How do I install my Glocktail?

  1. Be sure the gun is unloaded.
  2. Be SURE the gun is unloaded.
  3. The easiest installation will be with the gun clamped in a padded vice, but you can get the rubber on without one.
  4. A helpful hint is to use a hair dryer on medium heat to warm the rubber.
  5. Slide/roll the rubber on to the grip. It will probably take both hands.
  6. Hold the GlockTail in place, on the pistol.
  7. Roll/slide the rubber up on to the GlockTail.
  8. If necessary, the long end of the GlockTail can be filed, sanded, or otherwise customized to your satisfaction. Be carefully to NOT put any notches on the GlockTail during the customization. While the GlockTail is an extremely durable product, as with anything, a notch may cause it to start to break. This is the only thing that will void the warranty.

An optional installation method is to use grip tape (skateboard tape) to hold the GlockTail in place. To make a great template, cover a piece of paper with some kind of tape (masking tape, or duct tape), and begin to slowly cut out a template. After your template is made (on the paper) trace it on to the grip tape. Be sure you get it right side up, in relation to the grippy side of the tape! If you do this enough times, you'll be able to do a "full wrap", with only one seam. Grip tape will take a little getting used to, but your hand will NOT slip, I don't care how wet it is!
