    I bought the 22a and the standard grips are awful, virtually impossible to get good aftermarket wooden grips for it, even Nils dont make them anymore.

    I had heard the after market grips were quite bad. They don't look too comfy. The Hammerli Grips look far better.

    Like rrpc said though, don't expect any factory or off-the-shelf grip for any pistol to be perfect when you pick it up.

    Hell, half the ISSF pistols don't even try, you basicly get given a finished pistol attached to a woodworking project kit when you buy one :D

    (well, it's not quite that bad, but I don't think I've ever seen a pistol being used in national or higher competition that hadn't had some carving or building up done, not unless it was a club pistol).

    The Hammerli ones seem to be a little closer to the mark; for me at least.

    Sparks You must be talking about the lump of 4X2 on the Izzy :D
    Although I had to go at my Marschall grip with a dremel and some wood filler just to get it to point in the right direction. :)
