I’ve seen G-10 grip panels made for a variety of guns for many years, but I haven’t ever tried a set to see what they’re like.
My Kimber Stainless Target II 9mm came with blah looking rubbery grip panels that are an aesthetic fail, so I bought a set of $30 Guuun G-10 panels in grey/black to see how they do.
I chose the factory grip screws as they match the body of the gun nicely over the gloss black ones that came with the grips. Install was as easy as unscrewing the stainless hex screws, adding the O-rings that come with the grips, and installing the screws.
I must say the gun looks a lot better now than when it wore the original grip panels. I also like the cut on the right panel for the thumb to reach the mag release button. I still need to shift my grip a bit to hit it with the thumb of my mid-sized mitts, but it is a tad easier so the grip-shift isn’t as much now as it was with the originals. The grip is good, not as tacky as the rubber panels but comfy enough. I hope to go shoot it on Thursday, I will then see how the gun stays settled in my hands under recoil with these new shoes in place.
Stay safe.
