Was just noodling around on Amazon for Hi Power accessories and spotted Zib Grips. These are the typical Turkish, laser cut hardwood grips. They have a wide selection, priced mostly around $33.00 with free delivery. There is also about a $3 discount at check-out. If you go to the Zib website, the grips are mostly marked down by 20%, selling at $24.00 per set. Can't beat the prices if the quality is there. I have found many of the Turkish grips to be OK, I have ordered from KSD and few other sellers. These are more reasonably priced than most. I might order a set, probably use Amazon as a little safer for CC info. Have an HPC members tried them? Zib store On Amazon (the Zib store link seems to redirect to the Amazon home page. When there, just search for Zib grips, click on a set of grips, then click the link for the Zib store) www.amazon.com/stores/page/DB810CB8-23B2-46B4-96E7-8EEB8A70FE77?ingress=2&visitId=332e224f-2244-490e-b610-c13e6a4d24fd&ref_=ast_blnon Zib website allgungrips.com/collections/browning-high-powerScreen grab

Thanks for bringing these to our attention, Todd.
It's something how many BHP grip options are available these days - and it seems many of them came about after the sad, untimely, unjust end of FN's High Power production. However, I am grateful & glad that more people are making BHP grips.
Todd, please let us know about the grips if you get a set. - Thanks, Bob
Edit; PS: I recently bought a set of KSD grips and they went right on a forged frame w/out fitting. Lined-up well along the edges and didn't interfere with the thumb safety (single-side unit made from Mk3 ambi).

I did just receive my recent order from KSD on two sets of checkered black acrylic grips. I have several hard chrome Hi Powers, both stock and custom, and black/ebony grips always look great against the silver toned finish. The KSD grips went on without any adjustments, and I like the way they look. They feel good in the hand, not too thick, and not aggressively textured either. Bob Cogan at APW is probably one of the best, if not the best Hard Chrome applicator, and does great Hi Power work. Both Hi Powers below are from Bob's shop. The top is an alloy with adjustable Kensights, brushed flats and matte rounds. The other is a Hi Power Bob cut down to Detective size for me. (in the images the brushed flats are hard to see, just my sh***Y photo skills) Both with the new KSD black acrylic checkered grips.
