Aggieddad02 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I recently picked up a new 9mm CRP Trojan from Dawson that they had hard chromed and did a Dawson tuning job on. Now it needs some slim grips that will accent the pistol, and make weight foe SS any suggestions? And yes I have done a forum search and a Google search to no avail .

OptimiStick Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Can’t help you there. But I am curious, how far over weight limit is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silverscooby27 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Plastic and wood are the lightest. Magpul makes some plastic grips, and some people trying to make weight will get smooth wood grips that are cheap and cover them with grip tape. G10 and metal (even aluminum) and even carbon fiber of any thickness tend to be heavier. None of these solutions look good. I’ve got a lot of single stack grips in my basement that are all no good for one reason or another. Best to try not to make that mistake, it gets costly. Hope that is helpful.

Postal Bob Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 VZ grips https://vzgrips.com , I have the Operators II on my Trojan. They do sell slim style grips, but I find that they leave a gap between my hand and the gun. I have a small hand, so a normal grip feels better. Though it does just make weight, I used an aluminum guide rod for matches. Also, does it have a steel, or aluminum mainspring housing? If steel, you can shave weight using the aluminum.

CUTiger Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 My 9mm Trojan makes weight for IDPA (43 oz.) with a full length guide rod, Dawson Ice magwell, and VZ operators. VZ will hollow out the back of their grips for a little extra coin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jpm2953 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I have VZ recons on mine(not thin) and I make weight fine. ICE Magwell , GI guide rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jschweg Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 My 9mm Trogan makes weight just fine with VZ's, Tripp mags with the Dawson Aluminum Basepads, and the ICE magwell. Still using the factory FLGR.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tha1000 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Grips are a personal preference, I really like the vz simonich gunner grips. My .40 Trojan made weight easy. Edited August 14, 2019 by tha1000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pjb45 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Try Brownells. They show the thickness and weight--or they did. I have a tungsten guide rod and Hogue palm swell grips and make weight on my SV but I run an aluminum mag well. Also I purchased a slim set, ground off the checkering, and use skate tap after I channelled the left grip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
