Kensight Sharkskin Grips

Does anyone else use these?  Stumbled in them looking for a cheap set for a 1911 project and holy moley these things have bite. Almost like using 120 grit sandpaper. Not the best carry grips but pretty outstanding for our purposes. 

And if they ever break you can use them for light woodworking projects.

+1 really like mine,
I have them on all my bullseye guns they are made of polymer and they do grip well. Got them from Brownells for $20 a set.

They do work well.

Hi Late, I use them on my 1911;  my son has them on his Greg Derr 1911.

We both use them and love them. They improved my hold.  It's too bad

that Midway USA raised the price. Midway's price used to be $19.95.

On my main guns. 22, 45
Like them .

A couple of older posts, I have them, wouldn't change them for anything.   Great grips!  I tried the VZ and immediately went back to the sharkskin from Kensight.  Make sure you get black, the other colors do not have the same amount of traction.


My only complaint is that I wish they made a full length version for those of us with mag-wells.

I wish they made a thin version.

Jay Hawk Ergo Grips look almost the same and are for mag wells.

That's terrific!  Thanks for the heads up brother.  I'll put hose on my wad gun and 22 conversion.

Brownells has Sharkskin grips back in stock.

Thinking of buying a set - how comfortable are these to shoot with after an hour or so?

Good to go all day.

I use them across the board, they will eat the hide off your right thumb, so hang on !

I love my wood grips with a beautiful finish but they are slippery think I will try a set of these.  Don

I would like to like the sharkskin grips, but they are too thin for me.  Even with the sharkskin texture, the gun feels loose in my hand because of the thinness of the grip.

I got em on my 22, and 45. Probably gonna order another set for my ball gun.

Good friends at CMM can take care of that with some 1911 stock spacers

I have 60-90 grit silicon carbide that I applied with JB Weld to my grips.  They work well.  I have considered the sharkskin grips in the past.  Anything for some more grip!

Shark Skin or plain jane Harretts are the way to go! I wrote this article on grips.

David Sams talked me into Sharkskins.  Man are they grippy.  And cheap too at $20 a set.
