What grips are on that, they are sweet looking and do you have a better pic of them & the gun.
Definitely not a play of light. I bastardized my Kimber with skateboard tape. It works. I like the feel of the grip better (and the grips are stock "black synthetic double diamond").Annie, in the second photo the front strap looks different than in the first photo. Is that a play of light or is the front strap stippled or maybe coated with skateboard tape in the second photo?
Are those grips Ebony?
Those are custom made for me by Joe Perkins, he owns Outlaw Grips and makes some of the finest grips I've ever seen, he also made the HAND OF GOD grips for actor Russell Crowe for the movie 3:10 to Yuma.
The grips you are asking about are aged, dyed and polished giraffe bone (femur) with a sterling silver medallion that he custom cast and inlayed to my specifications. They are a true 1 of a kind grip and you really don't want to know what they cost but I've got guns that cost less. Sadly the photos don't begin to show the depth of grain and the variations in the way the light plays off these grips.
I've entertained the idea of carrying an extra mag, but is 35 rounds too many?
A malfunction is the only reason that would push me over the line. I suppose I should start shopping around for a mag holster.Not if you needed 36 , I always carry 2 extra mags (of course my carry gun only has 7 rd mags), but not only for the extra ammo but for Mr. Murphy playing with my mag when I really don't want him to.
