Best Grips for BHP?

[Northslope Nimrod]

I hanled a Hi-Power the other day with Hogue grips with finger grooves and palm swells. I really liked the feel... but I don' need the palm swells.

I have small hands...must be thin.
I want finger gooves.
It needs to be rubber...or some other 'sticky' material.
I will settle for slip over grips, but grips that attach would look better.
I'm a cheap sucker...so it must be inexpensive.

Thus, recommend the best slip over grip and the best non slip-over grip.
Also, WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO BUY THEM? (cheapest)

I'm not aware of anything with finger grooves being any thinner than the Hogues. Maybe there is something but I'm not aware of it?

Houges really the only way to go.

You should be able to get them for under $20 shipped.

Personally I like the Navidrex Grips for my Hi-powers. They are super thin and the pattern makes for a very tacky grip without the rubber feeling.

Keep the suggestions coming...

But, don't forget to mention...WHERE I can get them?

Brownell's want $21 plus about 4.50 for shipping for the Hogues.

Where can I get them for under $20 shipped?

Craig Spegel makes, bar none, the best HP grips.

You can get them from Lightning Arms

edit... I didn't see the cheap sucker part, so don't even look at the price.

I know you want cheap, but grips are part of the gun. A good gun deserves good grips and a good holster.

Esmeralda 1/2 checkered are nice.

I can honestly say I have no idea what they are...but the grips on my fathers' Hi-Power are probably my favorite. They are nice and wide which helps with the size of my hand and with having a nice presentation of the pistol when it's drawn.

He bought it in '69 and replaced the grips then so I'm at a loss for what they are and I don't think I have any pictures taken of the backstrap that show the thickness...but he did say that it got the attention of suspects when he was a LEO during a period of a lot of riots.

I have small hands and those rubber finger grooves felt big for me..they also look like crap....I found these at cdnninvestments for 30 bucks...a slight palm swell but thin...and they look great.

There was a recent post regarding this years introduction of BHP grips made by Alumagrips. I can't seem to find the post , if someone else saw and remembers it perhaps they could post it. From the pictures it showed, they looked amazingly good.

EDIT: Here's the THR post I was referring to. Link:Soon-to-be-introduced Hi-Power grips
These are available now.
