BillGarlandJr Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I like the look of those. Just ordered a pair. Thank you for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0724_1030 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Very nice! I am eagerly awaiting the release of their palm swell grips. As a placeholder, silicone carbide on the large stock grip has been a notable improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 These kinda make me wish I had a steel frame lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OklahomaJim Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Those look good! How do they compare to the one-piece Canik grips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 A little thicker and 3x grippier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcar157 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Love the "Veloce" pattern on any LOK grip! Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChef1 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 They look good but holy s#!t they are expensive. Especially considering they are not palm swell. I silicon carbide the stock strap and cover the rest with grip tape and its money. I'm Experimenting with another back strap im going to do a post on soon.

WxGuy Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 They go together like the Walther Q5 Steel gun grips. Very nicely done. I added front strap tape too and the gun now feels solid in the hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just discovered vicious grip tape and this s#!t is crazy aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillGarlandJr Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I grabbed at set of the LOK grips and I gotta say, they’re really nice. Thing I like about G10 grips vs. grip tape or other similar options is the grip isn’t so “grippy” that its difficult to rotate my hand around the gun to hit the mag button, or make a grip adjustment on a draw. But man, once my grip is locked in, the gun really doesn’t want to go anywhere. I think these grips are a huge improvement over stock. Yeah, they’re a bit spendy, but they address what I thought was a shortcoming of the pistol in stock form, so they’re worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 I scored Dark Side gun #2 today and will put on the LOK Blue/Grey grips to tell them apart. Of course I could always say gun 1 has the red trigger! I really like this gun. I found the insertion issue with the newer Canik, not MecGar, mags. Did a little filing with a straight diamond file on the front right lip when looking at it from the back and all are now 100%. I'll probably do some polishing on the FPB plunger too just to make sure. It fired all ammo run through it tonight. Gun 2 (on top) had 840 rounds through it. Now 950.

Lol Yeah dude I love it. It’s painful in a good way lol. But it doesn’t cut me or tear me up. Not yet at least. I haven’t shot a match with that gun yet though.

hermes_actual Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I wasn't impressed with the Lok Veloce "grippiness" - returned them. I'm used to silicon carbide I guess, but I hate the job of applying it. I'm back to Handle It grip tape for now - changing it every six months or so. Hoping the Lok aluminum grips have more bite. The brass are too heavy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcar157 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I just saw that LOK now has the Palm Swell Veloce for the Rival S. Has anyone tried them? I have the Veloce Palm Swells on my Shadow 2 and love 'em. Wondering tho how they will be on a Rival S? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
