Those lighter grips do appear a bit chunky and like they really don't fit too well.

The bottoms are thicker than anywhere else. Looks ugly. I'll stick with the Numrich grips for now.

The shooter Luger shot quite well, didn't have to hold anywhere off paper. I shoot 6:00 o'clock sight picture. Shooting it after shooting the heavy long barrel took a bit of adapting. But after I got it where I wanted it and ran a couple magazines through it, I did manage to get 5 in the black. Not all from the same magazine, but hey, I'll take it.

I shot 115gr FMJ ahead of 5.25gr of W231 in both Lugers, left over from many years ago. Probably too much powder for a Luger. My Hornady book shows that combination @ ~1175fps...
