tha1000 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 The LOK are aggressive. They're as grippy as vz db's imo, could just be that I have a lot more contact with the lok's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHicks8h Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 ^^^^^^^^ The LOKs have just as much bite as the VZ DBs as THA1000 states above. I just had Jayson run a set of the CZ grips in the "roughneck" pattern which he offers in 1911 grips as a very aggressive texture. I have not shot them yet, but they have a lot of bite. They have many tiny pyramids holding your hand instead of the boogies where the holes actually absorb the meat from your hand. I will try to compare the roughnecks to the DBs as well. So far all of the reports I heard on the boogie texturing has been good. Some people have actually knocked down some sharp edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASE772 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) I had VZ Dimondbacks on my 1911's. I really can't see the need for more aggressive grip than the LOK's already have. IMO it's more about the shooters grip on the gun. I grip like a vise and the LOK's aren't moving anywhere. Edited May 19, 2016 by BASE772 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I just put a set of LOK Bogie's on a new to me Pre-B. They are by far the most aggressive, grippy grips I have tried. I can see lots more of them in my future. They lock the gun to your hand and I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpacker Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlpressley Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Just ordered a set of the palm swell grips with the full relief cut. I have pretty large hands so I will be interested to see how well they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFin04 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hi guys, I poked through this thread but with so many pages it's hard to keep it clear. I'm looking for current production grips that are the same size/shape as the factory rubber grips with more aggressive texture. If they are slightly larger that is fine too. I tried the flat aluminum grips and I can't hold on to the gun. The factory grips feel great, but are slippery with sweat. Thanks for your help.

dogtired Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I stumbled across the Lok Brip Bogie with the palm swell and bought a pair. I just installed them on my Witness. Usually the Witness grips are slightly off from the CZ and that is true in this case, you can see a touch of daylight on the front edge. But they are hard and do not flex like the factory CZ plastic grips. I will have to get a second pair for my SP01. Hopefully they will add some other color options in the future to add some snazz but the basic black always works... I will vouch for the other posters, these have a great feel and are very grippy. They add a much needed fullness around the middle for big hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see if LOK would be willing to entertain this and adjust the locking plate on the back for the Witness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGus Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I ordered a set of LOK Grips Roughneck pattern with full thumb relief from PSS (www.practicalshootingsports.com). Jeff Hicks of PSS had loaned me a set of the Bogey pattern that I shot on the range and really liked them, but after shooting a local match today with the Roughnecks I slightly prefer them over the Bogie pattern. Both have the same palm swell for a superior grip, but my preference is for the Roughneck pattern. I've taken some close up pics so you can see the palm swell and the pattern.

vixty Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I need to take some material off the top of the LOK grips to help with my grip. Is it ok to sand these grips a little with a file or something. I just need to take some thickness off the top parts of the grips under the safeties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I would say yes. It is G10 which is machinable or sandable (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to take some thickness off the top parts of the grips under the safeties. I took a very delicate file to the top of mine to knock down some of the sharp edges. This was only with the Bogies. With the roughneck pattern I did not feel like I needed to remove anything and have not noticed any sharp annoying places. You will have no issues with the file or sandpaper. It may not take much so just try not to remove too much. I also removed material from 1911 grips in the past as well made of the same material.

It's fine to remove some material, be wary it can ruin files etc (G10 is kinda nasty) and once you are done if you want to get rid of the hazy color it can leave, rub some silicone/wd40 over the area and it will make it black and dark again.

MrTuna Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Any estimate on what they'll retail for?I honestly have not discussed price with him yet. I know to get this thickness required a different thickness of G10. I will inquire on pricing as Jayson will set that. I should've read this thread before buying my blue aluminum grips. I had no idea that they wouldn't have a palmswell. Way too thin for my big paws. I will be ordering the Lok grips you helped develop.

bowenbuilt Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 With all the great grips LOK is making the triangular Shadow cut grips would also be a big seller. I wonder if that is also in the works? I would replace every set of aluminum grips I have with a set of Bogies if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted Jayson @ LOK Grips and he is going to make a run of the CZ metal triangle style grips in the popular G10 material. It will be about 1-2 months before they go into production and I will be posting these once they are completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vixty Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Quick question. My lok grips move when I grip the gun. I used the washers that were provided when installing. Is there a secret to keep them from shifting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
