Renegade Browning Hi Power Wood Grips

I got these to spruce up a tired old FEG P9M, which is a Hungarian P35 clone from the 1980s. Fit and finish is great, everything lined up right, and it looks like a million bucks now. The deep brown rosewood color really compliments the patina-worn bluing of the old HP clone and the thinner width makes it much easier to hold and control while shooting. My uncle was a general in a South American army and this really makes it look like the fancy Hi-Power he used to carry back in the day.

Great product for the hi power

When fitting these to a Girsan MC P35 the grips don't quite cover the grip frame all the way, leaving the mainspring housing partially exposed. Enough so that you can actually look inside and see the mainspring. A gap that big will let lint, grit, and other foreign matter into the mainspring. Also, when you fit these to a Girsan the way they're supposed to, the hole for the screw doesn't line up with the threading. To properly fit these to a Girsan you have to back the grips up a bit to line up the hole, then angle the grips forward to fully cover the side of the frame. In short, these require a bit of finagling to properly fit a Girsan clone of the BHP. All that said, the grips themselves ARE high quality. The wood has a nice grain on the inside, the checkering is well done, and they have a very handsome presentation. If you have an original BHP, I imagine these will be a perfect fit. If you have a clone, like I do, be prepared to fiddle with them a bit.

Finish is nice, the grips protrude past the heel of the frame and wobble a bit. Not a deal breaker and it just might be my pistol. Still better than the cracked and worn originals.

Unlike previous reviews, these fit on my Girsan MC P35 perfectly without any modification. Also, they're super thin for wood grips, which I like. I've never had a Pachmayr product that didn't fit and look great.

Every other set of grips (including Pachmayr's rubber wrap-around grips) for the Browning Hi-Power / P35 design (and clones) pistol are squared off right under the thumb safety, so when the safety is off (down) it actually sits right on top of the grips. This makes it hard to hook your thumb under the safety lever to engage the safety, so you must press on the side of the safety lever to engage it using friction. For those who put thousands of rounds through their carry pistol doing training and practice, this really tends to wear out and tear up your thumb. These grips have the tops cut away at the rear to allow lots of clearance around the thumb safety, so you can easily hook your thumb under the safety lever to engage the safety. Check the design on all the others - VZ, Hogue, etc, etc. They're all squared off under the safety lever. These grips are super-thin, very pretty, and greatly improve the ergonomics of the P35. I've seen others comment that the medallions pop off, but mine have stayed put so far. If they pop off a drop of epoxy cement will fix them for good.

Looked good in package, but cheaply made and didn't fit or feel right. Made in China. The Pachmayr 1911 rubber wrap around grips in the same order were proudly made in USA. Amazon should be up front about country of origin.

These are very nice quality grips and fit very well with no modification onto a Browning (Fabrique National Belgium )Hi power No way to beat the price either.

実銃用なのでマルシン製のブローニングハイパワーには装着不可です！ スクリュー穴とか凹凸具合とかそんな細かな事では無くて全てが違う。 全くダメ！ タナカのブローニングハイパワーにはイイ感じで装着出来ます☆ 流石パックマイヤーで実銃用☆ 文句無しで決まりました☆
