I personally have only seen the thin stock scales from esee. I have watched a video on adding liners to thicken the grip. Also I've seen a good few after market options that are thicker for the PR4.Can the pr4 only be found with the thin stock scales? Or do they make models you can buy direct with thicker ones.
Grim; You still Goooooou Booooooooooy...Time put put my dressed up 6 with the new 'sonofwilfred pouch' to work a bit.
Went for a nice long walk with Grim this afternoon.
Sunny and warm but sorta heavy winds. Brought gear to setup al small camp, make lunch and chill a bit.

When I decided what would be the spot for 'camp' I cut some long pegs for my tarp

After my tarp and hammock were setup for shade and blocking the wind I boiled water for coffee.
Decided to use my alcohol stove as we haven't seen rain in weeks and forest fires are on the news almost daily where I live. Don't' think a wood fire would be the safest thing right now.

I personally prefer the G10 because it's easier to clean blood off of. I dont have a problem with the natural micarta, I just prefer G10.I am looking to get an Esee 4P with 3D grip scales. There are two models I like the looks of. One model has G10 grip scales. The other has natural micarta. Which grip material do you prefer and why?
