Here is the other set of faux walnut grips from Paul.  I didn't want to take a pic until I had the refinish completed.

Thought I'd share with you the outstanding service that Paul at Designer Grips (www.designergrips.com) recently provided.  I wanted some way of immediately differentiating between my CZ82 (9mm Mak) and CZ 83 (.380) pistols under low light conditions.

This gave me the excuse to order a set of grips from Paul.  I've been following some of the postings about his grips and decided to go for it.  A different color of grips would provide the easy ID  feature I wanted.  The faux burl walnut seemed to fit the bill; sufficiently different in color from the factory black grips while at the same time keeping a somewhat "standard issue" appearance.

I ordered the grips on a Friday, and Paul worked on them over the weekend so he could ship on Monday.  I don't know where else you can get that kind of service!  He even sent some photos of them just before shipping.

The grips look great and fit the CZ 83 perfectly.  I also tried them on the two CZ 82's and they fit those pistols perfectly.  Although they are plastic, they seem more solid than the factory grips.

If I can figure out how to post photos of the grips I will do so.

I've been thinking about replacing my "lost" CZ 83, but had been putting it off.  Now that I see these grips I'm convinced that my life is not complete without another one.  Do any of you know where I might find a nickel CZ 83 in 9 x 18?

This is the beauty I traded off and now regret:

Otto, that one is nice. Sorry you "lost" your nickle 83 Mak. I picked up an 82 Mak & 83 380acp not too long ago. I ended up selling my Beretta 84BB because the CZ's fit my hands better. I think they are nicer looking too! ;D  I will keep an eye out for you and let you know if I run across one.
