Mikeski Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 So I currently have one of the EVO grips on my open gun. Has anyone compared the EVO to other steel grips and noticed a huge difference? Mostly the Cheely E2 grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSandMan491 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 The infinity grip (Cheely is a knock off of the infinity) has a rounder front strap, while the PT grip has slightly more squared front corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Cheely E2 and Infinity Signature grips give the highest grip possible and feel amazing in the hand. And Cheely Aluminum grips seem to work without cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not own an LSI grip, however I have held one and I like the feel of it better than my EVO grip. It is relieved on the front strap just under the trigger guard where my EVO is straight so it fits my hand better. My plan is to switch my primary and backup to the LSI grip over time. The backup is getting the LSI this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know this. Thanks for sharing I am going to look into this as I like the grip but the LSI just felt better because of that undercut. Could possibly save some money doing this or having it done to my current grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJinPA Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I fondled many before choosing the LSI outlaw. I liked how high it’s cut under the trigger guard. To me it just felt better than the others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of the LSI myself because of the area under the trigger guard that has no grip texture where the middle finger sits? Is that the area you're talking about because I think the double undercut that was referred to is to the trigger guard and not the grip. The LSI already has the double undercut to the trigger guard.

echotango Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Here is a pic of the evo with a double undercut. One out in the trigger guard and 1 at the grip. Edited September 3, 2020 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limitedgun Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Having an LSI as well as the Cheely E2, I will take Cheely all day. LSI feels OK, but the mag catch fit in the frame is sloppy. If you see someone with an LSI grip that doesn't always drop the mags free, it is due to the fit of the catch and the relief for the magazine is not cut deep enough. I fixed mine, but it is fun to watch others with the mags sticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alien_pickles Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I have a PT classic grip and I love it. It really mimics the standard 1911 grip better than any of the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzt Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Well, I use the standard texture Cheely e2 SS grip and love it. I was originally going to buy the EVO grip until a vendor at a major shoot had grips on display. I handled them all and the Cheely e2 was the most comfortable for me. It fits my medium sized hand like it was designed just for me. The EVO and LimCat feel squarish in my hand. I didn't like the LSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limitedgun Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Glenn doesn't have time to reply to emails apparently. Waiting 2 weeks on a response is a bit excessive. I know I can count on Matt to at least respond within a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzt Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Heck. Matt has picked up the phone and answered my questions every time I called. I use a lot of Cheely Custom stuff now. It's great stuff and he is responsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powder Finger Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Matt answered when I was at the player as he wanted to know what kind of aluminum the grip was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJBriggs Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Another +1 for Cheely. The grip is very ergonomic, and it fit like a glove into the Cheely frame. Matt ships his products out super fast, and is always responsive to phone calls. Customer service is above and beyond any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unregistered Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I love the SVI grip with their own mag release shape. Fantastic as it allows me to reach the mag release without needing an extended paddle which always gets in the way for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I like Cheely followed by SV the best. PT feels too square to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranoel Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I find it funny that the main reason people started shooting the Chip McCormick/Tripp Research/STI double stack was the hi-tech polymer gripframe and now everyone is looking to go with metal. Much as I liked the first ones that came out, I always had my reservations about the two-piece frame held together by 2 screws. I went the Caspian route and never had any doubts or regrets.
