I can't even imagine a more aggressive texture. I used silicon carbide with 80 grit on my STIs and that's plenty for me.

Gooldylocks Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I have played with the regular micropockets and think they are completely silly. They are so smooth they don't do anything at all for me, gripping as hard as I do when I'm shooting they still feel slick. If I got a metal grip it would be aggressive, no question at all. In my opinion the only reason to get a regular texture grip would be because you like the way it looks more than the smooth ones. And I have tender little scientist hands.

Gooldylocks Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Wow!I don't see how anyone could say otherwise, based on all the ones I have felt. They honestly felt just as slick as grip without texture on it, like a Gen 3 glock frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 i agree that the standard micropocket doesnt offer much grip. I have one and wish I had something else. If 600 bucks grew on a tree outside I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain't no Chris Tilley....he's not regular folk. I shot locals and NC sectional with Chris last year and he does not run the aggressive grip on his guns.

MissionaryMike Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Just now, 3gunDQ said: I shot locals with Chris sevral times last year and does not run the aggressive grip on his guns. You're right. Casey at SVI says he runs the tape or tactical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 These are the reactions I was referring to earlier. The micropockets dont seem to offer much other than cosmetics just by looking at them, Looks very smooth. But again you have some (72Stick) who swear they are as rough as a coral bed and wouldnt want anything more aggressive..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gunDQ Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) The tactical grip is where its at... the aggressive is too damn much. trust me... Edited January 18, 2017 by 3gunDQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissionaryMike Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I think no matter what each person's preference is, we should all be grateful for the variety of grips available to the shooter. It's obvious that each of us has a personal preference and/or a certain tolerance to the aggressive milling. Heck, some people don't even like metal grips at all.

BeerBaron Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 For the $$ you are spending get them to send you a sample aggressive and tactical so you can cop a feel. It's the only way to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim vaughan Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I had the aggressive option on an SVI steel grip and didn't like it. Bead blasted it down in stages and still didn't like it. It went from too sharp to too slippery very quickly. The problem seems to be the large surface areas between the spikes. They are very very slippery. I am now going to fill the pockets with 60 grit silicon carbide. This is after much experimentation with grip tape stuck on top of the spikes. Overall I find that the best choice for me is where I am able to correct my grip after the draw - the original spikes prevent that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I played around with my new bedazled open gun last night with a PT Evo grip and their aggressive must not be nearly as sharp as Infinity's. I thought it was well textured but wasnt painful at all. And I have desk hands. I dryfired (more like walked around my house with it in my hands and pointed at things) last night for at least 2 hours and my little girly hands are still typing this with no pain or cuts this morning. I practiced Draws and some reloads and thought it was a good amount of grip but cant be nearly as aggressive as SV because it wasnt uncomfortable at all. Also the "needles" are shallower near the top than the bottom. Where your thumb and index finger would come across the grip is not as aggressive as where the meat of your hand would sit. So long story short tell infinity to use an Evo grip lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427Cobra Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) When I ordered mine the week b4 the elections I initially wanted the Super Duper Aggressive Texture Micro Pocket grip, but Casey talked me out of it Edited February 1, 2017 by 427Cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingchef Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I work in a kitchen and have "manly" hands and still found the aggressive to be more than I can handle. I like the micropockets on my open gun and use the skateboard tape on my carry gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 On 1/17/2017 at 2:32 PM, MissionaryMike said: I have a pistol on order from SVI that is being built exclusively for USPSA Limited. I ordered it w/ the tactical micropockets, which is their medium texture. I just didn't want to go to aggressive right off the bat. I'm not sure why, but I'm having a little remorse and wondering if I should have gone w/ the aggressive texture. Will the tactical texture offer enough grip during those sweaty summer months in the mid-atlantic/northeast, or should I pay the $100 and change it to the cheese graters? Mike. Brandon sent me 3 grips to try out before I settled on one. Micro pocket, tactical and the aggressive. I went with the tactical grip. The aggressive grip was very aggressive to the point of it feeling like points of nails sticking you. I guess some people get used to it. And there's no point in getting it if you sand them down. If you haven't felt the tactical it is pretty aggressive itself. Almost equal to other brands aggressive grips. I think you'll be happy with the tactical. If you are that undecided call Casey or Brandon and ask them to send you the sample grips for you to try. Tiffany had them to me in 2 days after talking with her and confirming my address. The tactical is more than enough aggressive. You must be getting close cause I am almost 8 months in and I know you couple months in front of me.

MissionaryMike Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'm pretty sure that remaining with the original decision of the tactical micropockets is gtg. However, I did go ahead and call Infinity to request some grip samples. I've already received a FEDEX shipment notification. I want to be absolutely sure.

hotrodder Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I have 2 infinity aggressive signature grips. One of them had the sharp points slightly knocked down with an emery finger nail board in only a few areas by the previous owner. It is still quite sharp but not like the original on my other pistol. If you go with the aggressive you could always tone it down a bit. I prefer the original aggressive personally. However I have had to clean blood off of it after extended draws and dry fire practice. Once you handle the samples for a while you will know what is right for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I think you've read enough here to know, you will be bleeding with much dry fire. The last think you need to add to your training regimen is any kind of hesitation when getting a grip on the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
