    Need your opinion

    What looks best in your opinion.
    Factory rubber:

    Walnut:

    Ivory (faux):


    I'm leaning toward Ivory, just like the contrast.

    Unless that's a Colt SAA.

    In which case it'd look better in my possession. I covet one.

    Jerry, I will give you twenty nine dollars for that gun, and I will come get it tomorrow if you say yes.

    Unless you're a pimp or a Texican, I'm not a big fan of the ivory.

    I think Jerry prolly dresses up like George Patton and gets out the quirt. That's why he likes the ivory.

    I'm with CD personally ... I never have liked "ivory" grips. Aesthetically, nothing beats wood IMHO ... IF you're going for looks (which was your orig. question). When it comes to FUNCTION, rubber is the only way to go. I suppose it depends on what you're gonna do with it.

    I thought the Patton thing too with the ivory grips. I prefer the wood, then the rubber, and the ivory last. But like Thump said, it all depends on what you're going to do with it.
