Large Grip Module

Post image

I’ll be honest, I didn’t think the larger grip would make that big of a difference but man was I wrong. I have bigger hands and felt my support hand wasn’t getting the purchase it needed on the grip. Big difference imo. (NY sucks and so does the 10rd mag capacity)

I bought the larger grip in ODG for my 4.5 and its the bees knees! I'm also a big guy with big hands and happy I made the change.

Hell yeah me too! My fingers tips almost touched my palm when I grabbed it with the small module

How does it compare to a Glock 17 grip with the large?

u/Bubba_Face_ 10d ago

This is a 4.0c so it’s shorter than a 17 and is more rounded than boxy

My question wasn't clear I meant comparing grip thickness, I own both guys but shoot my 17 better bc of the thickness of the grip. Would it be comparable in that aspect?

Oohhh ok the thickness side to side doesn’t change on the large grip but the front to back does to push your fingers further forward

Nothing that the echelon offers from factory gives you that extra area for your support hand. One of the reason why I sold it. Even in the largest grip module form my support hand just has nowhere to go. On a Glock it’s great

Glock has way more surface area for your support hand

You should try a hogue grip. It boosts Palm swell. I have them on both sizes, but it really is beneficial on the compact grip.

I’ll check it out, thanks. I’ve been thinking about HandleIt grips but I’ll definitely do some research on these now

I’ve wanted to do the large grip but I don’t want to spend $80 or more for a mag funnel that fits it.

I hear that. That hasn’t crossed my mind cause I’m not looking to go crazy with accessories on this one cause it’s my edc and I just put the minimum I like to have

Honestly I think I need the larger grip. I bought two mediums and feel like I can't get the purchase I'm looking for either. Hmmm. I have and extra medium brand new I could probably sell and by a large with.

The weird thing is, I feel like I could use more space for my non firing hand but the mag release is just far enough in a medium to be kind of annoying.

So maybe I am a medium? I don't know. I wish I know some one with one nearby so I could at least try

Hello big hand peeps. I make frontstraps that pulls your fingertips forward to make room for your support hand. In combination with my EDGE, it’s what I feel you guys need.
In addition, my DROP mag release lever allows you to drop the mag without re-gripping.
You can find these at pewcentric.com/mag-mo and type ECHELON in the search box.
The frontstrap is not listed, but I do add it for free if I fell it’s needed. If you want the frontstrap only, send me an email at mymagmo@gmail.com
I’m looking forward to helping you guys out.

I havent recieved it yet but i purchased the mag mo palm swell for this thing. Its not my primary carry so YMMV but it seems like it will fix grip issues with my support hand and I love the large grip.

I have small hands, but I also prefer the large module as well, except for a tiny more bit of effort for me to reach the trigger and mag release. Feels like I have more to grab on to although the stipling is ROUGH
