Xgrip

Post by Deputydave »

I carry a Glock 26.4 off duty. Up until today I used a regular G26 10-round with either a Tango Down +2 or Hyve +2 extender. Taking a look at a thread over on GT I decided to get the Xgrip to convert a G19 mag and try it out. Cost $12 off Ebay and came in the mail today. Popped on a G19 mag as expected and have to say that I like it quite a bit. Fills my hand more than even the Hyve +2. Particularly the portion of the rear strap that goes against my palm. Feel like I have an even more positive purchase all the way around.

Good $12 investment.

Anyone else use an Xgrip?

I use the X-Grip on my Beretta 92FS M9A1 Compact and absolutely love it!

Fits perfect and clean lines.

To be honest, I don't know why I didn't think of doing this before rather than the +2 base plates. Same size pretty much but better capacity and you don't have to worry about function or springs being long enough.

On my that is a beautiful pistol, had the chance to buy one years ago and passed; still kicking myself.

The Xgrip is one of those ideas that are a well kept secret but is an awesome addition to your pistol. I have a few and really like them.

In the G26, I really like the 12 round Magpul mags. They leave the 'total package' just small enough to not be G19 sized.

Since picking up a G43 I haven't had much need for the G26 though...

I had a G43 but just didn't like the limited magazine capacity. Eventually traded it off for something else. Picked up the Sig P365 and now I have capacity options of 10, 12 or 15 rounds.

Although I don't carry the G26 any longer, I still use it with a G19 mag and Xgrip for HD. I like the 16 rounds on tap.

The G43 was my "gym" gun. Super light and could be tucked AIWB and not interfere with working out.

Since I've converted to a home gym, I haven't felt the need for anything smaller than a P229 in a while!
