xjwalt666 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I know I have seen posts both here and on facebook about with some talk on this but what is everyone's take on an Aluminum grip on an open minor gun? I generally run around 6.2gr of hs6 with a 124 at 1.165. Velocity is around 1250fps or so. I've seen some people say that the aluminum grips crack at major pf but was wondering if they would be fine on a minor gun.

I run one on my limited gun and it's been fine for about 6k rounds now. Looking for another currently. Open is a different beast I guess Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjwalt666 Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 I currently use an evo but need to go to something less aggressive do to issues with my hands. I was looking at the Cheely aluminum grip. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aforum55 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I have both Aluminum and Steel grips. The Aluminum is a Gen 1 from PT I have maybe 10k minor loads through gun and it's been fine. The steel outlaw grip (very similar to the Evo) sold by Line Star innovations comes in Steel and Aluminum and is a great option. Give Glenn at Lonestar a call to discuss. Best part is, the grip will come ready fit for your gun once you provide the dimensions. Leadtimes are ~2weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggieddad02 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Glenn Rasch with Lone Star Innovations has an aluminum grip with micro pockets that is comfortable without being overly aggressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjwalt666 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Thanks all. I ended up ordering an aluminum e2 from Cheely. Should have it monday and try it out tuesday. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aforum55 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 @Aggieddad02 I got auto corrected, but I meant to type Lone star. I have a couple of his outlaw grips. The undercut is like no other grip and sets it apart from all the other great options available.. just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjwalt666 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Well I got my Cheely e2 aluminum grip in today. Took a bit more fitting than my Evo did when I got it but i got it on and fit pretty well. Here is the result.

xjwalt666 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Awesome grip right there!It definitely is an awesome grip. Might have it bead blasted to knock down the edges tho. I went from the evo to this in hopes that it was less aggressive and its noticeably more aggressive. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 For some reason the Al grip feels more aggressive than the SS grip. Stick it in a vibratory cleaner with walnut media or glass bead blast it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawTime Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I have a cheeky e2 aluminum being put on my open blaster build rn. Hopefully she can handle the force of awesome major. Keep us updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncie21 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 While not an open gun, here's a pic of a PT aluminum grip on my limited gun. Grip is dirty as I shot it in a match last weekend and haven't gotten around to cleaning it. Here's a pic of trying to fit the same grip on to a STI frame manufactured several years earlier than the DVC above. I would have had to remove quite a bit of material from either the frame or grip to make it fit. At this point I decided to try it on another gun rather than bust out the file/dremel.

Actually it's from race style holster that retains the pistol by the trigger guard. Edited August 15, 2019 by muncie21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
