Try this link, this is where my grips came from that are on my Star BM, and they are not expensive. http://www.gungripguys.com/Star/Index.htm
pb, what wood is that? I really like the color.

All the grips I've ordered were checkered. You don't have any problems with smooth grips?

Fritz,

Those look great! I just got a pair of zebrawood for a PA-63.

Congrats,

Bob

Thanks!

They really do look nice. So far no problems with firing it. I hope they hold up. I know others have had their share of problems with Dennis's grips.

There are internal dowels that look like they will provide some extra strength.

I think the P-64 problem was solved when the back height of the grips was reduced.

torpeau,

Its been a while, and they were given to me by a very good friend, but I believe they are either Bocote or Rosewood, but I'm thinking they are Bocote, I remember he said they were only $17 a set. I believe they are hand made by volunteers for a non-profit origination.

Papabear, do you by any chance know the weight of your Star BM empty with the mag in place ?

Not to butt in but I understand from Stephan A. Camp's writings that the Star weights 2.14 lbs empty.
