    Well, I got my Luke's grips today with 1/8" milled out the inside to accomodate a micro rock. They look nice but don't fit QUITE as smoothly as I had hoped. There is a very small part by the top left screw that overhangs the frame the tiniest bit but it is not that bad, you probably wouldn't notice it on someone elses gun.

    The black screws don't fit the M90 either so I had to use the stock silver screws for now.

    That all being said, they look good and fit nicely but they are c-o-l-d! Definitely warm weather/glove grips for sure..

    I also got my Loguz modded CP ASA in today... so once the Cheater+LPR get here (hopefully a week or so) I will do a big write up + pics of the setup. Hopefully the Cheater will fit right out of the box!

      I have no Idea what the screws were for. Maybe an Angel? Glad to see someone else went for Luke's grips.

          The lines up top near that screw hole are a little different. If there is a lot of extra meat on the grip in that area it overhangs. You dont even notice it on the Angel ir3 or g7 panels.

            Maybe the M90 v2 could come with some custom aluminum grips.. honestly, I would've gladly paid another $25 for a good fitting pair in place of the champagne ones.

            The Luke's ones fit pretty good but they are not perfect

                Here's a couple. Let me preface this by saying I am definitely being nitpicky and I'm more than happy with the grips so don't take this as a criticism. I know they were designed for the Chimera really and I just hoped they would fit perfectly - I knew there was a chance they would be a little off.

                It's hard to take a pic that really shows it without holding it in your hands but from this angle you can kinda see the shadow where it overhangs.





                Like I said earlier, it's far from noticeable and doesn't really impact anything, I'm just really anal about my gun

                    Honestly, I'm not sure it's even fixable with the placement of the screws and the design of the frame.. you'd have a very tiny amount of aluminum around that screw if it was any thinner, probably wouldn't even work.

                    On gun, it's not really that noticable.

                      Does it use 8-32 screws?
                      Whats hanging over, the screw or panel? I may be able to massage them some to fit the frame, I'm just not clear on whats up. :)

                        Have you tryed to get new rubber IR3 grips in anything other then odd colors lately? They are almost impossible to get.
                        Yea after I posted I realized he wanted a complete product, and I have actually bought IR3 grips in the past month. Sugarstump had some white one's on ebay and I may pick up some of the black G7 panels that were linked earlier in this thread, I think I'd prefer those over aluminum, but I've never had a gun with aluminum grips.

                          I posted this in your dealer thread but for completeness sake..


                          I am not totally sure if they are 8/32 but they are definitely larger, I would guess one size.

                          The only part that doesn't really 'fit' is that the curve on the back of the panels doesn't follow the curve of the frame as well as it does on the Chimera and the screw hole closest to the trigger has some metal that overhangs a curve in the frame a little.

                          They fit 98% perfect though.

                            The paper that came with the frame says 8-32

                              I will make panels for this frame if you guys will do pre-pay orders. Ando has offered up his frame for the design.
