I've been in the market for grips for my new 625 for sometime now, as the original grips didn't suit me. They were designed for speed and competition, but were not comfortable for casual target shooting, IMO.
I've had experience with Craig Spegel's stocks and have had three pairs. The quality is excellent on those, but I wanted something different.
I've heard nothing but positive feedback on the Ahrends grips, so I gave Kim a call. He spent quite a bit of time discussing his philosophy on design, and the character of the woods he uses. He has a very engaging personality, and quite pleasant to speak with.
I opted for the finger-grip round to square conversion in Moradillo. He said that this particular Brazilian exotic is what Walnut was supposed to be. I gave him an idea of the color and graining that I was after, and that I would like them book-matched. Needless to say, he came through with flying colors.
Take a look and you decide...
