Earthenbox Grips

[ToddSig]

Has anyone ordered any of the Earthenbox Grips from Etsy?

They remind me of the Turkish KSD grips. They all appear to ship from Turkey, so they very well could be very similar, if not the same.

They have 128 different grip styles to select from, many far to extreme for my taste, but hey to each their own. Some cut for single safety, others for an ambi. Most for $35.00 shipping included.

I might order a pair to see what the fit and quality are like. If anyone has ordered a pair, please post your thoughts.

Then click on the Belgian Browning link on the left menu bar.

I've never ordered off of Etsy... let us know how they are.
Ottoman grips for my Tisas? Interesting!

I ordered a couple of sets of the Earthenbox grips offered on the Etsy sight. They were shipped from Turkey, and took just about a month for them to produce and ship. They shipped from Turkey by DHL to the US, and then through the USPS. Had tracking numbers for both. Because of some of the storms about two weeks ago, I think there was a bit of a shipping delay. The cost was $35 per pair of grips shipped. They are not bad, are laser cut and fit well. The top of the checkering is a bit flat so they feel more smooth. I ordered a set cut for an ambi safety, and the other set for a single safety. The single safety is thin and flat, the ambi grips are slightly thicker and have a little more curvature to them.

Fit was fine, with no adjustments necessary for either pair but they are rather flush to the frame edges. I have some Turkish KSA grips, and these are very similar. The price point is great, but my preference for grips remains more traditional, with the OEM grips, Spegels (no other grips feel they way they do), Hogue and Micarta These two sets will probably just land in the miscellaneous grip box for now. All in all, not bad grips for the money.

A few images, and then mounted on an 80 sport and 2001 sport.

Not sure why, but nothing appears on the listing or search on the site for Belgian or Browning.

Maybe you bought the only two they had or wanted to make!

Jonnyc, not sure what happened, I just looked and there are no Browning grips on the Etsy site. When I purchased a month ago there were pages of them. If you are interested in any of the grips, try using the contact button on the Etsy sales page.
