I am new here, but not to shooting or other boards- Hi!
I have a stainless Mk II with a 5.5" bull barrel, a custom comp and am currently using a Leupold/Gilmore red dot scope.
I shoot falling plate matches, and won the overall in the last match, as well as starting to shoot in bullseye. I am currently using the stock grips with a few pieces of grip tape in a couple of places. I am not happy with my grips, especially in bullseye. My score last week was 776, and should have been better.
I have looked at a set of Volquartsen grips. They have a "medium" palm shelf and a thumb rest. I think they are hard rubber. I held a MkIII that had them installed and after a very brief time they seemed to feel good- I did not shoot it with them though.
Since I will be using the pistol for both types of matches, which means both a single hand and double hand grip. I have medium-large hands and long fingers. The MkIII felt good, I think, because it filled my hand better. I have no idea what it will do to my trigger pull.
Has anyone had any experience with this particular grip?
Does anyone have any suggestions for another grip I might look at?
I also shoot a SA .45acp with a similar set-up, that has Pachmeyer grips. Do Pachs work well in this situation?
BTW, neither pistol is exactly stock, although I have kept the trigger pull a little on the heavy side. A lighter pull would help a lot in bullseye but I worry about it in fast action shooting.
Thanks,
Jim
