DenverDave Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) So there are several threads posted on various grips. My question is off all these grips, which one is the most grippy? For me, I have small hands so I need something thin, prefer something to cut down a bit on weight (for my S2 CO). So far what I like best is the grips on the new P-Match. It's like sharp little diamonds that bite into your hand (but do not hurt) For my Glock's, I always add Talon sandpaper grips. I am aware that I can sand down my factory grips and add skateboard tape...but I do not care for the look. Based on this, what would you suggest is the best grip that meets this criteria?

drivenagain Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I am going to LOK for my Limited, but haven't tried them yet. I need thinner grips also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouperMan Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The new LOK Grips are pretty aggressive, thin, and very light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V2plus25 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The PD ones feel really good with the palm swells, but I just can't seem to give up my Hennings. They fit very well and are extremely grippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Smaller hands. Wants a grip tha doesn’t have skateboard tape (or presumably, silicon carbide glued to it for a similar look.)...? Grippy. Thin. High quality. That’s easy. Put Henning grips on it. I wear a size L glove and all my polymer guns were slathered in grip tape. I found no lack of traction with Hennings- they were just too thin for me and my long, skinny fingers.

So what grips do you recommend/use now? I have XL mitts and skeletor fingers, and I’m looking for even larger grips that are still light.

That definitely gave the gun a bigger grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the SSI scales for my hands though: my palms aren’t ginormously wide and meaty, I just have long fingers. The Patriot Palmswells weren’t for me at all. The scales hit the sweet spot for me: right between the Hennings and the fatter wood or PD grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I love the palm swell grips. they were still not grippy enough. I added grip tape to them. Much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonian85 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Henning is a really nice grip, a little smaller than the wood grip and decent grip. Although if you're looking for grip sandpaper on the wood is the best I have found (but yeah, doesn't look great). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanfastic Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 The LOK grips have the most aggressive texture of any of the grips I have (EGD, Henning, PD Palm swell). After switching I had pretty sore fingers after the first week of dry fire with them, had to build up new callouses. They're thin though (which I needed) so you'd want to wait for the forthcoming thicker version if you had large hands. They're also not super-durable since they're made from G10 rather than aluminum, so I don't think they'll last "forever" like the aluminum grips would. But they're also a lot cheaper, so easier to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Descartian Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I have many Extreme Shooters stippled grips, skate taped grips, and a professional Silica Carbide grip job. My favorite by far is the 36 grit SC gip!!! It becomes part of your hand and is immovable. Easily cleanable if it becomes dirty with a little soap, water and a scrub brush. Its a permanent solution so make sure you like that style grip before you commit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Descartian Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Another popular grit texture is 80 grit but it doesn't feel as good to me as the 36 grit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Descartian Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I forgot to add I also have alumagrips and many sets of G10. I still prefer a good SC job. I'm even thinking of SC'ing some 1911 grip panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTaylor Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 anyone got the width of the "thin" lok grips on the gun? I'm running Henning's right now and would like to know how they compare in overall width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running Henning's right now and would like to know how they compare in overall width. They are slightly narrower than the Hennings, that's the exact switch I made. They're not as thin as the Xtreme grips but close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
