How to determine grip size on a FWB 65/80

Post by JMI »

Hi,

I'm looking to purchase a FWB Model 65 or Model 80 with Large grips. Is there a way or are the grip marked in order to determine the size?

Thanks

Someone knows the answer...?

I have a Model 65 "Mark II" with the sporter grips. I'm interested in target grips but they need to be large for my 100-110 mm size meat hooks. How can a seller measure the size of the grips (whether I'm buying grips by themselves or a gun altogether) or are they marked in some discreet place?

Thanks

Jim

Jim,

The FWB factory grips for the 65 or 80 (note the two guns have different grip frames) are, in a word, lousy. Better to buy a Morini or Rink aftermarket grip, which will be sold clearly marked for size. This will solve both the problem you thought you had, and the problem you didn't know you had.

HTH,

Fred,

Well it took just shy of 3 years to follow your recommendation but the Model 65 is wearing its new furniture and they feel great. They are 100 mm across (XL) and they also look great.

I trust you are making the PCP guys hold themselves in low esteem with it.
