Brian Enos's Forums... Maku mozo!

8 ball handle mod


Recommended Posts

a guy on www.glocktalk.com forums in the reloading section named ANEAT sells them 15 bucks shipped if anyone is interested they feel great

Yeah he made me a couple a year or so ago.

Adam is a member here also, but I need to point out that our rules don't allow buying and selling on the forum.

No problem Flex, I dont make a killing on them, the guys that want one can usually figure out how to get a hold of me :blink: usually :lol:

Kind of a grey area, I never felt comfortable placing a "classified" and I really dont make enough/sell enough to become a vendor.

I always wondered if someone like Brian would be interested in selling them in their store

You could always absolve yourself by showing us the steps/tools you use to make one ourselves! I'm guessing you should drill out the hole large enough to epoxy in a nut that fits on the dillon handle.

I put a sock over my handle to keep from getting blisters and works like a champ. It would ruin the point of having a cool cue ball...unless the larger size does make a difference which it probably would since I have large hands. But then I'd have to find a set of cue balls at a pawn shop or yard sale which equals time and money.

No Grief, I dont make a big deal out of providing them, If a guy wants one I usually have a few on hand.

Actually I just drill, cosink, and tap 5/8-18

37/64 drill bit is required and a 5/8-18 tap of course.

If you have a Lee press its just a matter of drilling a hole and gluing it in place.

You could actually do that on any of them (just drill and glue) if you didnt mind a permanant instalation.

When I first did it it was more because I thought it looked cool but the improved comfort is definitly worth it

It helps to have a good way to hold it in place, and drill/tap without damaging the finish

I ordered my press with the Al roller handle, so I've never even tried with a ball handle. Wouldn't the ball rub on your hand and cause blisters? I've read (not just in this thread) about people suggesting to put a sock over the ball to ease the friction.

Ive heard of folks using a sock as well. Personally I dont grip on the handle too much, I just push on it. Ive never had a problem with getting a blister.

For me the extra diameter on the ball spreads out the load to a larger portion of the hand.

Ive tried the roller handle and didnt really care for it (on a 550) but I understand everyone is different. When I tried the roller handle I found myself putting my hand on the bend and pushing down with my open hand (not gripping it)

This is just another option
