Edge40 Posted September 21, 2016 So who has had the chance to handle the brand new PT Evo grip? How's it feel? I know its brand new but I'm sure there are a few out there already. Is it really that much better than the current PT grip? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EngineerEli Posted September 21, 2016 That looks a LOT like the SVI Signature grip profile... But hey, I'm all about competition, it drives the prices down for us! Any idea what the going price is on those? Does it require special main spring housings, or special grip safeties? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maximis228 Posted September 21, 2016 $650. Comes with matching mainspring housing and grip safety. https://www.facebook.com/PTMFirearms/posts/609907709187318 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge40 Posted September 22, 2016 The grip safety is pinned from the factory too I believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge40 Posted September 22, 2016 And yes it supposedly is a lot like the SV one with improvements. I want it bad but my gun now has the regular PT steel grip and I want my new one to be almost identical. Think I'm going to have to stick with the regular one and not the EVO. Kills me but I want my back up to be almost identical to my primary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They said on facebook that the textured MSH shown with it does not fit a regular PT grip so I guess that part is proprietary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EngineerEli Posted September 23, 2016 Are there different levels of traction for the grip texture, regular medium aggressive, or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echotango Posted September 23, 2016 Only aggressive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will I be bleeding after an hour or two of practice? Will I be able to appreciate/tolerate them if I only have about medium toughness hands? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anilson Posted September 23, 2016 Here is a vid about grip texture. The EVO is pretty much the same as the older pt style aggressive. The PT is less sharp then the SVI grips. We used to sell 50/50 smooth/aggressive now is 95% aggressive. Gina and I both shoot PT aggressive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teros135 Posted September 24, 2016 I got mine this week. Comes with MSH (which is also aggressive textured) and a really nice grip safety/beavertail that is essentially "pinned" in the firing position (like the pics above). It doesn't have the leg that blocks the sear (since most of us pin it anyway). You can get your hand waaaay up the grip with this beavertail and the undercut trigger guard. It takes the Dawson magwells such as ICE, Dawson mag release, and can us the STI trigger, although it has a bit of wiggle. Not a problem, so far. It's aggressive texture isn't bad after a session of dry fire and a session at the range, and I'm not noticing the texture much. It adds about 11 oz the the weight of the gun, like the other steel grips, and moves the gun's balance point to the rear part of the trigger guard. The feel is great, for my large hands (glove size XL) and average-length fingers. For those that haven't used steel grips before, it softens the recoil impulse and reduces muzzle rise. I'm not all that strong, but I don't notice the weight all that much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its either 2 or none and one would be for a new gun and the other for one already with a PT classic grip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echotango Posted October 2, 2016 Same here. 1 for current gun and for the one being built. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teros135 Posted October 14, 2016 About to buy a second one... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aircooled6racer Posted October 14, 2016 Hello: It would be great if you could buy a frame along with this grips. Looking at two new open pistols to build for next year but can't order 10 frames. Oh well I guess I will keep looking at all the options. Thanks, Eric Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottieShootz Posted October 15, 2016 For those of you running metal grips, do you run an aluminum magwell or a stainless for more weight? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
