I just finished some walnut grips for my newly aquired P7. They took a bit more work than I had planned, but it was still a fun project.

| Very nice looking grips. Now you know why the Nill grips are so expensive. I noticed your grips do not extend up under the slide like the HK and Nill grips do. I cannot imagine having to do that sort of woodwork by hand and understand why you did not try to do that. It is not near as easy as one thinks it is to make a set of grips for a complicated design like the P7. Want to really pull your hair out, make a set for the P9S! |

They were tough. It would probably be easier to machine an aluminum insert and bond it to a flat panel. I cut the basic frame indentations
on a bridgeport. You have to cut everything proud, and whittle/dremel away until it fits. The issue with that is there is interference everywhere, and you still have to transfer the screw holes to the correct location. I wouldn't make money selling them for what the commercial guys sell them for. I'm sure they are far superior to mine/they better be. I don't think program cut grips should be as expensive as they are either though. |
