Y-Frame First Look

[AGD]

AO,

We have started to take a look at the Y frame concept and its starting out on a rocky road. We of course want it to be compatible with DYE grips like the Iframes but when you put the two together this is what you get below. Please eyeball this and make your sugestions for what we should do.

If we move the bottom of the frame down with the grip the distance to the trigger is too large. If we leave it where it is you have to cut the grip up in stupid ways and it will not look Gucci.

I am hoping you guys can figure something out.

Looks good!

Maybe you can get some special grips made from Dye to fit the Y Frame.

Why not use a grip pannel insteat of the wrap around.

Gucci? LOL

It's looking good so far, maybe you need someone to make a custom grip from scratch just for the Y frame. HMM who could do that? I know, Heather! What do you think? I know you could do something with this..

ehh... i'm generaly one that is open to strange ideas and such.... and i'm probly going to get one of these no matter what....

my only gripe so far... not enough angle forward.... maybe 1/2way between this and the old (better IMHO) Z's angle....

other wise as far as grips go.... just the nature of how i, and i'm sure others that shoot a Z, if any of my fingers are wraped around the grip frame itself... it is most likely just the pinky.... my ring finger, if not being used to pull the trigger, it is laying or hooking on the lower part of the trigger gaurd and not around the frame..... so really grip panels should work fine... as the only part of my hand that would benifit from a grip(like item) would be the area between my index finger and thumb..... and even that is not needed

[AGD]

Grip planels are a good option and we have Houges in stock from the last batch of Z's. If you dont mind those that solves the problem.

I don't quite understand by what you mean the distance to the trigger? Just move the bottom back, make it like 85-89* or something like that if you are trying to avoid patent infringements.

tom, can you tilt the actuall stickey, and then make the frame fit? also, use the stickey 3's from dye, those may be a little more open to what you had in mind. they seem to be a little more versatile, and they may fit the y grip just right

[Python14]

Panels would be fine. For me personally atlease(and we all know Mr. Kaye bases all of his decisions on what I think ), Stickies are useless as I use gloves, as do many players. So yea. Panels are cool. I take it that it will be intellifeed capable, no? Either way, it looks good and when I get my backup mag next month, I'll be more than eager to put a Y-frame on it.

[Doobie]

As long as the panel is rubberized/gummy I would like it. The hard panels kinda suck if you get sweat/paint on them. One of the big complaints I have with the Hypeframe grips.

[pbguy888]

I have a question...

Will these work without any fore grip extenders? For example would it work on my Micromag , with the foregrip on?

[Automaggin2]

Lookin good, but i think it looks a little to wide? no?
