Hakans 1911 Grips!!!!!!

[45R]

I've been conversing with Hakan for the last month or so about a set of grips for the 1911.

This is the product of our little talk.

I'm not sure if pictures do these grips justice but here they are on a Kimber Custom II Target.

Here is the other side. I also wanted to say that he was very pleasant to work with.

Thanks
Hakan

Everyone else enjoy!!!

Classy! I like the Ahrend's style smooth/textured split.

Here's my Valtro with Hakan's GORGEOUS 1911 grips in flame birch:

These grips are extraordinarily thin.

Those darn scandanavians with their birch...

Seriously though, very nice looking grips.

You're lucky. when I wanted some for my 1911, he'd not started doing them yet. Now I've got both my 1911s very well gripped (Gunner Grip & Alumagrip) so I'll have to be happy with the Hakan's on my CZ

 

[Kahr carrier]

Nice Grips.

 

[BilltheCat]

OMG!

How do I get hold of that guy to make some for me?!

 

[Tamara]

Howdy, Mr. TheCat!

[BilltheCat]

I just got a set of grips from Hakan, they were well worth the wait (not to mention he's a very nice guy to deal with). Actually, I posted this on the CZ Forum.....Hakan deserves all the exposure he can get.

Those 1911 grips are sweet

 

[BilltheCat]

He doesnt list the 1911's yet!

I really do like those flame wood ones tho....

no icon for lust! this will have to do!

 

[MiniZ]

Sigh....

I cannot save any money with this hobby..I have found another "must have".

That said, Hakan is THE MAN. He's one of the few people who still makes his products one at a time, by hand. The woods he uses are gorgeous, and his customer service is top notch.

Today I hit the range with my CZ 75B with the Kadet .22LR upper and Hakan's stocks:



Suffice it to say, when people stop by my lane, this gun is the first (and often last) they ask about - I swear, it's the Hakan stocks.

They are more comfortable than the Hogue wrap-around grip I used to use.

What more can I say? GET A GRIP.

Sven, those 1911 grips gave me the same reaction as the dirty movie I was watching earlier today.

 

[PCRCCW]

Hakans work is absolutey the best....
Ive gotten around 5-6 pairs from him...
His character as a gentleman comes through in his work......
"Hey Buddy"......email me.....
Jesse says "Hi".......
Shoot well...

I just made a few updates to Hakan's website.





Hakan's Custom Wood Stocks

 

[Stephen A. Camp]

Hello. Here are the Hakan Pek grips on my '70's Gov't Model. Note that while part of the stocks are smooth, the stippling does meet the fingers. The grip felt plenty secure. Fit is just fine.

Best.

 

[45R]

I love that guys work!

 

[Shmackey]

Hakan's the coolest. When did he start making 1911 grips? I feel like I missed the memo.

 

[arinvolvo]

For some reason I cant get into the way the textured part of the wood looks....

But those flame birch ones are the friggin poo!

Absolutely awesome looking.
