Specifically I've been drooling over the ones available at Midwest Gun Works (http://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/PROD/A-02-G-24/BN011), but recently I realized they are LEFT hand only! Doh! Is anyone aware of something similar available anywhere else? Or where might I find something like this used?

Nill's grips come to mind, they are pricey though.

$230 for these ones:

Those look almost exactly like the ones from Midwest. Nice! I've been shooting in a Bullseye league with my Buckmark 5.5 Target and doing pretty well, but my grips (big Browning wood with finger grooves) have always bugged me a little. I don't know if it's worth $230 to try those though. Yikes.

If you only want one set of grips, find the biggest Buckmark wood grips you can buy...and carve 'em to fit your hand. Tweak them in a dozen different ways; skateboard tape, para-cord, Bondo, checker, stipple, whatever. Make them ugly, the more the better. Serious target firearms (much like race cars) aren't supposed to be beautiful, your SCORES are supposed to be! There's a certain, strange intimidation-factor to your competition when you shoot a really ugly gun. I have a scarred, worn, sticker-covered Perazzi that (just seeing it) says "I've been doing this a l-o-n-g time & I've come to beat you if I can". Sometimes...I DO! Have some fun with it. Isn't that why we shoot in the 1st place?

What grips do you have on the gun now?

I ask because I got the "Plus" version with the Rosewood stocks many years ago, as soon as I picked the gun up it snuggled down into my hand and purred. I've replaced the stocks on nearly every pistol I've ever owned, but not those. In fact, everyone who handles or shoots that gun comments on how good the grips feel.

I don't know what the Rosewood grips from Browning cost, but they're a durn sight cheaper than the Nils!

It's tempting to try to make my own from blocks of wood or some other moldable material. There's not much to the back side of the grips that are on there. I just don't trust my skills! :) That and I don't have a ton of spare time to devote to something like that.

The grips I have look about like these (http://www.pistolgrips-plus.com/pistol/browning/item_1101006.html) but don't have the little protrusion or thumb shelf thing, they are more matte looking and they have a browning logo. I have big hands and when I bought the pistol I thought they felt pretty good. Two handed, they do, but shooting bullseye with one hand they just feel a little too big. They look so nice I don't know if I could bring myself to carve them up either.

I also have a set of the rubber coated browning grips. My wife likes those since it makes the pistol really fit her small hands. For me they're a little too small.

For the difference between the cost of the grips and something like a Baikal IZH35M, maybe I should just go for a dedicated bullseye pistol. The only question would be, which is the better way to go?

If you have the tools available (ie. more that x-acto knife and sandpaper) then I'd say try and make your own grips, then file them down as needed. I bet it would be cheaper and more rewarding than buying a set that you will have to cut up anyway.
I have a pair of cheap rubber grips from MGW coming in, I'll be trying to add material here and there, to make thumbs-forward shooting a bit bearable.
