HOGRIDER Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 My Son inquired as to when the new Gen2, factory stock grip would be available for his new Staccato-P that came with the Costa/tree bark grip......received email from factory that they were still in "production" and he would send him one as soon as they were available. Pignato stated recently they decided to make some changes/updates after the feedback they received from SHOT Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownells description of the older Gen1 grip: https://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/grip-parts/grips/2011-modular-grips-prod24672.aspx Lightweight, one-piece, fiber-reinforced nylon composite grip assembly provides a drop-in fit on all STI 2011 modular frames. Keeps overall pistol weight to an absolute minimum. Checkering on the side panels, front strap, and triggerguard ensures a positive gripping surface when hands get sweaty.

I liked them but then I'm not one who wants to feel like I'm holding a cheese grater. It will be interesting to see teh changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfitz427 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I like the look of the new one in the DVC open. I just bought one of the extreme shooters DVC grip to put on my open gun. I thought it looked much better then the regular polymer grip. Idk why sti doesn’t develop their own metal grip. Could have used the same design as this new one, just metal. They did it in the past, although they had problems with them cracking prematurely. But if all these other companies can do it, and everyone is ditching the stock plastic grip for metal they might as well listen to the market. Plastic grips are out, except for people like me who don’t have 600 bucks to spend on a grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to try a one in aluminum or better yet titanium but thats crazy money. Don't think I have got to the point of out shooting the plastic grips.

tha1000 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 STI has built their entire marketing campaign on "polymer absorbing recoil better than metal", so I wouldn't expect them to revisit the metal grips any time soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisemenofgotham Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) I believe the Gen 2 grips are still a few weeks ago. Edited February 18, 2019 by Wisemenofgotham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilrb Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I would like to put the Metal on mine I like the weight. Hard to justify to me I had rather wait and order one built the way I want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGRIDER Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 My Staccato P is shipping tomorrow with the Costa/ Tree Bark grip. If I change it anytime soon, it will be for the DVC grip. But I'll spend some time with the Costa before jumping to anything else. Supposed to ship the stock grip when they're available; but I'm not expecting to swap it anytime soon!

mikbay Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) So I'm confused here. The new Staccatos are being shipped with the old style stippled grip. I saw posts elsewhere that this is a $200 upgrade which doesn't make sense unless the new Gen II grip was less expensive. There are guns out there with the new style so I'm guessing they are available. Was there bad feedback on these? Is STI going to send you a new Gen II to replace your Costa/Tree Bark without charge? Thanks folks and sorry if this is confusing. I'm trying to understand what is occurring. I thought the Gen II grips would be different from my current ones and I wanted them. Mistake? What's STI doing here? Edited March 30, 2019 by mikbay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
