Drbruce Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Looking for opinions on 2011 steel grips. limcat, pheonix, etc. What have you used and liked? Also was it a straight replacement or did it require a lot of fitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also was it a straight replacement or did it require a lot of fitting? Check out the grip that lonestar innovations is making. The ergonomics are incredible, it has the right type of grip and is designed in Texas and made from 17-4 stainless. I think it is the best grip on the market. Glenn will help make sure that the fitting is as easy as possible. Edited September 10, 2019 by GringoBandito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpulled Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I like the evo but I’ve heard some talk lately from gun builders that the lsi grip is the best one out. I haven’t seen one yet. Evo was/is a great product. Cheely is good too but requires a cheely proprietary magwell which a deal breaker for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike4045 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 LSI on mine. Better than the other I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWprotected Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I have used the Classic PT grips, the EVO, and the Cheely E2 all in aggressive texture. Personally I find the best fit for my hands to be the EVO. The Cheely grip is nice and comes with the magwell and mag release, but it is a little smaller and I don't feel like I grip it as well as the EVO. Fitting will vary based on your frame, I have had to spend quite a bit of time fitting all of them I have installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assaultthesalt Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 LSI Outlaw SS Grip...Glenn is making them with custom dimensions to fit different frames aswell. Lonestar Innovations dot com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLethal Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I just had a chance to put hands on the LSI outlaw grip and I was very impressed. The double undercut is a nice addition and the quality was top notch. The PT Evo is a great way to go as well. Super grippy and quality is excellent. The price difference isn’t huge but if I were looking to save a few bucks I’d go LSI based on how it felt to me and looked.

Drbruce Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 Thanks for all the replies. For those that replaced their plastic grip with steel was it basically a simple swap or was much fitting involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic below shows initial trial for installing a PT grip on what was my normal limited pistol. After checking some measurements it was clear that I would need to remove material from either the grip or the frame. I wasn't happy about either option, so I tried installing the grip on another 2011 that I had intended to sell. Guess what...it fit like a glove, no filing needed..

gnoyesiv Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I have only used the PT Evo, it didn't fit one frame without some fitting, but went right onto another with no problems. I really like the feel of the evo in my hand. great product, but again the only one I have tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauza45 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I started with the EVO grip, but I have switched to the Cheely E2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a limcat I am having redone and am adding their steel grip to it. Unless it is so it fits like a glove think I will talk to lonestar for my DVC 3 gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLethal Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The PT grip that I had on my edge dropped right on with no fitting whatsoever and it was an STI frame. That being said, I had a couple of friends with STI frames also and they required a bit of work to get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clw42 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I have the Cheely E2. The PT was a tad too big for me to be able to reach the mag release without changing my grip. I've heard that ergonomically speaking the LSI is fantastic, but I can't seem to find one locally to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHooter Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) I just had the PT evo installed on my Edge. A world of difference from the stock STI plastic grip. As a side note I’m having Dan Bedell build my new limited gun and I’m going with the Lone Star Innovations Outlaw grip to give it a try based on the reviews on this forum.

waktasz Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Of the three I have tried I would rank them Cheely Infinity PT This is just on feel and personal preference. Quality was fine on all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerjd Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I went with the Cheely E2 SS grip kit. Ive checked out almost all the others and the Cheely fit my hands the best. Side note, he also has the best deal for the grip, magwell, mag release, MSH and beavertail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
