just got my 19x and was looking for grips. this helped a lot. Just ordered a trijicon rmr, true precision barrel, and a johnny glock trigger kit for it. hoping to make it my comp gun. keep up the good work.

[@danielfisch655]

Thanks for another informative video, brother.

[@joaquin-jacknava2696]

Hello I have watched several of your video and have subscribed. Enjoy and have found your videos helpful. Thank you.

[@deondunn3074]

Very helpful video. Thanks!

[@rickhoffman7656]

thank alot man, very helpful, and informative.

[@donelkins5476]

Great informative video Sir, well done!! Did you refinish the slide or is that an oem finish? Thank You

[@BagsEsquire]

Nice vid! About to put some grey rubber ones on my 43x. Did you skip the hairdryer part or just not show it? Curious if you totally skipped it and didn’t notice any difference in adhesion. Their instructions recommend using a hairdryer while pressing and repeating that process 2-3 times.

[@mytquin7605]

check out their edge series tape. excellent feel. very aggressive but not bad to your skin.

[@freakindawgen]

Covered up the reason I bought mine.

[@Matthew-yq6ho]

I would recommend using a heat gun or hair dryer to activate the glue to get better aheashen.

[@blueberryog69]

I have a question, I have the glock 19, I like the medium size beaver tale extension, can I leave it on and put on the grips or do I have to take it off and apply it?

[@brettsilva7317]

With the back strap you would NOT want to put it up high on the backstrap near the beaver tail. You want that area smooth so when you get your master grip your hand can slide up as high as possible. If it is stippled or textured your hand will obviously not slide up as high as possible. Some people do it but they really shouldn’t if they want to be the best they can be. Oh yeah great video! :)

[@DesertGuardian]

Brett Silva great point! Thanks for the input!

[@traeschoeff4655]

How do the index finger part hold up pulling it out of a holster for awhile

[@disarray1611]

I emailed handleit grips about a kit for large backstraps, they said one size fits all. I honestly don't see it. Talon grips has a larger back piece for the large back strap

[@Kusgan4x4]

Nice!!!

[@ADSaaron]

Do they make these in a Tan/FDE color?

[@Lollygaggers]

How different do these feel compared to talon grips ?

[@michealvega1373]

Does the grip come in coyote??

[@kreevisful]

How are the grips holding up?

[@EmilsanP]

Any other colors to match the 19x?

[@rabnawaz3347]

Sir, is this silicone rubber?

[@ItsZellTv]

what muzzle do you have on it

[@gabrielrivera8849]

Hay desert do you think you can do a review on an H&K mr762?

[@DesertGuardian]

Gabriel Rivera I’ll see what I can do! They are hard to find right now!

[@mikerau3004]

Hey I was wondering where you got the honey comb stickers on your mag release??

[@jeepsterchris5462]

Mike Rau it’s not a sticker. The mag Release is made by Hyve Technologies and comes laser etched with the honeycomb logo

[@douglasphillips24]

I always remove the slide when installing grips .

[@panzos285]

Hey brother I have an important question I need to ask you where on Earth did you get that Barrel I went online when I saw your first video when you installed your extended magazine release when I saw the barrel I tried to find one I could not find one where did you get it??

[@DesertGuardian]

panzos285 it’s from Backup Tactical www.backuptactical.com

[@panzos285]

Desert Guardian thank you my friend I really appreciate it

[@bigtuna5334]

Did the grip block the rear pin access for the trigger assembly??

[@Dave-vc4mh]

Love that barrel what kind is it. I know it’s threaded!!

[@DesertGuardian]

Dave 80 it’s made by Backup Tactical

[@jeffkinder6865]

How are these grips holding up? I just bought a gen 4 19 and i seen these on eBay pretty cheap

[@DesertGuardian]

I've had them on for over two years, and still work great!

[@shibumi5210]

"You don't want to touch that adhesive and get oils and such all over it..."- then immediately peels off the entire backing paper and starts fingering all over the adhesive... : / How about taking off half the backing, using the rest to position the first application area?

[@alant5757]

I guess you didn’t listen to him.... he said “you don’t want” to.... I want to see someone install one of these and NEVER EVER touch the back adhesive side.

[@pattyhuachacarubina4781]

Me gustan los videos pero quisiera que tambien se den en español

[@cmg3988]

I dont like how the back grip piece doesnt fully cover the fde and leaves weird spaces. Or was it just put on incorrectly?

[@daleeveland5579]

Check out talon grips

[@mlk22]

How rough is the texture? Is there any chance that it might damage clothes? We have a holster which puts the gun very close to our body and we're scared that our clothes might get damaged training with the gun.

