Great looking grips as the others have said. But I don't quite understand that back bottom corner. Since your frame is rounded off there, they might look even better if you rounded off the grips to match it as seen in the pics below. Of course, they are your grips and if you like them that way then that's the way they should be. That's the good part about making your own grips. You make them to suit your own tastes.   Because I'm a cantankerous son of a gun, I usually get irritated when people "quote" posts, but this is one of the times I don't mind looking again and again. Drop dead gorgeous horn grips. Nuff said. |

Nuff said. You really don't know how much I wanted to keep that set of grips. Since they were fitted to the customers grip frame I almost asked him if he wanted to sell the gun. That's the trouble with being a grip maker. Sometimes you make a set that you just don't want to part with.  |

That's called, "I got scared I was gonna mess them up, so I quit while I was ahead." Haha I was going to ask why you stopped? |

Joe, maybe you should have set the blue gun next to the fire extinguisher, It is one hot looking pistol.

Joe I think ya did a great job, I can do guns but not grips. I have 2 nice sets for my colt and I still haven't started either. But Cary this grips are beautiful and that round frame as well. |
