TM Hi-capa white grip

THe_Silencer · June 21st, 2012, 18:46

Anyone know where I can get a white TM Hi-capa grip?

Styrak · June 21st, 2012, 20:45

SD makes light grey ones...

THe_Silencer · June 22nd, 2012, 01:54

Unfortunately they're not quite white... Seems kinda strange that it's so hard to find a white Hi-capa grip.

I've looked in to this myself and came up empty handed. My sugestion to you is to get the grey one from SD and paint it white or what I did and get whie grip tape from your local skateboard shop if they have and do it that way. The grey grips are acctually not as dark as you think.

Can I import one of these from redwolf or airsoftgi? I have seen the various other threads related to the issue and the answers seem relatively inconclusive. This is my first post so please be gentle lol

Short Answer you can't

Long answer. Talk to a retailer, I'm sure they might risk a custom order if you cover the costs.

Wouldn't a grip like those be ok for import considering the mid-frame is not part of it?
I was assuming this since I read about importation regulation, but now am in doubts

You can import it yourself, only the frame is restricted. The hi-capa's frame is a separate from the grip, unlike most other pistols with a polymer grip.

I'm not even sure that they would seize the frame either. The 1911's frame extends into the pistol grip, whereas the Hi-Capa's is only attached at the top (a very poor design for a real firearm). It's definitely not a replica of any real firearm frame nor does it really look like one detached from the gun.

It's a real gun, just one that isn't used much outside the competition world.

I just had a look at that link. Those race guns are just pimped out 1911s, the frame still being housed within the grip as standard 1911s.

I said that the frame is not a replica of any real steel frame hence my curiosity if CBSA would classify it as such. Hi-capa frames attach only at the top of the grip, the grip itself remains completely hollow when the frame is attached.

Still, the hi-capa grip should have no issues being imported since the slide track and catch are on the frame and not the grip.

The frame is a replica of a real steel frame. Strayer voigt and Strayer tripp international to be exact (Sandy Strayer was and still is part of both companys). They use a polymer grip to save weight because you dont necessarily need to have a frame that houses the support structure of a grip. Thats the whole advantage of those guns. Weight saving because the polymer is lighter than metal. And its fine because all the high stress areas are in the upper which is made from metal.

Scroll down to competition frames.

Looks a lot like our hi capa frames doesnt it?

Anyways grips should be fine to import. Rule of thumb is that any part that on a real gun that would have a registration or serial number is usually a restricted part. IE we cant easily get them in. Yes there are ways, but this section of the forum isnt the appropriate area for that discussion.

Thats why its hard for us to get frames for pistols, and lower receivers for our rifles.

Wow, learn something new everyday. Those look identical to the SD aftermarket frames.

The design choice for a comp gun is a bit strange because there are less points of contact between the grip and the frame, making the gun itself less solid. Good derail though when the original concern was the legality of importing grips

. At least now we know for sure that hi-capa frames are restricted.

jordan7831 · August 6th, 2012, 14:28

Yep they do look super similar which is why we cant easily get them in. Other wise we wouldnt have crappy can soft guns with smoked lowers.

Check this thread out if you want some cool ideas for STI builds. You will see the so called pimped out 1911s and the STI's with the polymer grips.
