gave in and ordered new grips

seeker · May-23-14 04:05

After hearing all the positive things about C Vang grips from Uncle Lee especially and a few others I saw a pair on ebay and couldn't resist any longer.
Now the waiting begins...

oh and this pic is from the ad soon it will be Mine.

You will like the grips. They carry in your pocket as easy as the standard NAA grips.

Seeker and gray,

I just purchase a mini awhile ago and have been considering grip options. I really like those CVangs. They look like they'll still be compact enough but add that much needed grip surface. I can't seem to find where to order them. Can you guys give me a point?

Thanks!

seeker · May-24-14 08:05

The site they are on is Revision I believe.
But I got mine on ebay but its the revision c.vang site thats selling them there.
Just type in naa grips it should pop up them among others
And not bad $45.00 including shipping.

I think I will I have the extended boot grip on my magnum now.
A big plus I've never heard anything bad about them even amongst people picky as some ebayers
Last time I looked 98 reviews All positive Not one negative..I can't wait to get them.

Yes, I love Cvang grips.
Once I tried them, they went on all the minis that I shoot and some that don't.
I love the looks as well as the feel.

They arrived today can't believe how much better they feel the only complaint I could have is if they weren't as slick. I may try something like a slip on rubber grip cover or using a soldering iron to add some checkering.

grayelky · May-29-14 20:05

I strongly suggest you try the slip on rubber first. They can be removed. Once they are stippled, it takes a new set or one heck of a lot of work, to "erase" the stippling.

Stop by a bicycle shop and get a tube from their trash pile. The smaller diameter, the better. Cut a section slightly longer than you think you need, and slip it over your grip. Use a razor blade To trim it to size. If you don't like the way it fits, or if the razor slips, cut it off and start over. If it is too loose, a hair drier will help it to shrink. After you shoot it a couple f times, if you don't like it, your pocket knife used carefully leaves no indication it was ever on there. You might pick up a couple of different sizes in used inner tubes, as this "trick" works very well on KelTec/Ruger/Taurus .380s, and even some larger guns. Best part, it's very affordable! You will also have enough grip material for most of your friends with just a couple of tubes in various sizes. Naturally, you will take credit for thinking this up and then being a nice enough guy to share with them!

Thanks Grayelky
I'll try the inner tubes sounds like the solution I need.

And your right I will take the credit for thinking this up.

+1 to the tube grip. I, too, have done this with a wide variety of things. My favorite object with an inner tube grip is a lead filled pipe nipple with an endcap, which I use for bashing hard things which need to be bashed. The end cap is not extremely hardened steel like most hammers. Basically, the next softer hammer is a brass face hammer.

Had a flashlight with a bicycle inner tube grip on it, but think I lost that one.

Definitely. If you don't, before you know it, it is too late and you are stuck raising it for at least 18 years!

NOTHING Beats Sambar Stag Grips , NOTHING......... (:

Adk.IBO · June-06-14 14:06

Do the Cvang grips have a slightly narrower width than say my Wasp grips? The same? Slightly wider? Thanks folks.

Stay safe, John

grayelky · June-06-14 21:06

They may be a tiny bit more narrow, but I am not sure. When you first see them, they appear to be big. The fact is, they fit in my pocket just as easily as the factory Wasp grip did. Yes, did. I now have CVang grips on my Wasp. They are wider, trigger area to backstrap, than any of the factory grips, except the Black Widow. Left side of the gun to the right side of the gun, I suspect they may be a tiny bit slimmer. Top to bottom, they are longer.

Adk.IBO · June-07-14 04:06

Thanks very much. I haven't been dressed with out my Wasp since I got it. If I could find more ammo I'd have more than the 125 rounds through it than I do, but I will order the new grips this weekend.

Stay safe, John

Guess I'm givin' in too!

Adk.IBO · June-10-14 15:06

Well, I didn't get around to ordering this weekend and had to have my work truck towed yesterday, starter went bad to the tune of $660. Anyway, I got to looking at the Revision site and a new question has arisen, are the dymondwood grips durable and worth nearly double the money? I'm thinkin' not but I also don't recall seeing mention of them here at all. Thanks.

Stay safe, John

seeker · June-10-14 16:06

I'd say if you like the looks better then the dymondwood would be worth it, it sure would match you Buck110 better,,,,,,thats the only reason I looked at them I like matching a knife and gun in the same scales/grips

Adk.IBO · June-10-14 16:06

Match "you Buck110 better"

??

We're all a littlecrazy here.

But just meant that they would just be for looks
And the buck110 reference was because they ( the bucks ) are made with dymondwood scales
I guess can't assume everyone knows knives well
Glad I could confuse you.

Adk.IBO · June-10-14 18:06

Just raised my level of confusion a notch above normal. I googled dymondwood and it looks to be as tough and long lasting a product as any I guess. Now to decide ...again... There's that confusion factor again...

... Probably go cheap though and black will match my S&W 640 grips and my Benchmade mini Griptilian scales

.

Stay safe, John

seeker · June-10-14 18:06

I believe you'll like the cheaper grips they feel great
You get a real solid grip on the gun

grayelky · June-10-14 23:06

I got the Dymondwood grips because I like the way they look. Do they function twice as good? No. Do they look twice as good in my pocket? No. HOWEVER, I don't smoke, and drink so little it does not count, so I opted for the better looking grips. My son opted for the "basic" (?) black grips, just cause he liked them better.