[@DesertGuardian]

mlk22 it’s not rough at all. It’s grippy, but will not chaff or damage clothes. I’ve concealed carries these grips in all kinds of clothing and against bare skin. No problems.

[@mlk22]

@@DesertGuardian Ok Thank you very much. I think my colleague will try it then :)

[@Growler_Guy]

Compare this with Talon Grips

[@TKTactical1]

You messed it all up bro

[@The-Homecook-0000]

How are these grips holding up...Are they better then talon grips.

[@DesertGuardian]

Black Jack they are holding up really well! I had some talons on my Shield and they weren’t nearly as tough

[@SCT_Junior]

If you could go back and purchase again would you buy the rubber or granulate grips?

[@DesertGuardian]

4city0fnopitysj8 the rubber. Every time!

[@mhey1705]

It's just overkill to me. I don't find the G19x slips out of my grip to begin with. Better option than stippling though. That to me just permanently ruins your gun. Thanks for the review.

[@N3wbMa5t3r]

Granulated is the way to go... You just need to sand it down a bit and it's perfect for concealed carry or duty carry.

[@vinnier6]

I always take the slide off

[@TheBadnewz79]

For some reason I cannot find these grips on that website. What are they listed as?

[@austinsuter328]

They're hard to find on it. Check Amazon/Ebay for easier purchasing in my opinion

[@tr7287]

Badnewz ST handle it grips.com

[@vinnier6]

And a hair dryer is your friend during the installation

[@ctrl_alt_del100]

I thought I was the only one I also hate stippling

[@jdmDC2ftw]

Do they recommend adding heat to it to make it bond and shape on better? Kind of like what talon grip does.

[@DesertGuardian]

Dc2 it’s not necessary for all applications, but heat does help it get adhesion to the little nooks and crannies! Just a hair dryer...no need for a heat gun or anything extreme

[@Bonsignore4U]

Dude you need to add the retail price

[@DesertGuardian]

Angelo Bonsignore here you go...$10.99 on sale! www.handleitgungrips.com/product-page/glock-19-x-textured-rubber-grip-enhancement

[@RaptorInNewMexico]

You didn't clean the left finger rest with alcohol. Love the video

[@DesertGuardian]

Jay it always amazes me how people pick out the tiniest details and are sure to let me know about it. Good eye...oh and by the way...a YEAR later and it didn’t fall off.

[@j-mamiscastro5646]

Is that the rubber or sandpaper type?

[@DesertGuardian]

J - MAMIS Castro these are the rubber type

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

Just add some heat to them and good to go

[@keithpepe7037]

I think they want you to use a blow drying at the end .

[@dalebfast]

I used a heat gun, on the lowest setting, cool down then repeated for maximum adhesion.

[@tr7287]

dalebfast not everyone has a heat gun, but most people have a hair blow dryer

[@xaviergutierrez4212]

Is it rubbery or granulated?

[@DesertGuardian]

Xavier Gutierrez it’s rubbery but solid...not like sand paper. Great texture

[@johnsmith-cx9vx]

how is it shooting the 19x without any backstraps? i love glocks, but i HATE removable back straps. there a cheap rickety feeling gimick on any gun. *CRACK* *sip* yep the glock gen 3 was the last good glock. wish it came without pic rails tho

[@DesertGuardian]

john smith In my opinion, it feels great! My hands are not huge, so I don’t need additional thickness or back straps.

[@johnsmith-cx9vx]

Desert Guardian thanks for the info man, what about that weird line on the back where you would put on the backstraps, does it rub your hand in a weird way? i mean i guess i just get the feeling this thing is really cool, but not meant to be shot without any backstraps... hope im wrong

[@DesertGuardian]

john smith I don’t even notice it. You should see if your local range has a gen4 and up rental model to try out. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

[@johnsmith-cx9vx]

Desert Guardian ok cool, thanks for the info. i wonder if i can get a discount if i buy it with no back straps

[@rdean45acp]

I have the medium beavertail back strap on my 19x and it's fine. It is held in with a different pin it's just like normal, I love having the beavertail for added piece of mind that the slide wont bite me. Oh, and the 19x imho is the best glock ever, balance, follow up shots, and trigger are awesome at least to me, great gun!

[@aaronkoch100]

So no heat gun?

[@jeepsterchris5462]

aaronkoch100 i used my wife’s hair dryer afterwards. Honestly, the material is so nice I have run them on a few of my EDCs without using any heat afterwards.

[@brian50g]

Sure fire way to make your pistol look silly

[@BPoweredLove]

6:14 I'm wondering why you'd want to install the grips with the slide on. 1) it's so much lighter and easier to maneuver around, improved ergonomics and 2) the "the gun is unloaded and cleared" part is quite obviously handled even better - there's no barrel to worry about where you're pointing it that you address at 6:14
