crg Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I'm going to order a set of grips for my new gun this week. I have a set of G10 palm swell bogies on my current fun. I'm thinking about trying the Lok brass grips but they look much less aggressively textured than the G10 grips. Can anyone who has used both provide some info on how they feel as far as friction goes compared to the G10 options? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose97 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Brass is more aggressive, IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mSNACKS Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The brass is as aggressive feeling if not more than g10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regor Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 My experience is the brass grips are less aggressive than a fresh set of bogies, but the G10 grips start to round off fairly quickly and end up around the same aggressiveness as the brass grips. It's a different feel though because the brass grips have a much finer checker/point pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crg Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 Great, thanks for the help. I think I'll try the brass grips then. I noticed the same with my G10 grips, they were really aggressive at first but they did wear down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChef1 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I my opinion the brass is more aggressive than the bogies. I don’t know if I got a weak pair but I didn’t find the bogies all that aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goshimu Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Brass is more aggressive and I too feel the g10 does wear down in sharpness. I will be replacing some g10’s with more brass palm swells soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WYgunner Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Why not get the best of both worlds and get brass grips with g10 inserts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely nice. of all the grips I prefer the brass aggressive palm swells. g10 important to keep them dry and without oil it makes a noticeable difference. very good traction and feel when they are.

crg Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 I ordered a set of the aggressive bronze palm swell grips and already have a set of G10 bogies so I'll see which I like more. If the brass are more aggressive then I personally don't see much benefit in the G10 inserts but I'll see after comparing them back to back.

Bakerjd Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 If you want aggressive get the patroit defense brass grips. Hands down the most aggressive and best grips on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the patriot defense palm swell grips have a significantly different profile (fatter toward the backstrap than Lok that taper down thinner there). It would be interesting to try them both back to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my large hands, I don't think that the PD ones would fit my grip very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I will add is g10 performs best when dry and free of any oils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeilAndrew Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I've had the same experience with my G10 palm swells from Lok becoming less "grippy" over time. Another of the guys at the club has a shadow 2 set up identically to mine with the exception of brass grips. I liked the way the texture felt a lot more, but I wasn't sure on the weight. Didn't love it all that much, but since I haven't shot it with that extra weight, maybe I'll try it next time Lok has a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lok offers reduced weight brass or aluminum grips with the same texture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeilAndrew Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Oh shoot that's right. Thanks for the reminder. I'll have to shoot my buddy's with the brass grips and make a decision if it's even worth spending more money. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 If you run brass for like a year, dryfiring every day. Then compare it to a new set you might be surprised how much the texture gets worn down. Brass is pretty soft too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aluminum are cheaper than brass by a wide margin and only $10 more than g10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
