EngineerEli Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) The subject about covers it. There was some discussion here a while back about the possibility of LOK making some of their G10 grips for Tanfo's. At least for me, they sound like exactly what I've been waiting for, but I've heard nothing recently. Has anyone handled any in person, are there any grip sets out there in the wild? Or, did the whole project go nowhere??? I always see CZ shooters raving about them, and I'm getting jealous!!!

EngineerEli Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 It's starting to seem like the answer is no... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryridesmotox Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Has anyone made micarta grips? You can do them at home pretty easily. Cut up some old jeans or whatever mix up some fiberglass resin, slap em together, let it cure, and sand to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Below http://forums.brianenos.com/index.php?showtopic=237505 I posted my interest over on your new thread. I'm in for at least one set. If anyone else is reading this and is interested in a pair of these grips, make sure you go to the link above and post how many pairs you would be interested in. Its all about supply and demand, we need to prove our demand to the manufacturer in order to get any supply!

dogtired Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Are these fat grips like the CZ palm swell? I need a fat with magwell version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I was going to do standard and palm swell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Mitch Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 What is the difference between standard and palm swell? Like factory and extra fat? Or slim and factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or slim and factory? Take a look at the grips from the rear, you see the swell in the middle for the palm, it makes them more comfortable to some. I prefer it. A lot of the most comfortable CZ grips come with this profile, the plastic and rubber ones. Many of the new aftermarket are completely or mostly flat which I and many others do not feel as ergonomic.

Kingman Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 OK... I sent in a few sets of grips off of my Limited and Stock 3. They do not match the mock ups he had. He used a standard framed gun to make the initial molds. He is reworking them. I still have 10 sets on order. I am told a month to redesign.

EngineerEli Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks for the update! It's unfortionate he had the wrong frames in mind. If he already has the molds though, I guess he can expand his product offerings those should work on the elitematch guns and the stock 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've left the factory grips on my Stock 2 pistols due to large hands. I suppose no one has tried any of these grips since they don't exist yet. The palm swell sounds like a hot ticket.

JHicks8h Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Jayson @ LOK has done a fantastic job jumping in the competition market and building useful products. I worked with him on the CZ palm swell grips and I am certain the EAA grips will have the same quality. The anticipation is the worst part of the R&D process.

Something just dawned on me... If you sent him the grips off a stock 3, those are the newer version of the wood grips right? IMO the first generation wood grips were slightly more ergonomic. May be worth getting a pair of those over to him for consideration... Do others agree with my oppinion of new vs old Tanfo wood grips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue he has to look at is the back side and fitment to the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'm under the impression the fitment of the first and second generation factory wood grips on the large frame Tanfo Elite frames was the same... Should be interchangeable. The older ones just had a different external contour, more of a palm swell and a different checkering. I do like the smooth strip along the rear of the new grips though.

Kingman Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I don't think he was starting with an elite frame based on our conversations. I may be wrong, but that is what I am guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the guns of interest here use the Witness Elite frames, the Limited, Limited Pro, Stock II, and Stock III, are all Witness Elite guns. Same grips different lengths. (mag well or no mag well) That part of the description is often not mentioned in discussion, but that is what I mean. The only other versions are the Witness Elite Match frames, and the original Witness Steel frames, which in full size configuration, I believe use the same grips as the Match. I hadn't noticed the Elite Match guns did have the word "Elite" in there description still, which makes it a little confusing, but all the "Match" guns have different grips than the ones we are most interested in, listed above.
