    Right handed, large.

    The Hammerli x-esse Sport has an anatomical grip, a friend has the standard grip and is looking to put the anatomical one on his x-esse standard model.

    If someone doesn't have one for sale perhaps they could point me in the right direction. Thanks.

    If you can't get one second-hand, it's either Nill or Rink.

    Click here for Nill or here for Rink.

    Pretty much the same price for either @ €167 :eek:

    Thanks very much for those, I was hoping they weren't the most likely places! Come on Aldi Thursday Special Buys!!

    The shooter's groups were markedly improved with the sport grips, so he'll probably splash out anyway.

    Anyone with a surplus used example?

    If you have a VAT number handy Rink will take that off the cost as it's coming from another Euro country. Saved myself a few bob that way ;)

    Amazing piece of workmanship. I've big farmer's hands - the grip on my FWB was too small, even the XL. This one was beautifully put together. However... in the end, I took it off and built up the original grip with wood filler. No matter how good an off-the-shelf grip is, it wont beat something custom fitted. If I'm ever at an international match and Peter Rink is there, I'll get fitted and buy another immediately. I'd recommend the same approach for a high-end pistols such as your Pardini - build it up yourself and get it perfect.

    However - going back to the OP - a Rink will be great for a gun such as your hammerli. It'll also give it that ISSF look pistol owners are keen to have these days :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Rink is dead sound and will usually have it to you within a few weeks.

    Anyone want to buy a Left Handed XXL Rink grip for a FWB P44??

    Nill grips are brilliant also. The workmanship is really nice. I bought one for my Buckmark, when I still had it. Completely transformed the pistol. This is when I started shooting one handed ISSF competitions. I would have kept it if it had a match trigger like the GSP.

    Thanks for all the help guys/gals. I've sourced in www.euroshooting.eu

    Anyone got the X-esse with the small sport grip, I think the large is the standard fitting? The guy I'm getting this for has tried the large grip and thinks it's a bit too big, I'm just wondering if the small grip is tiny in comparison, I can't find the dimensions online and am still waiting on a mail back from Walther/Hammerli. He doesn't want to go down the route of shaping a grip for himself, despite my advice.
