level of weight, thus more of the control-enhancing features you want!
Weight and felt recoil are directly related. By adding weight a lightweight 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 point for factory and TF magwells (typical "tailhook" style)
- Lowers the center of gravity (better balance, calmer handling, less top-heavy)
Weight: 3 ounces
Material: Brass
Color: Black

Worth it!
I was hesitant but after installing and heading to the range, definitely made a difference. Quality it top notch. Paired with the brass side panels, made the frame feel more balanced.
-
Solid!
Best upgrade you can add to your VP9! Along with the side panels it makes the gun very balanced, if you’re thinking about using a VP9 I cannot recommend anything else but Taylor Freelance.

VP9 Death Grip
This was an excellent upgrade for my VP9 Match. The texture feels great and the shape is better than any of the back straps that came with the pistol.

VP9 Match weight and balance improvement
Improved weight and balance when mated with brass side panels and brass magwell - about 8 oz total. Great fit and finish of these parts made installation easy.
-
Just fantastic
Been buying from TF for over ten years. Always impeccable quality, fit and finish. Death grip is exactly what you’d expect. Get the side panels, too. Robin and company are great people
-
Must have...
Just what I needed to add a bit more weight. Quality and design are on point. Will go match well withe the brass side panels.

Brass Backstrap
I added the brass backstrap along with a set of the brass side panels to my VP9 today. Love the feel, the added grip texture, and definitelythe added weight. These parts are well made and the craftsmanship is wonderful. However, I did have to modify my TF magwell in order to clear the new backstrap. Not complaining, only stating my experience. Took about an hour with a dremel and some fine files to have the parts fitting properly. At some point I plan to cerakote the VP9 frame, so not to worry. Still give it 5 stars!!

Very nice
Super easy to install and adds some nice heft. I just wish I got the side panels in brass as well to complete the look. Maybe if there's a sale!

Wished I wouldn’t have waited so long to buy
I had my eye on this for sometime, finally bought this and the 2 side panels. WOW! The feels better and is much better balanced now too. Will be buying another set for my 2nd VP9
