Hello all,

Here is a pic of my HiPower with a new set of VZ Grips' Pro Slims on them. First, their service was great, I got the grips in 3 days after receiving a confirmation email and a tracking #.

But, before you run out and buy a set for your HiPower you should know that they didn't quite fit either of my mid-2000's FN HP40. I assume that the current generation frames for the 9mm are the same. :(

Strangely, it did fit my 1968 T-series. I say strange because according to VZ's website it should fit late 80s+ pistols. Anyway, as for my intended target my mid-2000s MkIII--

The left panel front (towards front strap) does not sit flush against the frame. The right side is pretty close, but the stop of the tang (rear of grip) doesn't quite line up. You can't really tell in the pic though.

I am disappointed because the grips are clearly VERY high quality. The material is strong and thin. The texture is not very aggressive or sharp. They would have been perfect. Well,  Per VZ they cannot be fit,  I am to send them back for a refund. Too bad -- they looked great. Sorry for the pic quality, my light box is disassembled.

update 12/7/11 -- I had some questions about the fit, and I actually did take some pics. Here is the one that shows the gap the best.
