Kiral Defense and LOK Grips have launched the Kiral Reduced Angle Backstrap for Glock pistols, designed to enhance ergonomics and recoil management. Approved by various law enforcement agencies, it features a natural grip angle, improved profile, durable construction, and an optional shock-absorbing insert, ensuring better control and comfort during use.
LOK Grips state “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 several others. By reducing the grip angle to more closely match a 1911, the Reduced Angle Backstrap improves pointability, reduces wrist strain, and enhances weapon control during high-stress engagements.”
KEY DETAILS:
- Made in the USA
- Patent Pending
- 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 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. - Tested & Approved!
Tested, approved for duty use, and adopted by multiple law enforcement agencies: Kent County Sheriff’s Office (in use by members of the Tactical Apprehension and Confrontation team and others), Grand Rapids Police Department (in use by members of the Special Response Team and others), Wyoming Police Department (issued to all 100+ officers), Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department (in use by members of the Critical Incident Response Team and others), Dowagiac PD, Metro Vancouver Canada Transit Police (training department authorized, department-wide issuance pending)
