are the REDHAWK bantam grips compatible with the gp 100?
« on: November 04, 2012, 03:47:56 PM »
I'd like to know if the grip and rubber spacers that hold it are compatible with the gp-100 (a newer one to my knowledge) without a great deal of difficulty.  it seems to me that my factory hogue monogrips have a bit too much slop in them.  I suppose I could ask a (machinist) buddy to machine a new pin to hold the saddle/anchor to tighten mine up but I still want the bantams.  I have a short grip, and if I tighten up real hard, I have a problem getting much more than the tip of my finger on the trigger.  Any other suggestions would be appreciated. 

to put it in perspective my hand is wider and thicker than a woman's but BARELY longer.  short grip/reach, which means weak grip if I'm not careful.

nevermind, I asked around and got a view of some pictures of them disassembled.  not gonna happen for me... I could try to "build-up" the inside surface that contacts the backstrap, but that would be a pain, probably not worth it.  I think I'm just gonna try to wrap that retainer for the anchor/saddle.  thanks anyways guys.

Hogue used to make a set of rubber grips that are thicker side to side than the OEM ones. I put the Hogues on mine, but that was 20 or so years ago, and they're not as pretty as the OEM grips.

The greatest idea the right ever had is personal responsibility; the greatest idea the left ever had is social responsibility. Both take effort.

I did put some gorilla tape on the aluminum peg that holds the springsteel clip, that holds the screw, that holds the grip..... I also have electrical tape just in case ... so far the gorilla is holding up after a couple outings.  it does cut the slop down to 1/3... that peg is TIGHT in the grip now BUT the springsteel clip is still a bit sloppy on the adaptor peg.  if I'm ever going to get rid of ALL the slop I'll need to give that wrapped up peg to my machinist buddy to mike it (and the holes on the clip) to make an almost zero tolerance assembly.

then I need to scope that mofo!  but I'm getting ahead of myself.....
