Does anyone know a vendor source for East German grips? I am looking for the ones that are polished on the back and on top with no thumb rest.

Hi. Apex Gun Parts has them,but you have to ask. Northridge Inc., and Gun Parts, (Numrich,) also. Know that you might want to request one without the lanyard hole drilled in back. The lanyard with the internal retainer is easy to remove. Yours, etc., ABTOMAT

These people have a good selection and have been in business for quite a while:

If you buy the EG grips, remember that they take a different grip screw with a wide head:

I have ordered from Northridge Inc. several times with no problems. They have a good price on the East German grips. The grips vary in type and condition but I have always been pleased. Some have the drilled hole for the lanyard, others don't. I've even received one with the smaller diameter grip screw hole.

Not all EG grips have the large flat head screw, you'll find them with both the large flat head screw and with the smaller fluted screw. You will need the screw that matches the grips cause they're not interchangable.

Tried Northridge and now tired of Northridge. Ordered 3 of their $5.00 grips and 1 of their $20.00 EG used with screw and lanyard. The $5.00 bulgarian grips looked unfinished and had a thumb rest-- the pic showed only right side and this was not noted in description. These grips are nice decorator sit abouts but look like seconds or rejects. Told them about these but will keep them anyway.Called and emailed pics of the EG grip setup that had a big chunk missing--way big and very obvious--- the missing one third of the grip was not in the packaging. Said would send just the grip at no charge like the one in the grip package. Got the grip, looks fine but uses the big head screw. I'm done and would rather post this here than dealing with them. So now its all about a screw and if you add an ed to that, that is the way I feel about it.

If you are in need of either a decent East German black grip and/or the large head screw, just let me know, I would be glad to help with that. Just send me a PM.
