Coolhand Grips. How thick ? Are they thin?
« on: March 18, 2020, 10:06:55 AM »
Anyone now anything about these Coolhand G10 etc grips?

Are they as thin as LOK or the aluminum?

They dont have any info on their site  :-[ :P

I have the Sunburst grips on my PCR. They are thinner than the stock rubber grips, but it's my understanding that the LOK grips are slightly thinner.

According to the questions section on Amazonia, apparently answered by Cool Hand Grips, each grip is approx. 1/4" in depth.

Yeah, I've found 1/4" thickness on CollHand's website, but unfortunately LOK doesn't tell us their thickness.  >:(

Somehow we have to make our own conclusions... 

LOK STANDARD:
"These grips are thinner than the stock rubber palm swell grips.  With the stock rubber grips, the total thickness of the gun across the grips is ~1.41''.  With our grips, it measures 1.2''.  So these grips are approx .1 thinner each than the stock grips."

I've measured my P-01 with LOK Standard - 1.250"

LOK THIN:
"These grips are thinner than the stock grips.  With the stock grips, the total thickness of the gun across the grips is ~1.41''. With our grips, it measures 1.120''.  So these grips are approx .145'' thinner each than the stock grips.  These grips are the same thickness as the thin aluminum grips. "

Great... and that is the answer for initial question  :D

LOK Thin - 1.120"
CoolHand - 1.204"
LOK Standard - 1.250"
Palm Swell - 1.410"
And according to LOK website Aluminum grips are 1.120". Hopefully someone can confirm it.

My Cool Hand G10s came a day early. Something to do whilst quarantined wyling away the day.  8) My P01 with the OEM rubber grips measured 1.42" with my super accurate Harbor Freight digital caliper. The CH grips brought that down to svelt 1.18". Both measured at the screws. First impressions - I like 'em so far. Grippy without being like a cheese grater. Surprising how those few fractions of an inch help it to hide better. And the pistola doesn't feel unbalanced with the more narrow grips. Took some pics. The fit is decent. You can see some gaps at the bottom of the grip. Think thats a common comment on the CH grips. Here's some pics.









Fixed the right side a bit. Loosened the screw and seated it better so its more like the left grip. Just didn't take another pic

I have those on my P01 and the grips went in a bit more by using their screws and orings, and pushing the bottom of the grip forward, towards the end of screwing down.

Same thing happened with my LOK grips on my P-01. It ended up being wobbly so I applied some electrical tape underneath and it's been working well since.
