So I just got my first glock not too long ago and had this issue a few times while shooting it. I know it's my fault from how my grip is way to high up on the gun and the heel of my palm/ the meat at the base of the thumb engaging the slide lock while firing. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue/ training scar? I usually shoot m&p's for what it's worth. |

FWIW I don't think it's possible to have your grip too high (other than the strong hand experiencing slide bite). I've never seen anyone press up on the slide lock with the base of their support hand thumb, I've seen a few do it with their strong hand thumb. I do it with the Glock 42 but not the 43. My solution is to wrap my strong hand thumb over onto the base of my support hand thumb to make sure it's not near the slide stop. I won't carry the G42 because of this. Not saying its impossible but I've never seen it and I've trained a lot of recruits with huge paws. |
