I switched from wood to Colt bird and pony grips. Wood is pretty,,but,,,,I shoot Cimmarrons and kinda like the wood on Army grips,,(my OT and such) but on the Navy grips on a SAA,,,i perfer the hard rubber.....
Now, for stlye,,,Id go all elephant ivory ,,,and will,,when i hit the lotto !!!!
But, id keep to match guns with hard rubber I believe....
Im sure some of the wood checkered and maybe the ivorys that are carved give some better grip...
I can afford the rubber colt grips when I cant afford the others,,,,,but who knows what I might do in the future...Id liketo have ONE center piece gun,,USFA preinum or a real Colt,,,wiht honest to God ivory,,,thats my fantasy...
Gotta say,,,Driftwood has bout the kewlest pair of Colts going,,,I love the pics of his guns,,,just hits me were I live !
