    Please do! I'm getting mine on a few days as well and will report in.

     

     

    So are these grips thicker than the wooden ones? I've heard great things about LOK from CZ75 owners, I'm really excited about getting them now! Please let us know how they fit! Did you get the Aequitas/Veritas inscription?

    Yes they are thicker than the wood ones. The standard are the same size as the wood grips and the thin are thinner than the wood grips. I wanted the standards but are not available and the thin are to small for my hands. I hope the palm swells are not to big.

    I got the thin G10 bogies in black with gray liners. Hoping that large/long is the right size for this pistol. What did you get?

    I ordered the Standards with the Aequitas Veritas cross yestarday but today they contacted me and told me they couldn't make it. So I cancelled the ordered. I am looking at their other grips but it looks like my only choice is the palm swell. I don't like how the thin grip fits my hand. So I am not sure what I am going to do yet.

    How goes it? Did you get it smoothed out?


    Installed the Dawson sights, they look great. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll see if I can't get it zeroed at the next range trip. Thinking about 25 yards zero for HD/SD/Woods since 10mm trajectory tends to be flat. What say y'all?

    I took the gun completely apart and sanded some areas and took the time to polished the internals. The slide cycles smooth now and magazine is dropping freely most of the times, still need some work. Fired 200 rounds and had 1 failure to feed with PPU 170g fmj. That's where I am standing right now. Still looking for grips for it but no luck yet. No one have them.

    I bought 200 rounds today, also got some sandpaper and smooth and polished some internal parts. The slide is running better now. The magazine is what's getting to me, I didn't have that problem before. I didn't talk to the gunsmith because he wasn't there when I picked the gun, the gun had a note in the box mentioning it was tight but even the guy behind the counter couldn't rack the slide. 

     

    I will shoot it more tomorrow and see how it goes!

    After fighting with it for 30 min I got it to rack but it wasn't going into battery. More fighting and it got a bit better so I went out back to my range and fired a few rounds. Is running better but the magazine still hard to get out of the pistol. 

    Here is a quick videos

    Not good news! I just picked up the gun from cerakote and is not looking good.

    the cerakote on the frame is so thick the slide is almost impossible to rack, there are runs on some areas. The magazine went it and now it won't come out. The markings on the frame are gone except the serial number.

    I hope I have some 10mm ammo around to fire a few rounds to see if is going to run.

    That's awesome! If you can, please post pics when completed.

     

    Question about the Dawson front sights, which ones did you use?

     

    Put 140 rounds through mine today. I had 4 FTF with PPU PPH10F FPJ  10mm with the flat nose. 40 rounds of gummy tip 10mm Critical Duty by Hornady 175 gr went through without a hitch.  It was shooting low at 20 yards but groups were tight!

     

    Shot it with a Hennings brass shock buffer washer in . It has a couple of notches cut out from today's exertions. Not sure if the FTF might have been caused by it. Hennings says the shock buffer can make the gun less reliable.

     

    Great shooter. Just need it for Bears, Mountain Lions and miscreants when hiking and it definitely fits the bill nicely for its intended purpose.

     

    LOK says they will be possibly doing Large Frame, Long grip Witness bogie grips in G10 this month. Let's hope they do, and let them know you would like this.

     

    Cheers and blessings to all.

    I used the Dawson .165 x .090 front sight but I had to raised the rear all the way up to get it to zero. I think the .140 would work better.

    The guy in the video mentioned with the 180gr it was shooting low and in Spartacus post it looks low as well. Did you find any diff between the 180 and 170gr?

    Mine was shooting low as well I swapped the front sight with a .165 x .090 fiber optic sight and adjusted the rear sight until zeroing the gun at 25 yrds. Now is dead on.
