superlifer03 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Simonich Gunner Grips are for folks who have like the super aggressive grip. I have them on all my 1911s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polymerfeelsweirdman Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I was looking at kensight sharkskin grips, are they any good? Reviews make them sound extremely aggressive in roughness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjones Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I was looking at kensight sharkskin grips, are they any good? Reviews make them sound extremely aggressive in roughness I just put a set of these on one of my 1911s. Really happy with the grips. Good aggressive grip at an awesome price point.

js1130146 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I also have the Sharkskins. Great grip in the hot and humid Missouri summer, regardless of how sweaty my hands get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R34PER Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'm interested in trying the 36 grit silicon carbide after doing some reading. Is it possible to build it up to get more texture? I'm also curious if there metal grips out there that are like svi 2011 grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewtac Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 How much texture are you looking for? 36 grit is extremely aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norther Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I've tried the Gunner grips. My current favorite is the VZ Diamondbacks. More aggressive. Maybe I just wore the Gunner grips smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 How much texture are you looking for? 36 grit is extremely aggressive. I used the Silicon carbide that comes in a pack from harbor freight i think it might be 36 grit. very aggressive and I like it a lot. I think I will attempt to duplicate what I have on my open and limited gun on a set of Perman grips to match once I get a single stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons1911 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I really like the Riots by Derwood MFG. Taylor is the man there and he does a great job on G10 grips. I have several sets from them. I am unable to load a pic for some reason, but check out his website... www.derwoodmfg.com I'm betting nothing is as grippy as 36 Grit! But a training buddy of mine said of my first pair of Riots, 'you can hang on to that with a bloody hand'. Perhaps a bit over the top, like my friend, but you get his point!

R34PER Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Thanks for all the great input! Is JB Weld sufficient for applying grit? Also, where can you pick up silicon carbide? I have a tractor supply, harbor freight, lowes, etc around me, but none have them listed it on their websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Harbor Freight. I had to search for it at the store, it comes in a small red box that says thumlers tumbler. its inside what they call a tumbler pack. it is the one labeled coarse. The small bag has more than enough to do more than one grip. original Jb weld is what I used. http://www.harborfreight.com/rock-polishing-abrasives-30956.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R34PER Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Well I coated my grips with that course grit from harbor freight and jb weld. Waiting to see how these turn out. I used the Magpul grips that are only $19.99 so not a big deal if they don't turn out. If it does work out I have a P320 frame and tanfo grips taped up ready for the same treatment.

R34PER Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 It certainly came out very aggressive. I haven't gotten to the range yet to see if that translates into a more solid grip when shooting. I think it look's pretty baller and it feels like I'm holding onto a rock instead of plastic. I made to keep the scoop. Here are some images of the final result: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3tech Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I've been using a set of Kensight Sharkskin grips on my single stack STI, Reasonably priced and nice grip too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickbfishn Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) I found a guy named james stehlin who makes grips and I ordered a set of the razor cut g10's for my 1911. They are extremely grippy and I feel like they could actually cut me (not really). But they are like glue to my palms!

dogtired Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 On my Rock Island I did not want to drop $80 on a $400 gun so I filled the plastic grips with 5 min epoxy and when cured applied skateboard tape. Very grippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wav3rhythm Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I got a set of plastic magpul grips and stippled them for 10 bucks. Cheap, ugly and clingy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does work out I have a P320 frame and tanfo grips taped up ready for the same treatment.36 grit is definitely the most aggressive texturing that I have tried, and strangely it's also more comfortable than the very aggressive stippling. If the 36 is a little much for some people then I have been using a 46/70 grit mix with good results. I have done close to 100 P320s now.

rolen1517 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 If you own and shoot a 2011 and a 1911 pistol you should really try a dsperman grip and skate tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
