Way to go.  You may have to go by time in choosing who to sell them to.

I don't like the vz cfs as much as the Rohrbaughs, too much of the pattern is machined off. :(

Not sure what you mean about that. My original grips have a pattern of sort, but it's very shallow and really doesn't add to the grippiness ('zat a word?) of the pistol.
The VZ's are obviously deeper cut and should give more of a grip.

It's different because they are machining a radius on the carbon fiber and going thru it, only leaving a small strip across the top and down the center.

I especially like the slight radius machined into them that doesn't appreciably add to the width, but does add to fit the hand better than the slab sided originals.

I just ordered a pair in Black Cherry. Real 'purty.

He was referring to the amount of surface on the OEM carbon fiber grips. The carbon fiber displays the pattern throughout the entire surface of the grip.

The VZ carbon fiber grips have a radius to them therefore the carbon fiber pattern is visible on the top and middle section of the grip panel.

Thats what I was saying, There machining through the CF and removing the pattern.

I'm sold, the grips are ordered.

Maybe Richard's fine photos of "added selling" will push someone off, who is/was sitting on  the fence like me.  :D

Hey all, first post here.  I have a Rohrbaugh 380 coming tomorrow, so I thought I'd join.  I have a question about the VZ carbon fiber grips.  How grippy are they?  It seem like they'd be a little on the slick side.

Thx

They are not slippery at all. They have a little texture to them.
