persona non grata Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I was wondering if they were gator back grips like these here: Gator Backs at Brownell's Or if they were simmonich grips: Simmonich Gunner grips via Brownells I just remember being impressed by how textured they were when the shooter was given the LAMR command. This was a few months ago. I asked the shooter if I could check out his 1911 and we went over to the safe area to check it out. He told me what they were but for the life of me can't remember what they were. Do you all know of any other grips textured just as much? They were plastic/polymer. They weren't alumagrips. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsablazin Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I have a set of ERGO Grips on my 1911 Springfield .45, they are slightly thinner than stock grips and have a rough surface, combined with skateboard tape on the front strap the gun is easily controllable. I have no expierience with the brands you mention, but the ERGO's are available through Dillon for around $20.00, they are a hard plastic and you can use the stock grip bushings, screws etc. FWIW, Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) I have the simonich grips on a gun and they are super textured. Nice grips too. Edited to add. I got them off a friend that did not like them because they were tearing his hand up. Edited November 20, 2007 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout454 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have 4 single stacks and they all have Gunner Grips. I've been carrying a single stack for over 40 years and they are the best grips I've used. They are "rough", but even wet you have a very secure grip.

Merlin Orr Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Jerry Barnhart sells a "grit inbedded" grip also I have these on my favorite single stack. Mine are ancient but still give a nice stable grip. Cheap too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z Rider Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Check out VZ grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf219 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 If you want the best textured grips on the market, send a PM to VoodooDaddy on the forum. He did my grip on my STI and its the best thing Ive tried. Grip tape custom made for the grips only lasts so long. This stuff is long lasting, Ive had it since September and you cant even see any wear. VoodooDaddy is a little paticular on who he does work for, its quality and precision that he accomplishes and its well worth it. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racemaker Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Grip tape works for me - and is very inexpensive & easily replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z40acp Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I have always liked the Hogue slabs with the palm swells. I would like to get the VZ or grit style. Does anyone make that style with the palm swells? Sorry for the thread hijack. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
