A firearm with reversible backstrap and method of use. The firearm in one embodiment includes a frame defining a grip and a cavity therein, and a backstrap insert that is removably positioned in the cavity. The insert includes first and second backstrap grip surfaces that are each respectively disposed on opposite portions of the backstrap insert, such as a front portion and a rear portion in one embodiment. Preferably, the second backstrap grip surface is different than the first grip surface in some characteristic, such as thickness, profile or shape, material of construction, surface texture, etc. In one embodiment, the position of the insert may be reversed in the frame to selectively reverse the orientation of the first and second grip surfaces between front-facing and rear-facing in some embodiments to provide a user with a choice of grip surfaces. In some embodiments, this allows the user to change the grip depth of the firearm.

What is claimed is: 1. A firearm with reversible grip backstrap comprising: a firearm frame defining a grip and a cavity; and a backstrap insert removably positioned in the cavity, the backstrap including a first grip surface and a second grip surface, wherein the position of the backstrap in the cavity is reversible to alternate orientation of the first and second grip surfaces. 2. The firearm of claim 1, wherein the backstrap has a first position in which the first grip surface is oriented to face forward and the second grip surface is oriented to face rearward. 3. The firearm of claim 1, wherein the second grip surface projects rearward and outwards from the cavity. 4. The firearm of claim 3, wherein the first grip surface faces forward and inwards towards the cavity. 5. The firearm of claim 1, wherein the backstrap insert has an asymmetrical shape defined by the first and second grip surfaces. 6. The firearm of claim 1, wherein the first and second grip surfaces are disposed on opposite front and rear portions of the backstrap insert respectively. 7. The firearm of claim 1, wherein the first and second grip surfaces define respective different thicknesses, the first and second grip surfaces having a first orientation when the backstrap is positioned in the firearm frame defining a first grip depth. 8. The firearm of claim 7, wherein the first and second grip surfaces have a second orientation when the backstrap is positioned in the firearm frame defining a second grip depth different than the first grip depth. 9. The firearm of claim 1, wherein the first grip surface is convex in profile and the second grip surface is substantially flat in profile. 10. The firearm of claim 1, wherein the first grip surface is ribbed or serrated. 11. The firearm of claim 1, wherein the backstrap is made of an elastomeric material. 12. A firearm with reversible grip backstrap comprising: a firearm frame defining a grip and a cavity; and a backstrap including a first grip surface and a second backstrap grip surface disposed on opposite portions of the backstrap, the first grip surface being different than the second grip surface, the backstrap removably positioned in the cavity and defining a first orientation wherein the first grip surface faces forward and the second grip surface faces rearward; wherein reversing the position of backstrap in the cavity defines a second orientation wherein the first grip surface faces rearward and the second grip surface faces forward. 13. The firearm of claim 12, wherein the backstrap in the second orientation is rotated 180 degrees from the first orientation. 14. The firearm of claim 12, wherein the first grip surface is convex in profile and the second grip surface is substantially flat in profile. 15. The firearm of claim 12, wherein the first and second orientations each define respective first and second grip depths, the second grip depth being different than the first grip depth. 16. The firearm of claim 12, wherein the firearm frame defines a pair of spaced-apart ribs in the cavity that are adapted to slidably receive a pair of spaced-apart channels in the backstrap. 17. The firearm of claim 12, wherein the first and second grip surfaces define respective different thicknesses, the first orientation of the backstrap in the cavity defining a first grip depth. 18. The firearm of claim 17, wherein the second orientation of the backstrap in the cavity defines a second grip depth different than the first grip depth. 19. The firearm of claim 18, wherein the second grip depth is smaller than the first grip depth. 20. A firearm with reversible backstrap comprising: a firearm grip frame having a depth and defining a cavity; and a backstrap removably positioned in the cavity in a first position, the backstrap including a first grip surface and a second grip surface disposed on opposite front and rear portions of the backstrap respectively, the first grip surface defining a first side profile and a first thickness and the second grip surface defining a second side profile and a second thickness different than the first thickness, wherein reversing the position of the backstrap in the cavity to a second position changes a combined depth of the firearm grip frame and backstrap. 21. The firearm of claim 20, wherein the first grip surface is convex in profile and the second grip surface is substantially flat in profile. 22. The firearm of claim 20, wherein when the backstrap is in the first position in the cavity, the first grip surface faces forward and the second grip surface faces rearward, and wherein when the backstrap is in the second position in the cavity, the first grip surface faces rearward and the second grip surface faces forward. 23. The firearm of claim 22, wherein the combined depth of the firearm grip frame and backstrap is measured from a front surface of the firearm grip frame to the second grip surface defining a first grip depth when the backstrap is in the first position, and wherein the combined depth of the firearm grip frame and backstrap is measured from the front surface of the firearm grip frame to the first grip surface defining a second grip depth when the backstrap is in the second position, the first grip depth being different than the second grip depth. 24. The firearm of claim 20, wherein the first backstrap grip surface has a texture different than the second grip surface.
