Trojan Grips

[Donho]

I have an STI Trojan 40 cal. I want to change the thin grips that came with the gun. Any suggestions on what work's best? VZ Grips, Alumagrips, Ergo Grips, etc.

I like the VZ's. John's good to deal with and has some nice colors and styles available.

Ergo Grips are functional and cheap.

I've got a set of VZ grips, a set of Alumagrips, and several good wood grips, as well as rubber. VZs are good but I like wood significantly better. I've had constant headaches with the Alumgrips continually coming loose after just a few rounds, even when using purple Loktite, and teflon tape. I finally seem to have resolved it by backing the entire grip with electrical tape. I normally wouldn't like the feel of aluminum grips, but I've covered mine with TRUGRIP grip decal things, and the grip/feel is really great. Even so, I don't recommend them because the rewards (the extrat grippines) is not so much better than good wood that it justifies the extra hassles with the loosening aluminum and extra work in adding and maintaning the grip tape.

I recommend good double diamond wood grips like those in cocobolo from Esmeralda or Ahrends. The grip is right, feels good to the touch, no loosening problems because wood gives.

I like the G-10 grips that SA is now putting on their TRP's. I bought a pair for my Trojan, installed regular sized bushings and a new set of grips screws. I coulcn't get used to the thin grips.

I paid about 69$ on brownells. They are a composite grip with a good stippled typed texture.

+1 on John's grip ala VZ grips. He is a helluva nice guy and provides a grip texture for just about any preference/use. Also he has donated and supported the sport with a good many sets of free grips.

I have these on my Trojan .40... Not real pretty but they sure feel good.
