There are many beautiful woods in the world. I'm trying to make it though many of them in my lifetime. Still probably won't even make a dent in what's possible out there.

That's old school craftsmanship, you put pride in your work and it shows, great looking grips, Got anything for a taurus titanium, heres a pic,http://www.smallarmsreview.com/pdf/taurus.pdf, thanks,

I'm glad that this was 'bumped' back to the forum...I hadn't see these before...very nice.

I have purchased several sets from Esmaralda's site (found in 'Related Links'), but Sarge, these are really unique...

Very nice, indeed!

Question for Sarge43? Do you have model gun or gun grips that you work off of? How do you Mold and shape without the gun present? I not likely that some with ship you a gun to work with? Just basic inquiry.

Thank, EMPwhat

I have weapons for the govs adn bobs. I do not have an EMP, but worked with an EMP owner, giving him a new set of grips in exchange for mailing back and forth with me to get a solid template made that fits teh EMP frame better than stock. It took a few tries, but we succeeded, and I can use that template to replicate new grips.
Other grips that I want to do, I have already purchased weapons to use - Hi-Power, and the HK P7. I also plan on picking up a seecamp and a PPK. I'll get others as interest in them rears its head.

Grips for a Hi-Power AND a P7?!? Let me know when you are ready to start on those! I know a whole bunch of P7 owners would love another source for grips.

Autofan,
As time allows I'm getting the new machinery set up. I actually got it set up in the shop and got the software registered. Now I just have to find time to play with it and figure out the best way to get it to do what I want it to do. Believe me, I want to get those grips out as soon as I can, but I also want them to be right and worth having.

Thanks for keeping my motivated.

Any updates on the P7 or BHP grips?

Sarge43 · October 15th, 2009, 09:56 AM

I was going to PM you, but thought there might be others interested as well, so here goes.....
BHP grips - I've actually made up a couple of "test sets" and sent them out to people who have had BHP's in their collections for years, and have many variations. They are giving me invaluable input on how to improve the grips to make them ideal. Another round of sets will go out with the improvments made and further input given. Once we get them as perfect as possible, I will add them to the line.
P7 grips - I've purchased a P7 to use for fitting the grips to, and have also purchased a CNC machine to help with the backs of the panels where those evil engineers made all those recesses that vary by 1/1000" each. This would allow me to duplicate the backs and still do the rest of the process by hand (what I really enjoy).
Here's the main "problem" with both of these grips - the 1911 grips have REALLY taken off and are keeping me running non stop. Despite knocking my day job down to 4 days a week, I STILL don't have time to branch out like I would like to. In fact that fancy and expensive machine I bought, has never even been turned on. It's still sitting on the workbench in the original sealed plastic.
I will get these two lines moving as time allows. I am seriously considering making the grip thing a full time venture which will give me much more time for this type of thing.
Hope this answers the questions.
Thanks!
