thin grips
« on: March 24, 2014, 10:08:19 PM »
I see a lot of grip posts but I wondered if anyone made any thin grips. thinner than the factory standard.

I've heard many good comments about these guys, but haven't bought from them myself.  Without measuring, I don't know if these are actually thinner than the factory grips.

Have you used them?  Are you able to activate the mag release with the thinner grips?

I have the original plastic.  I can activate the mag release without any problems.  It sounds like your mag release is not working properly.

That could be, it is very, very stiff.  However, what I meant was that my thumb can't reach the mag release w/o having to adjust my grip.  That is because of the swelling in the grip panels right behind the release.

I activate with my index finger. it works good. since the mag release is ambidextrous.

Was the button really stiff and difficult to press at first?  My 83 is from 1991, so I would think that it is well broken-in.

I do this with my CZ 82. Thumb side mag release is almost impossible to push in.

Well, this should help if I need to replace it
