Frame mounts designed for Glock pistols add forward weight beneath the dust-cover, helping reduce muzzle flip and providing a solid platform for accessories like thumb rests, compensator supports or short Picatinny rails.
Many Glock shooters use them to achieve improved balance, smoother transitions and precise accessory placement — whether for competition, training or dynamic stages.
Why install a frame mount on your Glock?
-
Reduced muzzle rise by shifting mass forward under the frame.
-
Enhanced recoil control for faster follow-up shots and tighter strings.
-
Accessory ready — enables mounting of thumb rests or compact Picatinny rails.
Compatibility with Glock models
Choose a mount built specifically for your Glock variant. Dust cover length, frame geometry and mounting hole layout vary between generations and sizes.
-
Full-size (G17/G34 etc.): long dust cover — match mount accordingly.
-
Compact (G19/G45 etc.): medium dust cover — check for proper fit and frame taper.
-
Subcompact or carry models: many do **not** include extended dust cover — some mounts may not be compatible or may require a special design.
Material options
Brass
Maximum mass for stability: ideal for competition setups where weight is less of a carry-concern.
Aluminum
Reduced weight while still effective: good balance between control and agility; suited for training or dynamic use.
What you can attach to the frame mount
-
Thumb rest: gives extra support-hand leverage and improves control during transitions.
-
Short Picatinny rail: allows you to add a light or tuning accessory without a full rail system.
-
Compensator support: some mounts are designed to act as stabilizing bases for compensators or bushing attachments.
