I had a slow day at work, so I took an impression of my hand over my tigger frame. By the end of the day, I had a mold and poured in some acrylic. Voila, custom tigger frames. I guess you could say they fit like glove.

i've seen the same thing done with earplugs for shooting sports. they send you a special putty and you press it into your ear and it stays hard enough to make the trip back and have them make a mold of it. they are VERY comfortable.

just a suggestion, you should have the mold fit your hand to fit when you are tucked in with the gun and both fingers on the trigger. just a suggestion

Great idea...


Only problem I see is if you get your hand in a position 'other' than the position you have there holding it. Seems like it'd be very uncomfortable (I had the same problem with some sp grips) in a really tight bunker.

I actually did mold them in a 'tucked position' but I use a remote any way so I didn't have to worry about position with a big HPA
It could be a little uncomfortable with the left hand, but it is still usable, for those rare occasions.

Blue is a bad color. I'm gonna have to paint it. I thought it was going to be more clear. Next time I'll try for all clear.

I'm working on a way to get other peoples impressions, but I'm not sure if there would be enough interest, or if I can figure out a way to make them for less $ than this one cost. Otherwise the material used for making this wasn't that cheap.
