The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

Well i broke down and ordered the wood p83 grips from grips4u and i have to say i am pleased. The grips are beautiful. (Checked everywhere else/wrote EVERYONE else for grips to no avail). My only issue is the rear of the slide extends about an 1/8 of an inch in a small portion. Other than that....wow. i read about a pair breaking on someone so i decided to have them sent off to be "stabilized". The grips are thicker on the sides and less bulk in the heel. It shaves off a good 1/4 which feels better in my 6'1" slim, but not small hands. What a difference in the feel of the gun. .So good that i decided to send the wood grips off to Tillander Grips to have David make me a high impact resin set for my other p83. He is going to make a slight modification to accommodate the over reaching slide but i will update.

here is a photo

Yes very nice looking!

Your hands are 6'1" big? Good lord man, you belong in the Guinness book. That gun must disappear in your grip

Yes, I may have made a slight error in my punctuation. If that bothers you then you should perhaps capitalize "Lord" then put a comma directly after it. Are you beginning a new sentence after "man"? If so, you need a period and then capitalize "You". You may want to capitalize "Book" as well and utilize the full name as that is a formal name for the Guinness Book of World Records. That is, of course, unless you are refering to the beer? I'll fix my error if you fix your three.

Any comment on the actual original post?

Your grips are major cool. Something to ponder!

Marschal has a prototype set of P83 walnut grips on his website. I also ordered the wood Grips4U grips, because I liked the checkering pattern better than Marschals, but both are nice grips.

Mine should arrive next week, not much difference in the price.
