Underwhere Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I've been searching for grip weights for my Lim Pro but am not finding much around the weight limit for IDPA (43 ounces) I'm looking for the thinnest grips I can find. Does anyone know whether the Scales 1.0 or EGD grips keep the gun under 43 ounces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElMateo487 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Yes. With stock base pads and scales 2.0 grips, you will make weight. I did this dance. And those are the only aftermarket grips that will make weight. Edit: I should add. They are the only grips that will make weight by like 0.1 oz with Henning aluminum base pads. The Henning grips and stock base pads should make weight, I can verify if you want. But if you want aftermarket base pads, the only option is the scales 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeOfToren Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I cast plastic grips mold using EGD as original. 80D hardness, very solid. Then I put on putty to add just a bit palm swell. Finally apply grip tape on the surface. This makes the thinnest possible yet extremely grippy panels, fitted to my palm. My LimPro is 42.3oz weighted in both state and national.

I believe the Scales make the gun a bit wider than the EGW right? If you happen to have the Henning grips handy that would be great if you could verify. I'm trying to avoid purchasing and returning multiple grips. Also: Do you know if there's a weight difference between the 2.0 and 1.0 Scales?

V2plus25 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Total stock Lim Pro in .40 with the scale 2.0 grips and shockbottle basepad on the mag. Will most likely save some weight when I swap out the ambi safety for the witness single side one in order to ensure it fits in the IDPA box. Who knows what'll happen to the weight once I put PD springs and BOLO and Xtreme sear in, but I'm hoping it'll stay at or below the current weight.

V2plus25 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 The only question is will the beavertail keep it from fitting in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V2plus25 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Is the EAA one piece sear the one that comes standard on the lim pro? Otherwise guess I've gotta order it from PD when their new firing pin comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Yes. Any gun that isn't part of the "Xtreme" line and which comes with a one piece sear will be fitted with the one that you want.

V2plus25 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Ok thanks! I'll polish the sear and the cage that are already in there in addition to all the other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 The sear isn't hardened beyond its surface. So don't polish the bejeezus out of it, or it will wear excessively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henning grips + henning basepad = overweightScales 2.0 + Henning basepad = 1/10 of an oz under weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwhere Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Here is my lim pro with scales 2.0Henning trigger and Titan hammer and BOLO. Henning guide rod and a Dawson front sight. I beveled the magwell so there is some material removed. May be a reason why I'm 1/2 ounce under weight. (maybe not) 42.47 ounces with the factory mag.

MemphisMechanic Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Don't tell your IDPA guys that you reshaped your magwell. You will be ostrascized from the Tactical Plumber community. Been there, done that, for similar tweaks. They probably won't check the rule book before 'knowing' it's illegal.

B_RAD Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Took these tonight after getting my scales 2.0. However, I like thicker grips so these will be for sale. But they make weight. The grips alone (no screws) weigh 34 g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
