I, too, emailed Hakan back on January 31, but have had no response from him. Hopefully, he's not sick again. Sam with Omega is another good source for grips. I got an immediate response to my inquiry and have placed a custom order with him.

Hakan has been dealing with health issues for the past 8 months or so that have put him behind.  He is still putting out grips, so be patient.

At least one of our resident Cz smiths is also running a 6 month backlog or so.  I guess the word about Cz's is finally starting to get out.

As Cavejac pointed out, another resident grip maker is Omega..

Omega's work is also very nice and worth a look.  As far as I know, both respect each other's work.  I haven't heard one thing negative about either's work.

Hi Folks,

I really appreciate everyone's concern regarding my situation...thanks a lot. I stil make grips but I give the priority to the previous orders I had. I had to stop taking orders for a while due to the uncertainty of the health situation, but now that I know it's going to be with me for a long time, I started to take orders again with the caution of some wait time. This is due to my production tempo is not being same as before because I have a dilemma of deciding whether I'll have a painless or productive day...every day. I can't work with the machines when I use medicine. I often choose the productive day, but these days are unfortunatelly (for you guys) followed by couple of painless days.

Also, I haven't been too clever in responding all of my e mails lately due to the reasons I've mentioned(plus I had tech. probs for couple of weeks)...I'm trully sorry for that. But even they're long overdue I'm replying them at least to explain the things.

So...I'm here and hang'n on...taking orders for those who has no problem with waiting and I do deliver the grips to the patient ones.


Regards,

Hakan.
