Searching for a slender XL pistol grip

[ejemyr]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a brand of pistol (Visconti-style) grip that come in XL (glove size 10) and which still retains a "slim" or "slender" feeling in the larger sizes. I've bought LP's XL grip which is much to "bulky" for my taste.

Any tip is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Hej!


Om det är värja så kan du ju fila till greppet med en vanlig metallfil.


Ha det bra!

i am glove size 9 to 9.5 and i use small, and occasionally medium grips. i think you are using the wrong size grip for your hand. consider downgrading to L or M.

I'm glove size 10.5 and I usually use medium visconti grips.*

I've fenced with sizes S-XL, and M is what works best for me. In my opinion it is common for people to initially land on a grip size that's too big.

Or you could take (what I'm guessing is) Peter's suggestion and just take a file to the grips you have.

* well, actually I usually use sabre grips, but back originally when I was exclusively an epeeist, and now when I fence either epee or foil I usually use medium visconti. My lesson weapons have all kinds of grips on them as they're whatever Temple had laying around when I needed a weapon.

I don't know how much I can help, but I have a size 9.5 glove, and I use a Leon Paul L Visconti... And it's a little big for me, I think... I'm gonna second other people who say you might see about using a smaller grip.

If you like the feel of a Visconti (finger grooves, etc), but want something that feels "thinner", you might try a German Visconti. I also didn't like the "width" across the palm of regular Visconti's, and have used these for the past 6 years.
