Product Description
The original mag guide for the Glock, the Seattle Slug works so well, Robert Vogel used one to win the USPSA "Limited 10" title back in the day. It was banned BY NAME by IDPA, and from USPSA's "Production Division." This is the product that launched Taylor Freelance into the parts business, and it's still in production today.
Why? They work!
Glocks have very lightweight frames. That's great from a military point of view (less to carry around), but it's a trade-off. Less weight = harsher recoil. Adding weight to the grip lowers the center of gravity and slows the recoil impulse. The amount of recoil energy stays the same, but because the frame is recoiling slower, it doesn't feel as "sharp" or harsh. The gun feels mellower in recoil, handles better (not so top-heavy and "flippy"), and reloads much more easily thanks to replacing that gaping hole at the bottom of the frame with a contoured brass mag guide.
A Seattle Slug (like our weighted backstraps for other guns) is one of the simplest, easiest, and most cost-effective ways to improve the way a polymer auto handles. Company founder Robin Taylor says it straight: "Assuming you've got decent sights and a good trigger, if you can only make one change -- get a brass backstrap or a Seattle Slug." As he says, basepads are nice, but a weighted backstrap transforms the gun.
The Seattle Slug is the original heavy backstrap, and has been a "cult classic" among Glock owners for more than 30 years.
We also have Gen 2/3 Slugs and low-profile Seattle Snails in stock now. Look for a Gen 5 coming soon.
