Beautiful, but I need Simonich Gunner's.  It's hot and sweaty shooting round these parts.

Was actually looking hard at them, but ordering off Amazon and I may still get them if I wind up doing a Tungsten cerakote, which I'm considering.  A fellow Floridian has that combo.   If I really wanted them, I'd order off VZ direct I guess.

It's also not the Gunner grip either.  And yeah, it's on that low-cap, older design from Browning.

Yes, an old school gun like the BHP needs beautiful wood or stag grips. (www.eaglegrips.com) or Nills.

Those are Spegel grips and they are Cocobolo.

I had a pair on my Novak'd BHP but gave them to a friend because for my hand there is nothing quite like the ultra slim Navidrex micarta grips, which Brownell's is now carrying again.

I emailed VZ long ago, when navidrex grips were not available, asking if they had anything comparably thin, but they never got back to me.

As far a LOOKS I do think VZ are top notch. Cross-hatched pattern in brown looks best to me.

I'm a huge Spegel fan. That said regarding VZ the pro slims the picture in this thread with the gray/black are super thin. On the website it claims to be thinner than the mkiii factory grips.

I voted "hyena" but I shoot Glocks and am a soul-less monster.

I have owned and shot BHPs in the past, though.

If Hi-Power grips are the question, Spegels are the answer.

For a carry Hi-Power, the Uncle Mikes rubber grips are superb, but they are hard to find these days.

I didn't know they made a CZ-75B in .40S&W .

???

I bought a couple of matte chromed BHP's.  They still have the cheap black plastic grips:





I am wondering what grips would look good on them.

I have Spegels on one of my Hi-Powers after reading all the internet hype. They have been on that gun for over 10 years, maybe 15.

I am thinking it would look better with those army green stocks in the OP.

I like the Spegels, but they have that palm swell.  For a safe queen or range gun, I'd love some Black Cherry Spegels.  But I wanted as thin as I could get, with the most aggressive grip I could get, which led me to the Simonich Gunner style.
