New grip inserts experiment


Frigpig

Recommended Posts

I have very large hands and find the grip weld to my open pistol to be lacking.

The first prototype I made was for my practice BB pistol. I'm not cutting up my real Tanfo yet.

I will be getting these checkered in a few days and I'll let you know how they turn out.

I now have almost 100% palm contact even on my week hand.

Did you know that with a bit of modification those grips on your airsoft gun will fit your real gun. I have done it :D

That is the plan. I'm still having trouble getting them checkered as of now.

If you are using a checkering file on Aluminum you are going to have a tough time of it. It is very hard to keep the cuts consistent since the material is so soft.

If you are using a mill for the checkering then probably the only issue I can see is holding the workpiece. When I modified my airsoft ones to fit my real gun that was the problem, trying to keep the workpiece in the vise with the angled edges of the grip panels.
