Seeking Recommendations for Pinky Extensions

I’ve recently purchased a Glock 26 Gen 5 and I love it! However, I’ve found that the grip can be a little short for my hands, especially when shooting for extended periods. I’ve been looking into pinky extensions to improve my grip comfort and control.

What to Look For

  1. Comfort and Fit: I want something that feels secure and comfortable when I’m holding the gun.
  2. Material Quality: Durability is key since I plan to use my Glock regularly.
  3. Price Point: I’m looking for options in various price ranges, so any recommendations on budget vs premium could really help.
  4. Ease of Installation: I prefer something that’s pretty straightforward to install without needing specialized tools.

I’ve seen a few brands mentioned, like Pearce Grips and GVN Grip Extensions. If anyone has experience with these or other brands, I would love to hear your thoughts. How do they perform in terms of comfort? Are there any drawbacks?

I’ve used the Pearce and the Glock OEM extensions. Honestly, the OEM feels more solid, but both have their pros and cons.

Thanks for sharing! Do you feel like the extra length makes it hard to conceal carry?

For me, it hasn’t made a huge difference in concealability. Just gotta be mindful of how you dress. But I love the extra grip!

Interesting point! I’ve been on the fence about adding one. If it doesn’t affect my concealment much, I might go for it.

I’ve heard good things about the Tyrant Designs extensions too! Has anyone compared those to Pearce? I’m curious about their weight advantages.

I have the Vickers Tactical extension, and it feels lightweight but sturdy. The material is great for grip. I’ve found it helps me with recoil control during practice. Worth checking out!

I agree! The Vickers extension also has a nice, aggressive texture. Adds to the overall performance without feeling bulky.
