Well done Alfonse! PM sent.

Has anyone come across a set of G10 Grips for the MK9? I did a fair amount of internet searching and came up with nothing. I see that VZ and others make G10s for a decent variety of pistols, but nothing for MK9s.

Have you checked with Bawanna? He can probably make some if he can get the material.

Can we get a full body shot?

[Alfonse]

Great photos on how those fit! I have changed the models to bring the fit in closer on the slide stop. The fit around the back strap is a little different than on my frame. But I can sure put more material in there. Looking at it, mine shows less (about 0.010" at the outside), but still some, of that frame corner as well. I've been trying to make the fit like the thinner, factory plastic grip.

If these are popular, I can probably do some different sizes to give some choices for hand size too.

Thanks B4!!!

[Bawanna]

I think the main thing is to not have any proud metal showing. Better to have the grips just a nano over size that a nano too shy.

That's a very tough area to fit properly.

The slide lock area and a couple others are extremely unforgiving. If they aren't perfect there's no metal behind so it just don't look right.

Those are extremely nice and very close to perfection. Really coming together.

I will add a bit of material in that back strap fit, and make that a variable radius. We have another frame series to see if I can fit as well.

For those who haven't read the whole thread, the photos are of a plastic, printed prototype that is being used to check the fit on various MK series pistols.

The look is not what the actual production parts would look like. The first run will be in black G10 when the fitting is the best I can make it.

The texture of the grip is also not current as to what seems like the best alternative. An image of the thinking there is below.

Thanks again b4!

Best design yet!

Whatever the price, I'm absolutely in for a set. They're looking incredible. Any plans on running different colors? I'm a sucker for OD green.

[Alfonse]

I can run down to 50 at a time. So, sure colors can be done if enough folks want them.

I'm still in, and I will want colors. If you're trying to keep it simple and run only black, I'd even be willing to send you the G10 blanks in the colors I'd like. Just let me know the blank dimensions you need to work with. You can order a huge variety of color combinations from the various knife-making supply companies.

Just say the word on when you're able to start machining G10 and you can count me in for a set.

Thanks for all your efforts on this project, Alfonse!

I like your idea, and maybe it gets to complicated, but man it would be nice if we could send our own blanks if we did want a different color!
