Grip texture of Hakan grips

[Bulldawg165]

How does the grip texture on Hakan's wood grips compare to VZ tactical diamonds?

Also, how thin are they? Can he make them similar in size to the stock rubber grips but with more texture/grippiness than full checkered coco bolo grips?

His work looks amazing but I wanted to check about some of the other qualities you can't see just from a picture. Oh and this would be for a CZ 75 PCR

Wow. Nothing in almost a week. Really guys? Guess this part of the forum doesn't get much traffic. Could a mod maybe movethis to the general discussion forum?

I don't own any Haken Grips but I would recommend contacting Haken himself. Tell him what you're looking for and maybe he can help  According to his forum profile, he hasn't been active here since May 7th 2010...  That can't be right.... Do be patient. Not the fastest turn-around I hear, even with emails, but all I hear and see is that he does amazing work...

Wish I could be of more assistance.

From his Website;

Quality worth waiting for.

Important Note: At this time I am making a 'waiting list' for customers interested in my grips. Due to the hand-made nature of my product, coupled with increased demand for my services, I am unable to commit to a rapid delivery for new orders. For patient customers, please send me your email address and an idea of what you would like to order. I will add your name and email to my list and contact you as soon as other orders have been filled.

Please contact me via email at hakanpek@online.no for prices, options and delivery information. Airmail to USA from Norway takes about 8-10 days.

Safe shooting,

Thanks guys!  Yeah, I emailed him a few days ago and haven't heard anything back yet so we'll see how it goes.

Riptide, those look awesome!  How does the shape/thickness compare to the factory rubber grips?  Does it have the palm swell?  Also, how does the texture feel?  I have some cocobolo full checker grips, is the texture on your hakan grips more "grippy" than that?  What about compared to the VZ tactical diamonds?

Thanks again for posting.

They are great grips. Ever so slightly thicker then stock grips. There is a slight palm swell. Texture is very nice but that is very individual. I have a pair of smooth carbon fiber grips also that I like - thicker but still nice to shoot with. Little more hi-tech look.
