Thinking VZ Frag grips for Compact-Zebra
« on: April 14, 2016, 09:38:51 PM »
In the Zebra pattern.....something different [emoji3]


Anyone else running VZ Zebras?  Thoughts?


Can I just use the factory screw?

I am thinking about the Frag in desert/black. Anxious to see if someone here has an opinion on the Frag grips.

Thanks for the pictures. I am planning on ordering a set soon, trying to decide on color. Leaning towards Black/Desert Sand.

I just installed a set on my 75C. They look fantastic and offer just the right amount grip...especially for carry. I noted that when I first installed them, I tightened the grip screws to the point that the mags would not drop. Anyone else have that issue?

Maybe a washer or small o ring needed??

I just ordered a set of VZ diamond tactical grip black and gray pattern on Ebay for $50 shipped and new in the box. Some people has said that pattern is a bit too grippy but I will have to se. That prices was too good to pass up. If they don't work out then they go on the trader I guess.

I did use the rubber o rings that came with the grips, on my first install. I took the panels off and re-installed them, making sure they weren' "farmer tight". The mag seems to drop freely now...but will have to hit the range to make sure the issue is resolved. I did send LOK an email regarding my problem, and they responded right away with an offer to send another set of panels and a shipping envelop for the return of my current set. I let them know I appreciated their quick response and offer, but hopfully had resolved the probelm.

Maybe VZ vs Lok?   Did the VZs come with any washers or rubber O rings or did you just use OEM screw?

Then again I'm assuming you have VZs?

I thought the frag pattern wouldn't offer enough grip.  It offers just the right amount of grip!  I don't need to try the diamond pattern.  I have the solid black, but I'd trade straight up for the black and gray zebra.

And I used the original grip screws.
