Glock was the manufacturer that made “plastic” guns a norm. The Springfield XD has been another big contender. Then Smith & Wesson came out with the M&P and what really set the M&P apart was the interchangable backstraps to allow for better grip-to-hand customization and fit (something easier to do with non-plastic-framed guns, like 1911’s). Then Springfield came out with the XD(m), and interchangable backstraps. And it seems now Glock will too. Rumor here, confirmed here.

I’m not a Glock fan in large part because of the grip. Maybe this will help. I have thought about a Glock 20 because 10mm would be a welcome thing for treading in places where one may have to contend with 2 or 4 legged predators, but I wouldn’t be happy about it. But if better grips are coming hey, that gives me hope.
