sinnsyk Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Just to note: the webshop or cart-system doesn't reflect the discount. I charge all sales manually and will apply discount to the orders as I process them. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Hepworth Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 so I would like the Limited Custom with magwell,..(larg frame),..but in Pepsi Blue (just got to be different LOL) Can i place my order for it with the other items,..and just have you ship the parts when you get them in...? MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnsyk Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I think Pepsi Blue is going to be very cool, already have others ordered them so I'll probably make up a few. Yep, just place your order any time and I'll ship as soon as ready. I will take a batch of grips to the anodizer today and just guestimate qtys on various colors. Which if you place your order (custom color) soon you'll probably get it sooner as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMFAKBFS Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Can you give us a little info about the checkering, cause I want them checkerd And by preference as sharp as is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Hepworth Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I am just in the webstore now,..filling my cart.... About the checkering,....can it be applied to the colored grips for Limited with magwell.....? I prefer checkering aggressive on left side panel, just below mag release path...(ie: so the thumbs path to the mag release is not checkered),..is the possible?

sinnsyk Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I'm going to have do checkering & coloring on a custom basis, so the checkering will be done prior to checkering. Or if you want, it can be applied after. After would remove some of the color, but also make it stand out more. I'm going to do fairly aggressive checkering.

TMFAKBFS Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Oh oke that's nice, I like aggressive checkering. I will trust you on this one. It doesn't matter for me if you do the checkering before coloring or after. Just to the thing thats suits you best . Maybe checkering before coloring is better so that the exposed metal in the groves doesn't rust. The checkering on the front and back of the grip on my Tanfoglio is really hard to maintain and keep clean. But I will write my wishes in the order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I'd like to see a picture of the grips with the checkering... I don't like grip tape on my guns and the checkering may be a better alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinnsyk Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 i've got magwell grips at the plater; satin, black and blue. As soon as I've got the checkered ones done I'm gonna do one in each color and put up pics.. Non-checkered grips can ship mid next week, checkered will be following week. I'll write up a new article once I've got good pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Hepworth Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 do you think it may be possible to checker mine up on the left just below the thumb path for the mag release. I like that area to be smooth. If it is a new program it may not be possible,...but if it is that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnsyk Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 we can do anything, just a matter of time and cost. Post a drawing. If anyone else wants the same it may make sense, otherwise yours could be expensive. Right now the cad we've got will checker everything except a small border around. And checker both sides.

TMFAKBFS Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) As long as it has checkering it's good Is the checkering on the front and backstrap of the Limited Custom also 20 LPI ??? For me checkering on the entire grip panel, don't like smooth zones. What kind of checkering is this and what LPI ? Maybe an idea that more will like ?

ks-shooter Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I am with Mo on this. Relieve the thumb path on the left side and no checkering in the area of the thumb path. I think Blue will work very nicely, although the red could be good. Ordering blind....I would go with Pepsi Blue! Here is a picture of the wood grips I sanded down and textured and the aluminum grips I build up with putty except for the area of the thumb on the left side. Both of these are thinned to the max on the left side for the thumb to reach the mag release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Hepworth Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 yep, that thinner area is where it would prefer it to be smooth,....so as to not interfere with my thumb when I press the mag release.....I purposely do not put grip tape on that thinner section because I feel the grip tape may interfere with my thumb movement.

sinnsyk Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 vote NOW; smooth top on both sides or not? Checkering is happening right now and R&D is finalized on Tue eve/ Wed day. If we're gonna do smooth tops it's gonna be on both sides for two reasons: - lefties - trigger finger should have smooth surface to ride on as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMFAKBFS Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hmmmm probably most will go for the smooth tops, but I will go for full checkering. The same as the originals that are checkered from top till bottom. Full checkering for me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Hepworth Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) I vote smooth tops,...I don't find it hinders anything to have the top above the mag release path smooth,... Here is a picture of how high on the weak hand side I place the grip tape..... here is the other side...I find the lower area near the bottom rear can be a little slippy....
