Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. The SP-01 is legal weight in IDPA now, the Shadow 2 isn't. Seems like they can still make money on the Shadow 1, and isn't that what they (or any company) mainly cares about?
  2. I have small hands, the mag release full cutout on the Lok grips helps a lot. I don't need to reposition my hand to hit the mag release. I also have the VZ diamondbacks. Both feel really good in their own way.
  3. Do you have to remove the rear sight for the black nitride at H&M? I have a HAJO sight on my Shadow.
  4. But Stoeger probably has excellent eyesight and isn't partially color blind. I guess if you had really good eyes that would make sense though.
  5. I have the new palm swell LOK grips also and love them. I have really small hands and use them with the full relief cut with no problems at all. I don't even have to adjust the gun my hand to hit the mag release.
  6. They are only .015" thicker than stock grips, unless I'm missing something. Yeah, that's what I saw too. Plus with the relief cut you should be able to use them with smaller hands without issues.
  7. These look awesome. I'm not sure I'd want even bigger than the rubber grips but who knows, with the thumb relief maybe it wouldn't be an issue for smaller hands. Here's a good look at these: http://www.imgrum.net/media/1243066428228172994_2159994158
  8. How did you like these? Is there any curvature at all, or is it really flat? I saw their newer ones but they might be too much palm swell for my small hands. Every other g10 grip out there is flatish.. i would assume those are no different. I figured as much too but a hands on opinion never hurts. I'll just order them and see what I think.

  10. The Copper Guns lava grips weigh just 0.80 ounces.
  11. LOL, he's very descriptive. FWIW, Ben Stoeger says he does the same thing. He puts his finger closer to the joint, instead of using the pad.
  12. The scales are the grips I want to like the most.. but just can't. The feel in one hand is amazing, I love the taper. I agree they also provide a decent amount of grip. Not sure why but my follow up shots are never as good, plus at times I crush my strong hand finger tips on the edge of the holes. I'm going to try to either send them back of sell them. The red is really nice looking though, best color I've seen so far on grips. I also tried out some Copper Guns grips. They are my favorite so far. At first I thought being so small that I would hate them, but after shooting with them I really like them. The palm swell works great with the grippy material. They're also crazy light (0.8 ounces), which I thought would detract from them, but I can't tell any difference when shooting. I saw some comments about them being fragile. I've had them on/off probably five times so far, going through my 'test every grip' phase and had no issues. They are a bit flimsy, I can lift up the edge (which overhangs the magwell slightly), with a fingernail so a stronger material might be nicer, but so far they work well. I think I'll be selling the VZ's and the Scales.
  13. I know the OP has resolved his issue but thought I'd give some feedback. I tried the Scales grips also. They have a great shape, even for somebody with small hands (thin, short fingers). The main problem that has me doubting them is the way my strong hand finger tips get crushed on the edge of the holes by my support hand. If they were a different texture (and maybe had a tiny palm swell), they would be perfect, because the shape really is nice. For comparison, I have: - rubber grips - thin aluminum grips - VZ diamondbacks - Scales I just got the Scales today and went out and shot a few hundred rounds changing grips. I'll probably go out tomorrow again and see if I can decide which I'm going to stick with.
  14. I've been thinking about the Scales grips also. I'm still waiting to see some in person of find pictures of somebody with small hands to see how they work out.
  15. Is it my imagination, or is the site's robots.txt file blocking searching engines from getting anything at all indexed? User-agent: * Disallow: / Last I checked this says to exclude all robots (search engines) from the entire server.
