Alumagrips are also excellent if you like aggressive grips. They are very thin, very strong and adds a nice balance to the pistol.

I always felt that the alumgrips where too thick. They are not much thinner than the old walnut grips are they?

Here is what a BHP looks like with the stock walnut.



Here is a pic of one with Naviderix slims.





Here is another good pic: Naviderix on the left Spegels which are thin on the right. Notice the tapper on the Naviderix. They are paper thin at the front of the grip strap. I really love the feel of them and I own Spegels and the Spegel designed Uncle Mikes grip.

I have Esmerlda grips on my Practical and my beer can rear sight 1971 (with the original red inside ones put up!) but on my FIGHTING MK 2 I have OD Alumagrips which are slightly thinner but hell for stout and fairly aggressive in the checkering. I think they add strength to the weakest area of the BHP , IMHO.

I don't have pictures like you do but the Alumagrips are in between the Naviderix and wood stocks. They are definitely thinner than wood stocks and don't have any palm swells but not as thin as the Naviderix.

Not to resurrect an old thread (actually, yeah, just cause), but a FN Hi-Power being fired by yours truly aboard a Belgian vessel off of Africa. Have some pics of shooting the FNC as well. Didn't really enjoy the FNC that much.
