Reduced angle and shock-absorber backstrap for Glock 17/19 Gen 4/5 - Lok Grips

The Kiral Defense™ Reduced Angle Backstrap for Glock® Pistols is an innovative upgrade designed to enhance your pistol’s ergonomics and recoil management. It was developed in conjunction with members of the two largest police departments in western Michigan and officially approved for duty use by those departments and other elite federal agencies. By reducing the grip angle to more closely match a 1911, the Reduced Angle Backstrap improves the natural point of aim, reduces wrist strain, and enhances weapon control during high-stress engagements.

Laser cut silicon carbide granulate tape is available separately for enhanced grip in all weather conditions and is suitable for both carry and competition.

Failsafe Design and Nonpermanent Installation: The firearm remains fully functional even if the backstrap is damaged or removed. Importantly, for professional users who must comply with organizational rules on weapon modifications, the installation does not permanently alter the weapon.

Natural Grip Angle: Unlike the factory Glock® design that forces your wrists to overextend downwards, this backstrap adjusts the grip angle to more closely match handguns like the 1911 or Staccato® 2011® by reducing the angle by approximately 10 degrees. This means your Glock® now points more naturally, offering faster and more intuitive aiming and greater potential for accuracy.

Improved Grip Profile: The backstrap is designed to fill the palm of the hand and help keep the Glock® pistol on target. Our law enforcement test partners noted that it was easier to keep the dot visible in their optic window during rapid fire with this backstrap installed. The backstrap’s contour also tends to reduce the tendency for new Glock® shooters to pull shots off target when the pistol shifts in the hand during the trigger press.

Durable Polymer Construction: The outer shell is made from abrasion-resistant, rugged nylon, designed for maximum durability. Combined with a stainless steel mounting pin for easy, non-permanent installation, this backstrap stays secure and performs under even the toughest conditions.

Optional Shock-Absorbing Rubber Insert: The soft rubber insert is engineered to reduce felt recoil in the web of the hand, offering an extra layer of comfort and stability. Its novel design helps mitigate the impact of each shot by flexing inward when compressed, allowing for quicker and more accurate follow-ups and less hand fatigue during extended range sessions.
