1911 black wood grips?

[twhidd]

Someone recommend a good set of black wood double diamond grips for new Colt Commander. I've got to get rid of those ugly rubber things. Feel free to add your own pictures for me to reference.

Esmeralda does excellent work in Gaboon ebony in the $100 range. Kim Ahrends also does great work in wood and synthetics in the $60 range. Brownell's sells well-executed ebony micarta grips by Navidrex in the $40 range.

I have several sets of Ahrends Grips, with which I am well pleased, including a set of ebony full-checkered (a.k.a. "Combat" checkered) grips mounted to my SS Colt Commander (Series 80, just like yours).

Here's a link just to give you an idea of how the double-diamonds look. Shop around; you might find them cheaper than $60.00.

Take a look at the work of Kimson Vu, a TFL member. Not wood, but handsome.

You can try eBay. I got these last year before I traded off this gun. Don't remember the seller though.

Why not have the best? I don't think Craig Spegel has a web site.

I have a set of standard checkered on my Charles Daly and I love them.
