I never cared for them as they had too much bite for me. I dug threw my T-grips for my recently acquired M65 and all I had were blued. I started looking for grips and came across the VZ's that have very minor texture, no finger grooves and are just slightly longer in the front for good "pinky" grasp. They just feel about perfect in my hand.

I agree with you. The VZ grips I've tried felt good, and they looked good.

Yeah those VZs look like they grew on that 3" 65. Excellent choice.

Nice set up. I have a set of VZ grips on a M15 that are great in the hand.

I love the double diamond model on 1911"s. The color they call moccasin and the black washed turbo screws seal the deal.

No labels on the inside of my P229 Carry grips, but they have the look and feel of VZs. I suspect they were made by VZ.

Have been trying to find a good set of grips for a Ruger SP101 for some time now. Tried the Hogue and Pachmayr Diamond Pro and while both are "okay", neither one really feels perfect in the hand.

Looked at the VZ grips and called them today to get some measurements, apparently they have a good thickness across the backstrap to protect the web of your hand and long enough to get a good grip on them, so just ordered a set of their 320 grips in black with silver hardware like yours.

Will post some pics when they get here.



If they worked well I was going to try a set for a S&W J-frame Model 35 but they only make them for round butt Smiths and the 35's all are SB. Phooey.

Looking forward to what you think as my SP101 needs grips.

Had them on two 1911's, but I had eczema so bad at the time they were tearing my strong hand up. So I sold them off. I would buy another set now, if I found a need.

Look great and nice that they work for you. I do not like finger grooves nor checkering or coarse textures on a revolver. That's just me. A favorite for me were the now defunct Ahrend's retro-bananas.
