How do you guys feel about Alumagrips?

My Guncrafter CCO came with alumagrips and for EDC I love them!
If you're going to carry concealed they are very slim and light while providing a comfortable yet tactile grip.

Not the greatest pics but you get the idea...



On my Guncrafter American it came with Shredder grips from Larry Davidson. They are a lot more comfortable than they look but still provide positive grip with or without gloves in various climates. I also had Challis make a set out of Amboyna that I swap out when Im not at the range.

I have Hogue aluminum grips on my CZ75, I like them a lot.
They have smooth and checkered, I prefer the feel and look of the checkered.
But use grip screw O rings, or the screws will work lose.

Don't know what the issue is with having medallions on your grips but I really like the Wilson Combat Starburst (aggressive ones). I think medallions help balance out the "detail".

My two go to grips are slim VZ Operator 2s or slim Alumagrips. Had I tried Alumigrips first, I probably wouldn't have bothered to try VZs. (I've tried other VZ grips, but the Operator 2s worked best for me.)

The Operator 2s are aggressive. They won't slip in you hand, but if your hands get wet, cold or overly dry, they have sharp edges that can be uncomfortable.

My Alumagrips have "normal" checkering. They are grippy, but not sharp. No matter what the condition of your hands, they are never uncomfortable. Last weekend I shot a class in the rain at Gunsite and never had any issues with gripping the gun or the gun slipping in my hands. So, IMO, they are a great combination of comfort and controllability.

Edit: The laser etched grips look pretty cool too.

Vz's are the way to go if you're going G10. Here are a few of mine:

Simonich Gunners on a Springfield Pro


Tactical Diamonds on a Mil-Spec


my favorite: Operator II's on my Guncrafter No Name
