I have a question how does the fossilized ivory feel in hand compared to regular ivory or wood grips.

I’ve got a couple of these and a couple sets of elephant. Blindfolded I couldn’t tell the difference in texture or heft.

I have only had very limited experience, a friend has ivory on a 1911, and the grip was great.

Just super cool. I hope another supplier comes through.

NC Ordinance has fossil blanks and oversized panels.
