Is Glock Knuckle a real Problem

[ZeroFoxGiven]

I think the bigger or fatter your hands are the more “Problem” it can be without modification.

 

[SIG4life]

I have pretty large hands, not fat but big. My 19.3 causes Glock knuckle for real, especially after a ~150+ rd session

 

[ZeroFoxGiven]

Guns are tools, we don’t adapt to a tool, we adapt the tool to our needs. If it gives you Glock Knuckle, fix it yourself by undercutting the trigger guard or pay someone to fix it for you.

That is why I really like Shadow Systems Pistols because from the factory they addressed every issue people complain about with their Glocks.

At least nobody thought I said Moose Knuckle ......

my mind went there immediately when I read the title. But I knew what you were talking about.

I get it when I draw a lot with finger groove models.

Not an issue with my gen 2 or my agency arms stippled and undercut gen 3.

Dang, now I want a gen 5 g19 for $1k. Eventually one will pop up around here.

Thank you for posting that.

Most of them are 6+ hours away from me.

The early gen 5 non mos non front serrations local to me is tempting.

Different people, different hands. I've owned ~20 Glocks, Gens 2 to 5, probably shot 20+ of other people's Glocks, only one I get glock knuckle from is a Gen5 G19 (which I since sold due to that very reason).

 

[Brandon Breeze]

Glock owner for 24+ years now, never experienced Glock knuckle, or the blister on the finger that many folks seem to complain about

 

[CJ1992]

I too enjoy shooting Glocks and don’t experience Glock knuckle.

 

[bazooka]

I shot my G19 gen3 a lot and got a pretty big callus and it hurt a bit when shooting. I've put it aside and been shooting only my Sig's and the callus went away. I have medium size hands.

 

[Z Arms LLC]

So much so I had to make my own undercut with a Dremel lmao

 

[ShootFirstFirster]

Tape your knuckle while you train. Or just live with it like everyother callus or joint inflammation.

 

[M_N04H]

Glock knuckle isn't an issue for my 17 but I do notice it more when I use the 19. I do have a mild callus on my finger. I notice it even less / not at all when I put the Kiral back strap on my 17 and 26.

 

[21SF 2.0]

Never heard of this, I have big hands.
If you’re a freak then idk lol

 

[NedSled]

Maybe I don't shoot enough to notice but never had an issue. I only ever shoot about 150 rounds in a sitting though.

One thing I WILL admit is that the factory dingus on G17.3 starts to make my booger-digger sore after a bit. I had only ever used aftermarket shoes and when I put about 150 rounds through my spare frame with all OEM parts I was like "wow, I feel bad for every time I scoffed at people complaining about this".

Its not only from shooting. Depending on how you draw some people make it worse by slamming their middle finger knuckle into the trigger guard.

 

[e6n5j8o8i]

Definitely a thing, especially on long range days (shooting 600+). Others have mentioned getting it with finger groove models, which makes sense since it sort of fixes your middle finger into that position. That said I haven't modified any of mine to fix the problem, I just don't shoot more than 300-400 rounds on a Glock if I can help it.
