Shooter grips! best BW type!

DonVoigt · 11-08-2015, 11:27 AM

GT,
I've been using original vopo bakelite/plastic grips on one of my shooters.
They are substantial, can be bought for $25 to $35 online and are still
"real Luger grips".

They fit better than some reproductions too.

Beware of plastic , especially vintage plastic as in Franzite, many have shrunk to the point that they are 1/4" too short for a luger frame, near "baby luger" size!.

Of course wrapping medical stretch bandage around them helps too, it even comes in black!
Protects the grip and your hand. I'm talking about the wrinkle/grippy/stretchy type that is often seen as "sports" related. This might be a good solution for you, given those 32 round drum dumps you have been and will continue to do!

Hi Don and all, After mulling it all over, I think Don is correct.... I would appreciate the chance to buy some VOPO grips sets as they would fit nice and hold up well?... But, not the resin repros.. (why would anyone want to replicate VOPO grips???) If any of you have any extra original VOPO grip sets please let me know... Best to all, til...lat'r....GT... Got money to spend! Parts to trade!..... Monty Python haggling rules apply!.....
