Personally not crazy about the designs, but someone may be interested in these fiberglass reinforced custom grips. They even have them for the 82's.

If anyone has used these, please give us a review.

I think the white grips on the all black 82 would look classy!

The right combination could be classy. These grips may not suit everyones taste, but can be practical. They are a bit on the pricey side, but hey he offers pink camo glow-in-the-dark grips! Where else ya gonna find that combination? ;D

I ordered a set from Paul @ Designer Grips. I asked for a walnut look. Paul did 3 sets to get just the right look; he sent me pictures of 2 of the sets so I could choose which I liked better. One set was more of a walnut with just a few knots, etc. The other set looked like most of the grip was cut from either burl walnut or from a large dark knot section. I chose the dark knot look because of the "character" it had. They should be in the mail today.
I'll post pics as soon as I can.
Paul impressed me with his concern for a good product and his communications to keep me informed. I would recommend him to anyone wanting grips. If I get a second CZ 82, I'll have him create another set of grips.

Here are the new grips on my CZ 82. They were made by Paul at Designer Grips.

I have to tell everyone, Paul knows what customer service is and delivers. I asked for a walnut look. He kept me informed via email as he worked on my grips. He wanted them to look just right and ended up doing 3 sets before he thought he had a set that would please me. He sent me pictures of the last two; one was the set you see here, in what I would call a burl or knotty walnut. The other set had very few knots or occlusions. It was a hard decision but I went with the set that I thought had more character.

Greysmoke,
they really brighten up the gun.
The more I look at those pics, the more I like the color.
Nice choice for your pistol, hope they are as comfortable as they are good looking.
