[IN_Varmntr]

I've narrowed it down to a few different sets of slim grips for my Kimber. First picture is of my Kimber as it sits now. The following are quick Photoshop jobs I did in order from my most to least favorite of the 3.

Stock Kimber grips.

Raasco Black Linen Micarta's

Raasco Green Canvas Micarta's

Raasco Royal Marblewood Double Diamond Checkered

 

[Empires Burn]

Raasco Royal Marblewood Double Diamond Checkered

 

[Chefcook]

I voted Raasco Royal Marble wood Double Diamond Checkered. But it was a toss up between that and the Kimbers...

Standard Kimber grips. They're already high quality grips and you can save yourself the money of getting another set.

I like all of them for looks, but I prefer a set of Hogue Grips for comfort and usability. I have them on my compact and full size.

I like the stock grips best as far as looks. But you really need to go by the feel in your hand.

Thanks fellas! I've actually been looking all around for grips and have been wanting to try some slim grips since this is my carry gun. I love the stock Kimber grips and I'll have both the regular width and the slim grips so I can change them out as I like. I'm going to stay away from anything with too much of an obnoxious appearance or symbols or anything of that sort. They just don't work for me.

I just love the look of the Raasco Royal Marblewood Double Diamond Checkered .

My new grips for my Tactical Pro II

I love my Tactical Pro II and have been searching for these grips for a long time. I am going to paint the emblem silver and spray them with a gloss lacquer to protect the emblem paint and keep it glossy. Just got them yesterday so I am painting them this weekend.

Incidentally, as a fellow Kimber owner, I recommend buying after market HEX head screws for your grips. The stock ones are a SOB to take off and use the smallest Allen Wrench known to man.

Man I am In love with those Raasco Black Linen Micarta's, you got to get em.

 

[JByer323]

I'm a big fan of wood.

Check out Fusion Firearms...

Well I think I'm going to go with the Black Linen Micarta's AND the Royal Marblewood. I couldn't decide between the two.

 

[hotfarmboy1]

I really liked the black ones.

g10 double diamond slim fell perfect for me. Very grippy but not overly agressive. I almost bought the black but went for the two tone. pics in album.
Good luck

 

[spartan933]

Yep, I bought my new grips from Larry Davidson at Monkey Grips. Black G-10 with the Hitman Symbol. Painting the symbol today hopefully.
