I have to agree with DW. As much as I like those wood grips I just don't think it would look as good as the black on the two tone.

Typically Id say wood. But the black looks better on that gun.

Get some Ebony grips Smile

Silver/black laminate grips always look nice on stainless too.

For comfort ,look into the Hogue rap-around type

Those are my favorite grips Fletch and I have a set ready to go on the next 1911 I get.

Be careful buying them though...I've seen them priced from $20 up to over $50.

I know. You should hear Taylor, he is always talking about how jealous he is of my Taurus.

So what did you decide on Dart?
