B21 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Anyone know the difference between the Unica Custom size LF grips, and the full size LF grips? I think I own every set of grip options minus the Hennings, and I keep going back to the stock wood grips. I'd like something thick, with a bit more texture. I'd hate to drop another $100 bucks on a set of grips that collect dust. https://patriotdefense.com/unica-tanfoglio-unica-grip-custom-size-lf/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aales1 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Unica grips are thin. Basicly same as new tanfoglio alu grips (not extreme) but with a bit more bling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goshimu Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Just went from EGD grips which are very similar to unica now to palm swell lok bogies as I have big hands / long fingers and am very happy with how they fill the hand. Makes the gun feel more like a 2011 in width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get a set and mold, file/grind to your preference sizrite and shape then coat with carbide grit. Most grips will be thinner than the wood factory grips and if you want thick, that may be your best path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apolo Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Custom size is what Patriot Defense labels the shorter grips for mag well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B21 Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Thanks for the replies guys. I might give the LOK palm swell grips a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after having Henning, Unica, LOK thin and Scales 2.0 myself, I've also settled on the LOK Palm Swells for now. Although if Henning does another run of his fully checkered ones I might give them a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaserracer Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 @B21 If you are interested, I have 2 pairs of custom thickness LOK grips that are molded after the thickness of the Tanfoglio Stock 2 factory wood grips. One set is new never installed and one set is lightly used; one set is fully checkered pattern and one is bogies pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B21 Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 @chaserracer I ordered a set of Palm Swells yesterday. If they don't work out for me and you still happen to have the custom LOk's I'll hit you up, appreciate the offer though. I need to off load a bunch of grips myself ha!

tdp88 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Anybody know how the Unica checkering compares to the Henning or LOK checkering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unica checkering is tame at best. They are slightly rougher than the EGD extreme grips, not as grippy as the Henning grips and no where near the texture of the LOK bogie or checkered pattern grips. In my opinion the checkering was inconsistent and there were too many smooth areas on the grips for my preference. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
