Black pearl. IMO

That's what I thought originally but I really like the contrast with the white.

Wonder how hard it would be to keep those white grips clean?

They're smooth. Just wipe them off.

too flashy for a classic gun like that

Dark wood grips with deep checkering

IMO

Classic but without looking dated. With a blued finish I think they look sharp.

These are on a 1911-22 cocobolo wood

Paid $7 at an auction

I've also considered these too. Too tough to decide.

Cocobolo looks good on everything.

There's some nice G10 ones but they're so ing expensive.

I’m a huge fan of wood. But I know practically they might not be the best

Wood grips are easier to carve notches in.

Ivory

Was thinking I could use sandpaper to simulate grain. Oils and such would get caught in it and I think it would look real nice if done right.

@silverbullet2893 Finally got my second one! Gonna wait a week to pick up the other one though so I don't have to do the ATF bull.

Those aren't scratches either. Just did a full cleaning and the plastic bag on the lid left prints in the oil.

The trifecta is almost complete, baby. Can't wait.

Those grips gotta go though.

They're stock. Been pretty much the same since '35. I want to keep the one I bought brand new last year pristine. The one on the right is the used one I just got to use as a range queen. I think I want to put something fancier on them but i'm not sure what.
