When it comes to picking the right pistol, feel in hand is just as important as reliability, accuracy, and customization. And if you’ve ever picked up a GLOCK™, you probably noticed something right away—the grip angle.

At 22 degrees, GLOCK™ pistols have long been known for their reliability and performance, but they’ve also been criticized for feeling unnatural in the hand. Some shooters adapt, others force themselves to get used to it, and a large number simply move on to something that feels better.

That’s where the Lone Wolf Timberwolf® Pistol comes in.

This isn’t just another GLOCK™ alternative. It’s a fully reimagined platform, built with a 19-degree grip angle—an angle much closer to the legendary 1911’s 18-degree grip. And for many shooters, that makes all the difference.

Grip Angle: Why It Changes Everything

If you’ve ever shot a pistol that just felt "off," there’s a good chance grip angle was the reason. The angle of a pistol’s grip directly affects how naturally you present the gun, how quickly you acquire your sights, and how comfortable the gun feels over long shooting sessions.

The 22-degree grip angle on GLOCK™ pistols forces the wrist into a slightly steeper position, which can feel awkward to some shooters. This angle works, and millions of people have trained with it successfully—but that doesn’t mean it’s the best option for everyone.

By contrast, the 19-degree grip angle of the Timberwolf provides a more neutral, natural wrist position. If you’ve ever shot a 1911 and loved the way it pointed, the Timberwolf offers a similar experience—but with all the advantages of a modern, polymer-framed handgun

A Pistol That Points Naturally

With the Timberwolf, Lone Wolf Arms didn’t just tweak the grip angle; they optimized the entire shooting experience:

• Relieved-Radius Beavertail – Allows for a higher grip, reducing felt recoil and improving control.

• Undercut Trigger Guard – Eliminates "GLOCK™ knuckle" and lets you get even higher on the grip for better handling.

• Low-Profile Magwell – Helps with faster reloads without adding bulk.

• Interchangeable Backstraps – Customizable fit for different hand sizes.

The result? A pistol that points more naturally, helps you acquire sights faster, and simply feels better in the hand.

GEN3 & GEN4 Slide Compatibility – The Best of Both Worlds

Beyond the grip angle, the Timberwolf offers another major advantage—compatibility with both GEN3 and GEN4 GLOCK™ slides.

By removing the dust cover adapter, shooters can switch between slide generations, making the Timberwolf one of the most versatile GLOCK™-pattern pistols available. Whether you have an older slide or want to use newer GEN4 features, the Timberwolf lets you build your pistol your way.

Final Thoughts: A Better Shooting Experience

Some pistols feel good. Others shoot well. The Timberwolf does both.

If you’ve ever struggled with the steep grip angle of a GLOCK™, the 19-degree Timberwolf frame might be exactly what you’re looking for. It’s ergonomic, adaptable, and built for performance, making it one of the best options for shooters who want the reliability of a GLOCK™-pattern pistol with a grip that feels right.
