Mike Dame Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Putting something together for SS divsion what grips would you suggest? Will be using an S&A magwell so i'm looking for grip without the bottom bevel and something along the livnes of a stippled 2011 grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter_rob Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I like Ergo grips. Slim, rough texture and great price. I run them on all my SS guns. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strick Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I have a pair of VZ Operatop II's. Great texture and feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterj Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Ergo's for me too. They do come in the S&A profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foilhat Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I had VZ Operator II's first and liked them. I wanted just a little more grip and changed to VZ Recons. I called and had them make a set without the bottom edge beveled. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Check out the Larry Davidson "Monkey Grips", he has a few texture patterns to choose from. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSEMARTIN Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Check out the Larry Davidson "Monkey Grips", he has a few texture patterns to choose from. Rich +1. They are awesome. Wilson Combat makes a grip that is like a sunburst pattern that I felt at IDPA Nationals in '07 that were surprisingly grippy. http://shopwilsoncombat.com/Grips-Full-Size-Black-G10-Starburst-Pattern/productinfo/351AAFS/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I have a pair of VZ Operatop II's. Great texture and feel. That's what I have on my single stack. The frontstrap is checkered 30 LPI. If anyone knows of grips that are even sharper than that, let me know. I don't mind sore hands, and I like holding onto my gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck1 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 If anyone knows of grips that are even sharper than that, let me know. I don't mind sore hands, and I like holding onto my gun. Larry Davidson still offers his "Shredders" they're just not shown on his site... they're probably the most aggressive I've seen (and look pretty trick too), that said, my all-time favorite 1911 grip is skateboard tape over the smooth Alumagrips, for me that's the best thing out there that I've found and is what's going on my new build.

usmc1974 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) I don't worry about the grips, the side pannals are not where you loose your grip anyway. I just have the triggerguard under cut and the frontstrap checkered 20 lpi all the way up to it. I then add a S&A magwell that is checkered 20 lpi to match.

davehorn Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 The Ergo grips are great, especially for $25. Mine required a little bit of fitting. I also like the VZ Aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatekeeper Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I use a Techwell SP with a set of pre-inletted Mil-Tac G10 Diagonal pattern grips Nice, aggressive grip. I love mine http://www.mil-tac.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbean Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I loved my G-10 grips til I tried a set of alumagrips with my tech-well. Alumagrips are the ticket for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSEMARTIN Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I don't worry about the grips, the side pannals are not where you loose your grip anyway. I respectfully disagree with that opinion. Every part of the gun that touches your hand affects your grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb45acp Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hey Sarge, is that a Techwell TGO with yout Ergo grips? How did you mount that? That is exactly the kind of set up I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter_rob Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hey Sarge, is that a Techwell TGO with yout Ergo grips? How did you mount that? That is exactly the kind of set up I'm looking for. No, that is a custom made mag well that my gun smith makes. It is almost as big as the TGO. It attaches with a screw into the mainspring housing and works great. You do have to trim the grips just a little but for the price it is well worth it. His name is Jim Joyce and he can make it from aluminum or delron to keep the weight down.

Every part of the gun that touches your hand affects your grip. You can disagree if you like but, about 80% of the force is from the web of the thumb and the three fingers that wrap around the frontstrap of the gun. Try shooting one with your thumb up, and not useing your fingers wraped around the frontstrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 2 sets of VZ Operator IIs, with the thumb recess notch. helps my smaller hand get to the mag release easier and provides a little recess for an oversized button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbpt1911 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have a set of Duragrips, they are nice and "grippy" and inexpensive. I have used this set up in a match, and worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
