Noah my boy Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I need some fresh commets on the subject. The grip will be going on my Cameron's limited .40. 1st and foremost is the svi worth the extra cash? Is there a noticeable difference between the two grips? Any and all commets welcome?signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I have one of the Signature SVI grips and I think the shape/feel/ergonomics are fantastic on it. The curvature of the back of it is reminiscent of a Tanfoglio/CZ which are also very ergonomic guns. The price may be a bit higher but I would say it is worth it. The only other thing to consider though, is that the SVI grips require SVI MSH's, magwells, mag releases/buttons and trigger bars. I dont find any of that to be a negative because all of the SVI parts are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah my boy Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 That's awesome man thanks. I am leaning towards the SVI aggressive grip just wanted to here it from shooters that have used it. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmo2011 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I have both PT and SVI signature. I agree the ergonomics of the signature grip work better for me also. Consider also that the signature grips come with msh, mag release, trigger bow, and magwell so price difference is negligible. All you really need to add is appropriate grip safety.

hvsmith Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I know both SVI & Ed Brown's memory groove work (I have both), I'm sure others would also work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balakay Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Does the SVI grip come with the Triglide trigger? If not, is it worth ordering at additional cost along with other ignition parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Unless your having an SVI built, go with PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know SVI does sell a signature grip specific grip safety. I'm not sure how those others would work out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Unless your having an SVI built, go with PT. Would like your reasoning behind this.. Sure. I have two PT grips (alum and SS). STI and older SVI mags work without mods. Standard 2011 parts work also. Edited November 2, 2015 by lcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvsmith Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 The SVI grip works with both the new & old SVI mags & STI mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 The SVI grip works with both the new & old SVI mags & STI mags. Good to know. So every current 2011 part works on the SVI grip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvsmith Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I believe I said the different magazines listed work with the SVI grip, only pointing out what I know from experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I just looked at the Infinity website. The grips sold without a gun have numerous conditions. Like.. "If you are using another manufacturers frame we must know at the time of order" I know my PT grips moved from frame to frame without any gunsmith mods.

tyler2you Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) I had a SVI IEE grip installed on a CK Arms Frame. It required a good deal of fitting. I used the Ed Brown BTGS that came with the gun and it fit fine. Edited November 2, 2015 by tyler2you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvsmith Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I've ordered 2 SV Signature grips direct, let them know it was going on an STI frame & they both fit perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctay Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I've ordered 2 SV Signature grips direct, let them know it was going on an STI frame & they both fit perfectly.My experience as well. SVI does the steel grip very well. I have not handled any other - every one I've seen has been a SVI. Additionally, every magazine I've tried works with the SVI grip on my STI gun.

Noah my boy Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 What's the choice of magwell for the SVI grip? Who has tried what ? I think they have three out now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler2you Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I've got both the standard in steel and an XL in aluminum. XL is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I had a PT steel grip and got rid of it. It's too square in the front IMO. I like the SV Ergo grip that I have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalTeacher Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) I just installed a SV signature grip on my Edge. The grip required extensive fitting, but is worth it IMO. I also had to take some material off the rear of the sear legs because the trigger bow in the SV grip was positioned further back and I had no pretravel plus the hammer would fall at half cock. I'd buy one again if I ever do another build because the feel of the gun is remarkably better now.I also have tested a multitude of magazines in this grip and they all work perfectly.As recommended by SV,tell them what brand frame the grip is going on and they'll manufacture the grip accordingly.

arnettcw1 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 SVI Signature grip and XL aluminum magwell is a great combo. Low recoil and fast reloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
