Have Nills on my P7-M8. First, they look fantastic. Second, though I've never measured them to ascertain the size difference, they feel much larger and have a "swell" in the middle it seems.
Differences do not affect CCW. Expensive? Yes, but worth it, IMHO. |

BTW, if you invest in the Nills be sure to get a set of hex screws for them. Completes the "look."
Someone on this forum had the screws available but can't locate now.

Hi all
Finally Got a pair and boy do they ever change the look of the pistol. However they were a little difficult to install as they fit real tight and I was afraid to break them.
Aside from improved esthetics there are a few instantly noticeable differences.
Nill grips are a bit thicker as they are not flat but rounded and thicker in the center and In my case this makes it easier to consistently position P7 in my hand and seems to fit better.
Also I found that after firing several rounds the stock plastic grips would get slippery from GSR but with the checkering and rounded shape of the Nills this is no longer a problem.
IMHO this is a top quality product.

| I just installed a set today, but have not had a change to take it to the range. I love what they do to the look of the pistol. |

Looks great, driskel.
I would really like a set of these, but unfortunately the added thickness makes the pistol just a wee bit too large for my taste, grip-wise.
There is an alternate source for wood P7 grips, that look as good as the Nills and are the same "thickness" as the factory composite. But the Nills are thicker because they have to be; the wood becomes too fragile otherwise. Reports of these alternate grips cracking, etc., plus a cavalier customer service attitude from the seller, have turned me away.
There's a big thread on PCT regarding this.

| Very Nice, I tried to get the ones with the HK logo on them but Nill In Germany said that they were no longer authorized to produce them due to legalities regarding HK logo infringement. Where & when did you get them? |
