robert.a.brewer. Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 CZs have more contour, so they're harder than a 1911Very true. What has gotten lost for me in this checkering process is that it's easier on straight flat surfaces.The first checkering video I found was on a 1911 build. It never felt right using it in this CZ thread. 1911s are straight; real guns have curves, lol. So, I've swung from the simple no-risk add grip tape over the waffle checkering, to seriously considering the intricate, painstakingly laborious filing of sharp aggressive diamond points. It's good I can shoot my TSO while I ponder a grip improvement strategy for my TS. Albeit, this may take several hundred rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy cut every other line resulting in a 10 LPI very aggressive pattern. I see 60 and 90 degree files used for deepening and sharpening. With any kind of steel triangle file , you can deep the waffle pattern of a TS. It 's easy ,if you have some experience on metal working or you can try first on a piece of metal that you do not care like a dumbbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90lxracer Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Bump on this... After shooting a PT EVO gripped gun... My Tac Sport is suckin' on the gripiness department... I like the size.. just not the sharpness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try some Lok Boggies, they are pretty grippy without shredding your skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
