JeffPeterson Posted October 6 Posted October 6 Can somebody identify what GHP this is? I've not seen a stamped handled before. Quote
BenMorrissey Posted October 7 Posted October 7 (edited) GHP handles are stamped underneath, to assist with identifying which level they are if the stickers are removed/get lost. Looks like there is some glue residue on the handle end. Based on the appearance, I believe this is a gen 1 GHP 7 gripper, but I would need to see the full handle (including top) to confirm.

Jared P Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Should be easy to differentiate between Gen 1 and Gen 2. Gen 1 GHPs have thicker bands around the handles, and a completely smooth/rounded edge on the top of the handles. Gen 2 GHPs have a beveled/sharper edge on the top of the handles. 3 1 Quote 143 DS | 136 MMS | 119 CCS Training grippers since: 7/6/21, 38 CoC Sport
C8Myotome Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Looks gen 2 cause of the thin lines 1 Quote 186 PB350 MMS, 183 CoC 3.5 MMS, 180 CoC 3.5 38 mm, 178 GHP8 30 mm, 175 GHP8 CCS
Slipshod Posted October 7 Posted October 7 I already made a comment about how to tell them apart on your 130 gripper thread 1 1 Quote
degradated Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Some of them are missing stickers, so it could have had either a GHP plastic logo or an American flag. Here's an easier way to differentiate, Jeff. Attached is a photo of a GHP2 gen.1 (right) and GHP2 gen.2 (left). You can see that the top of the handle knurling doesn't wrap up into a smooth radius like the Gen 1 but it's rather jagged. Even more apparent are the thinner lines for the finger grooves. Hold it up to any of your special editions and if it's got thinner lines, it's a Gen 2. 3 Quote -Ryan Shinvill- 43 | 6'3" | 198 lbs Achievements: TNS: 1̶1̶7̶ CCS: 1̶2̶4̶ MMS: 1̶3̶5̶ ̶ DS: 1̶4̶4̶ IM Hub: 6̶6̶.̶6̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ IM Block: 8̶0̶.̶6̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ GG Hilt: 1̶9̶0̶.̶4̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ GM-150: 2̶4̶0̶.̶9̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ 2025/26 Goals: MM160 Cert, CoC3 Cert, CTD Cert, 265+ on GM150 IG
Alex K Posted October 10 Posted October 10 (edited) This is a Gen 1 GHP7, 100% guaranteed. On the second handle with the flag sticker (Gen2) the handle is flat and has no number stamped on it. Plus, the lines appear to be way thicker than on Gen2 Edited October 10 by Alex K 7 1 Quote Gripper enthusiast 🤠 Check me out on Instagram: instagram.com/alexkgrip
B1ackD3ath Posted October 12 Posted October 12 + gen1, thick bands on knurling for 'fingers' handle, little pit-placement for second silicone sticker(removed). Stamp on gen2 under silicone sticker, not under the flag one. Even last sticker discoloration whispers: i'm so damn old and nice like wine😀 Quote
C8Myotome Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Yeah this is gen 1 I originally looked at just the lines and the handle was angled making them look thinner. The rounded edge does indicate gen 1. Quote 186 PB350 MMS, 183 CoC 3.5 MMS, 180 CoC 3.5 38 mm, 178 GHP8 30 mm, 175 GHP8 CCS

But they function and feel exactly the same, aside from looks differences. The gen 2 has 1 of those, and a sticker (boring) and the other 2 described differences above 1 Quote 186 PB350 MMS, 183 CoC 3.5 MMS, 180 CoC 3.5 38 mm, 178 GHP8 30 mm, 175 GHP8 CCS
