Hogue Hi Power Stocks
Hello. Like many others, I've used Spegel Hi
Power grips for years and find them both comfortable and good looking. I
also continue to have a fondness for the original checkered ones that came
on the classic style Hi Powers as well as today's Standard Model based on
the Mk III "chasis". Hakan Pek's stocks have also proven elegant and
comfortable but I finally got around to trying a set of Hogue's "fancy
hardwood" grips for the Hi Power.
For those who might be interested, both the selection and pricing can be
found here:

These are checkered Pau Ferro wood. Fit is fine and they do not move when
in place. Neither do they protrude into the magazine well and bind against
the magazine.
Here's the other side. Though I use only a single-side thumb safety,
these will work with the extended ambidextrous thumb safety which comes
standard on the current crop of Hi Power pistols.
To me, the feel is as good as any other Hi Power stocks I've tried, though I
admit that is completely subjective and others might or might not agree.
Thickness is similar to the Spegel and these grips offered good purchase
while firing.
If memory serves, I had to wait a few weeks for these.
If a Hi Power shooter is perusing the Internet for a set of new Hi Power
grips, Mr. Hogue's products might be worth a hard look.
Best.
