^ Those grips would be nice, I have seen them for sale but that was years ago. I did place an order for the Hogue grip. For the price it's worth a shot.

Change your grips. Mine feels (and looks) great IMHO.

I have big hands, the grip is almost too short so I grip it high to compensate. You can see here that my hand contacts the hammer when it's cocked. The hammer comes down even farther when the gun cycles which is causing the bite. Sounds like my only option is to try an aftermarket grip or change how I'm holding it.

Thanks- as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I really couldn't picture it.

Hope it solves your issue made all the difference for me
cheers

4b1t where did you get those grips? Would like to buy a pair

How about a glove?

I'm not operator enough for gloves.

I wear shooting gloves for my hard kicking .454 Casull. I also wear them on biters like my Astra Constable (PPK clone) and AMT Backup.

They're those Uncle Mike's with the gel in the palm and a wrist wrap. It sure helps with the vicious .454 Casull recoil.

X2. I'll wear gloves if I'm shooting a bunch of .44 Rem Mag...it does help with the wrist pounding. Operators need not apply.

I wish I had some of those recoil absorbing gloves when I owned a .454. That gun was nearly as painful for the user as it was for the target.

I have experienced the bite as well, even with gloves it split the webbing on them. I tend to grip high as possible as it makes the bore axis low as it can in your hand and helps manage the recoil for faster follow up shots. It's too bad it wasn't designed with a little bit of a beaver tail.

I have seen where guys have had a little bit of flat bar welded on the frame so it gives the affect the 1911 had to keep your hand below the slides path of travel

Heh. If you plan to shoot in cold weather, you should really know how to manipulate your firearms while wearing gloves.

It was cut in a U shape to go a bit on the sides of the frame and also on the back so the hammer wouldn't get you when you shot

Found the Serbian moulded ones.
Strikes me that if someone were to import a batch of them, they would sell very easily.

Just look on youtube then you can see videos

I have a medium large hand. I bought these on ebay for about $19.00 us a pair. Had them mailed to a friend in USA.

They offer two models. One has a cut out for cheesy safety on the Norinco.

I ended up just selling it. Disappointing as it was a great gun for the money. I tried a few different grips and none worked. My hands are just too big.
