Looks pretty ergonomic and it's Izhmash marked. Has anyone tried this and can give feedback?

Thanks

Its an ok grip, best if you have big hands; there is another version with finger grooves.
I personally prefer the Bulgarian ARM-9 grip or the US PALM grip; you may also like the Galil style grip.

Bonesteel has it cheaper, but they're back-ordered, so it must be popular.

Here is Ronin's Grips:

The Bonesteel version of the grip (Its called the Molot grip):

Thanks, not a fan of finger grooves in general, and I my hands are pretty average sized but I do prefer a hand-filling grip. How does it compare to the US Palm?

I like the Izzy grip and I have average sized hands.  Grips are a personal thing and everybody has their own preferences.

It's a fatter, straighter grip than the US PALM, and while it has texturing, it isn't stippling.
When I say fatter, I mean it actually has circumference as opposed to the flat-ish US PALM; it doesn't force your hand upward like the US PALM either.

I love those grips;  They fit my hand much better than the old school popsicle grips that AK's have had forever.  However if you mount one on a sidefolder gun which has the reinforcement plate installed, there will be a slight gap visible.  Its mainly cosmetic, as I didn't feel the gap with my hand.  Look at the top of the grip in this photo:



The waterproof storage compartment grip made in Russia by Squal, has a removable adapter to keep the top of the grip flush with the receiver on guns with that plate installed.  It too is a comfortable grip, but hard to find.
