Product Description
Way back in the early 1990s when we first introduced the Seattle Slug, we offered it in both a "regular" and a "concealment" model.
The "regular" model came out first, and we offered the "concealment" model as a custom product. As it happens, the "regular" model worked pretty well concealed, so the "concealment" model remained a custom-order-only proposition.
With the rise of USPSA Carry Optics (which forbids any extension of the frame) we've got more and more people asking us for the concealment model -- so we decided to make them "for real." The Snail complies with USPSA's requirements, and offers shooters a way to get maximum weight into the gun -- and smooth out your reloads considerably by filling in the void inside the grip. (Which tends to snag the rim of the top-most cartridge in the magazine.)
You'll get a little under 3 ounces of weight out of the modification, which is enough to lower the center of gravity and smooth out the way the gun behaves -- particularly while speed reloading.
This model fits the Glock Gen 2 and Gen 3 frames. There is some variation from Gen to Gen, and from serial number to serial number, so take care to shim up or shave down the slug so you get a gentle press-fit. (Robin likes using a layer of electrician's tape to snug up a loose-fitting Slug/Snail.)
Fits: Glock 17, 17L, 20, 21, 22, 24, 31, 34, and 35
Weight: 3 ounces
Material: Brass

NOTE: Don’t remove the screw from the backstrap as you may strip the screw hole.

Had this thing in my sights for months; bookmarked, hovered, debated.
If I’d known how much it would improve the feel and control of my G17, I would've pulled the trigger on it a long time ago. The added weight and balance is noticeable and appreciated, especially for fast follow-ups and transitions. Just ordered another one for my backup G17. Solid piece of kit.

Seattle Snail
The Seattle, snail workmanship,was great and it fit easily into my Glock 17 frame. Added just to write on a way to make the gun feel more balanced.

Seattle Snail
Very discreet. Fills the grip void perfectly and has a nice bevel for easy magazine changes. Adds a decent amount of weight that helps balance the recoil.

Awesome!
The fit and finish and tolerance of the snail is typical Taylor Freelance perfect. What makes this product and is not show in the picture is the scoop on the backside. It mates up perfectly with the cutout inside of the magwell and speeds up your reloads. And the weight helps manage your sight picture.

Great Grip Weight
The Seattle Snail is a little heavier than other products out there, The feature that really stands out, is the little bevel cut at the bottom. It functions almost like an internal magwell that helps speed up and smooth out mag changes. I highly recommend this mod.
