Another PI Grip!
Posted: July 16th, 2016, 1:32 am
Here is the latest grip model. V.06 Soft Tail. And the last hand made one.
The driver for this one was a slimmer profile with blended geometry for more discrete carry. This required working outside the p-64 "box".
This grip is only 3/16" longer, 1" width, tapering smaller. And about the same depth.
I had to make a new over-mold for the mag. Foot that matched the bottom contours. And yet another extended mag release lever that barely protrudes, yet operates even easier than the first model as it is even longer!
So you can see that this will have to be supplied as a three piece kit. Grip, mag. foot and release lever.
The pricing structure will be similar to individual parts already available. But I will need to be a little creative with the mag. Over-mold to keep the price down. The OEM plastic foot must be removed from the metal floor. The new over-mold is very stout!
Ive been carrying it around awhile. Carries just fine. And the palm swell of the v.05 is missing so it does not rub on my bare skin.
I'll fire tomorrow and report back.
Availability likely in a month. It still needs some clean-up.
Comments and questions , as always ,are welcome.
