paramajic4 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Does anyone have any info on the MPA 2011 grips? I have only been able to find one reference on the forum and that stated they were too smooth and lacked grip. The price is much is better than Cheeley or PT. I currently use the Cheeley standard texture on my other gun. Any info appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They offer "aggressive" now but I doubt it is as aggressive as the cheely or pt aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 mpa aggressive is very aggressive. not familiar with cheely or pt so can't compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterj Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I have the MPA DS40 with the aluminum grip and I also have a couple guns with the Cheely steel grip. The Cheely is more aggressive but the aluminum offers plenty of traction. The aggressive steel MPA should be comparable to all the other steel grips on the market.

Bakerjd Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 A buddy of mine has an MPA Hybrid and unless they drastically changed their grip from the one he has to the ones they now make in house it feels like a much less aggressive LSI grip. I thought it was an LSI grip when I shot his gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the DS9's before around April of the year shipped withe the smoother the smoother texture that is now only shipping on the commander carry gun. We now have a stainless aggressive texture available as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our aggressive stainless grip is not as aggressive as the PT or Cheely aggressive texture but I didn't want it to be. We experimented with textures for several months this year and settled on a texture that is plenty aggressive enough to offer traction with wet hands while shooting but won't tear your flesh during longer dryfire use.

I use the S2 and with some liquid grip its plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an S3 on order which along with the liquid grip should be great for my nasty sweaty hands in the summer haha but I have such thick calluses from other stuff I do, still I expect it’s gonna hurt a bit but they say that’s how it feels when weakness leaves your body lololol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could feel it after a long practice session though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stmark73 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Is the shape of the grip similar to a Cheely E2 or more of the traditional straight grip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeilAndrew Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 If you look at a picture of the grip on their website, it has a hump similar to Cheely E2. Having handled both, feels very similar to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostenelli Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 When is the atlas steel v2 grip coming out? I really want to add to my Limcat also tried the MPA steel open today. It was grippy but wasn’t a pinecone and was sufficient - prob more grippy than a “standard” texture l2 I had on my other open gun. It is very e2’ish and more rounded. I only shot like half a mag out of the MPA so didn’t get any draws from the holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APL-G35 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Quote S3 MPA Grip is probably the best feeling most aggressive grip I've ever held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
