Hey guys, does anyone have a pic to post of the scherer +1 for the 36? I can't find a pic anywhere. Also, what is the width of the slide and the grip frame? I looked at this on my 26 and it is interesting- the slide is only 25mm thick and the grip is 30. Thanks for indulging.
 
Man, that is ugly. I don't know which is worse, the original, the pearce, or the scherer. Ya know, I mean ya think Gaston the almighty might have looked at that grip extension as a problem and just given us a full grip with another round. They just almost get it. First the 30, nope too fat. Then the 36, but not quite long enough. Hopefully the 37 will be 26 length with a fuller grip 10 round capable, but thinnnnnn. Anyway, enough of my crap.
 
Why in the world they designed the G36 with the short grip frame like the G30 but didn't offer a reduced size magazine makes no sense to me. I understand the G30 because you can get the smaller floorplate. You lose one round but gain a bit in concealability. With the G36 all you have is a gun that pinches you when you shoot it. No 5round magazine with a reduced floorplate is offered.

It would have made more sense to make a gripframe the length of the G19/23 series with a smaller almost flush fitting floorplate. Then you wouldn't have that aggravating pinch.

Good Shooting

I agree with redlg it makes no sense why Glock didn't make the grip like the 19/23 length. This would have been a perfect balance with a flat mag plate. Then if you wanted a +2 or +1 make it like the +2 9mm floor plates. No pinching and your hand would not touch the magazine on recoil. I still like my 36 but this is the way it should have been designed. Glock advises against large magazines in Models 26 and 27 because upon recoil your hand moves the magazine and causes malfunctions, then they go ahead and design the 36 just this way makes no sense to me. I have heard that once Mr. Glock makes up his mind on something you can't talk to him. Also why didn't they make the slide the same width as the 9mm & 40 Glocks it is slightly wider but not noticable and it would have given the slide more weight.
Plus building the guns would have been the same. Just my thoughts people who am I to second guess the Master for he is the one who designed the Glocks in the first place. :confused:
 
With that additional height added to the grip, why bother? You've obliterated the whole reason for the G36, CCW.

Don't.:barf:
 
Not everyone has the same requirements as you in a CCW weapon, JT. For me, and lots of other folks, pistol width is much more important than grip height. But for lots of other guys, like yourself, that's the most important.

I agree with a lot of guys that my perfect CCW pistol would be a single stacked frame of 23 length, with a 1" wide slide about the length of the 27, in either .40 or 9mm.

I can make the .94" wide Kahr P40 disappear, but a 1.18" wide Glock 27, with a 1/2" shorter grip prints BAD! :confused:

Anyway, since they already make the perfect CCW pistol for you, let us dream that they'll one day make the perfect one for us too. ;)
 
jt, the additional height is already "there" in the way of an ugly protuberance known as a grip extension. Had Glock just made the grip that same size only with a flat basepad all would be solved. No more pinching, no more ugliness, and the same amount of conceability and controllability. I do like the thinness though. I am curious to know if the slide is actually thinner than 28.5mm. If you measure the 19 slide is only 25mm wide, the 19 grip is 30. The part were the frame tapers is only 22mm. So, there is alot of room with which to play it would seem.
 
I carry my G36 with the standard 6-rnd floorplate, and although I never got bit by the mag/grip gap, I fitted a cut-down Hogue Handall finger groove gripsleeve.

You don't get much added width, but man do those palm swells feel right! The grooves don't hurt, either, as I am not crazy about the 3rd Gen fingergrooves on either this or my G21.

Hence the guncondoms! :cool:

Well, thought I'd share my experiences.

Glock On!!!

I put the Scherer floorplates on mine, and immediately took them off. One, they looked like Joe Poop the Rag Man, second, I wasn't too sure the spring would work properly.
They went in the parts box.
