Solid brass "backstrap" grip panel for the Canik TP9SF Elite/Elite Combat/Elite Executive and Mete SF (compact). 


  • High-traction checkered surface (better control)
  • built-in mount for Canik or TF Magwell
  • big increase in weight (3.5 ounces)
  • Grip size = roughly Canik "Medium" (larger of the two standard sizes)
  • DOES NOT the full-size Mete SFX or SFT.

Weight and felt recoil are directly related, so by adding weight, our metal backstraps calm the gun down, creating a smoother-shooting, softer-kicking, more-neutrally-balanced handgun. Adding weight to the frame also reduces the tendency toward "weak wrist" malfunctions common to all polymer frame handguns.


This manifests itself most often when shooting weak-hand-only. Extra mass gives the frame a greater resistance to being pushed rearward in recoil -- helping ensure reliable cycling when the shooter can't supply full resistance due to weakness, poor form, or a too-low grip. The metal backstrap concept descends directly from our famous "Seattle Slug" magazine guide, which adds 3.5 ounces of weight to the Gen. 2/3 Glock 17. That concept worked so well, it was eventually banned BY NAME in both USPSA and IDPA.


Weight: 3.5 ounces

Material: Brass

Color: Cerakoted Black (matte)


NOTE: Works with the Canik compact-size frames, i.e. the Elite (all) and Mete SF (NOT the full-size Mete SFX or SFT).
