johnbu Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Ordered up some orange/black grips. Hot sweaty summer had made a steady hold a bit more challenging lately. Picture of just the frame with grips for reference and gun in match mode. They are slightly thinner than the Henning grips and slightly thicker than the Extreme grips. And they have more traction than either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouperMan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Welcome to the world of LOK Grips! These grips are awesome and feel good in the hand for me! I have a friend who got some leather strips from a arts and craft store to shim them up because they felt a little too thin, but now I hear LOK grips can do a slightly thicker version if you put it in the comments when checking out.

Stuey Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Are they the palm swell version or the Thin Boogies? Also any possible way you can measure how thin they are? Interested in Lok Grips.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTaylor Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 They are slim. Lok told me recently palm swells are coming “soon”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHAVEGAS Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 How are they doing as far as staying tight? With them being non-compressible it is not a match made in heaven for the Tanfo 1 screw attachment design. Maybe not an issue or maybe washers or a rubber spacer or lok tite or something works? I really like their grips but it bugs me when there is any movement between grip and frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billthemarine2862 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Those look nice! They are certainly a more aggressive pattern! You obviously need to toughen up your hands more to handle all that grippiness.. I hear baseball players have been known to whiz on their hands to toughen them. You should try that and tell us how it works.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up getting the EGD Extreme screws because the Henning screws did not feel long enough and kept walking out. i didn’t need to use the o-rings.

B21 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Thought about giving these a go just because. Curious how they feel compared to the Scale 2.0's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The O-rings just were the size of the screw. 3 hours ago, Stuey said: Which do you like better, Hennong or LOK? Those LOK look nice and grippy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I prefer the wider aspect of the henning grips but vastly prefer the traction of the LOK . Actually, if the Patriot Palm Swells had the LOK texture, that would be ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were working on an aluminum palm swell, but haven't heard about that in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliYeti Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I thought my Tanfo's hennings were the best thing I've felt until I put LOK's on my Shadow 2. By far the best grip. If they ever do come out with Palm Swell Boogies it would be the best of bolth worlds for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
