ZH-46M Grips

NJROTC Inst · Post by **NJROTC Inst** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 9:50 pm

I recently got 2 IZH-46Ms for my junior shooting team. Top shooters will move up from our Daisy pistols. Both top shooters are female and the IZH grips are way too large. Does anyone know where I can get smaller grips so we can have multiple grips and file/fit for each shooter?

Those grips are shipped with so much wood, just begging to be whittled down... which isn't an ideal situation in a club/educational environment --since they will be passed around so much.

The only non-stock grips I've seen for the Izzy are expensive laminated versions, costing nearly as much as the pistol itself.

I'll dig around to see if I can find a link I recall seeing, which had some basic walnut IZH grips. They were still relatively expensive however.

Get a Dremel Tool or similar and grind away the excess wood.
Been there done that :-)
A file or rasp is much slower, although safer:
easy to remove too much!

The Izzy grip is too big for most adults too:
a wonderful DIY customizing project.......

I would contact Marchal grips. I have one he made for the IZH46.

You can get a ball or elongated rasp that will fit in a cordless drill. It really hogs that wood and Bondo off, but is very controlable for finer work.
The finish it leaves is a little rough, perfect for grip or adding "stuff".

Any good hardware store carries them and they are not expensive.

The problem is that once he files down the grips to fit these two small hands, after they move on to different pistols or leave the program, he's stuck with two pistols with tiny grips that nobody else will be able to use. So either way, he needs some additional grips.

I've never seen the Marschalko grips before, that certainly looks very promising for extra IZH grips.

Guess that's why there's Bondo et al.

Semi-custom grips that are very reasonably priced if you don't want to go the dremel and rasp way.

I'm not sure if Dennis (marshal grips) makes one of the IZH46... But I can vouch for the quality of his work. I recently got him to make an extra-small grip for the girldriend's 208, and she's real happy with it.

Woods and waters is no longer making grips for the IZH-46M. Too bad, their laminate grip made the IZH-46M look a lot less like a farming implement.
