Any thick Hi Power wood grips?

Does anyone make/sell beautiful exotic wood grips for the Hi Power that are NOT significantly less wide than those that came on my Standard model?

A big deal is usually made about the thinness of the Spegel and Ahrends grips. But with my short fingers I reach the trigger of the Hi Power very easily. I put Ahrends grips on it (they are gorgeous and I'm sure worth the pennies) and it seems like a lot more work to get a good grip on the gun now. Much less room for the support hand. In addition, my support thumb tends to get chewed on by the small pin above the trigger.

If I were to lapse into cynicism, I'd think that these guys are just trying to use as little of the expensive exotic wood as possible, and making it sound like a smaller grip size on a Hi Power is a "feature".

Any leads? Maybe I'll call Ahrends and Spegel and ask for more wood. . . .

Many thanks,

Hogue 's wooden panels are reasonably thick, are smooth, and look and feel fine to me. This is a very subjective thing, however!I have large hands, and prefer these to the Pachmayr rubber grips. I don't like the hogue rubber grips at all. IMHO.

2cats,

I hope you find a source. I've seen photos of Hogue's, but they just didn't grab me. While I have somewhat small hands, I find the grips on the HiPower standard are perfect for my hand.

Bob C: I will begin rifling the Hogue web page. I believe with Hogue one has an option of smooth or checkered.

Any other options, that might grab Joe better and provide yet another alternative for me?

Thanks!
