Here's a new idea to bull around with for your fusion. Replace your current grips with ones from a similar screw pattern. Personally, I like the soft, 3-sided grips of my PMR. So, I tried to put 'em on my Fusion. Nope. Tried the grips from my Ion. Almost . VL Triton ones didn't work either, and Pilot grips suck. My plan was to buy Dye Stickys that fit my Ion if the Ion grips would fit the Fusion, stuff along that line. Any of you guys know of a soft grip that may fit the fusion, or do I have to ghetto rig some?

I have traitor series grips on it now. Looks doesn't bother me, its the feel I want to improve. I'll see if the Pilot grips will fit, if they do, then I can just order Spyder Stickies.

Without ghetto mods, there are no aftermarket grips aside from the ones that DP makes. I looked on Hybrid's website, and they didn't have grips listed under Fusion, but they may make some. For Spyder grips to fit, you would have to drill new holes into the right place and then put some clear device such as plexi glass over the light in order to see it, and that doesn't even take size into account of the grips. Just buy new ones, its much easier.

Your're right. Maybe some soft grip will be made in the future. I just don't like the stiffness of the stock ones.

I'm not exactly sure if the aftermarket DP grips are the same material as the stock ones, but if not, you can get those. The stock Fusion grips aren't that bad, if you were thinking about replacing them with stock Spyder grips then you're crazy. :crazy:

These guys do custom grips, all of those patterns will fit Fusions. You call them up and they will do a custom job on your grips to your preference. and It's only $35. great deal I'm looking to get some soon.

Just based on looking at some pics (I don't have a Fusion) Spyder grips won't fit, they have 3 holes and look more like Matrix grips. Fusion looks like standard 45, whats the problem though? Did DP space out the holes or something? I hate when companies go against a standardized thing like that..

The closest kind of grips to fit I could find were the stock ion ones. Eh, I just wear gloves.:sleep:

:laugh: I don't think you understood. Allow me to clarify gently.
IF... Spyder grips pattern = Fusion grips pattern THEN....
Spyder Dye Stickies = Fusion Dye Stickies WHICH MEANS.....
I can buy Spyder Dye Stickies and they will fit.
BUT...
At the time I said that, I didn't think about that extra hole.
I never said I would use the stock Spyder grips, however.:P

I guess I misread then, I just read Spyder grips going onto Fusion.

Dark Seoul on PBNation makes custom grips (he supplies stingerz paintball designs) his are just basic colors, but they are only $25 instead of stingerz $35. here is a link to his PBN thread
http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?t=1857719
I have them on all my guns, except my Mini (I am still waiting for the Mini to arrive, but once it does I am getting some stingerz ones done for it).
