How about these?

Wood all the way. I agree with Grizhicks, on a black or dark gun the pearl sure would stand out.

Call me a pimp from a cheap New Orleans whorehouse...I kinda like the pearl. Personal preference I guess

Out of the two choices, I'd go with the wood. I overheard someone at the 1500 ask a vendor if he had pearl grips on his pistol. The guy replied "pearl is for sissies, this is ivory!". So if you want to compromise...how about some ivory?

Patton! I know that quote lol because I have a nickel plated 1911 with pearl grips lol.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll stick with the original Ruger grips for now. By the way, Patton did carry pearl grip pistols.

my opinion since you asked is that those pearl grips are ugly as hell on that pistol!

Maybe, maybe on a black pistol but NEVER on that brushed gun. Just plain ugly. Doesnt matter if it's the wife's gun or not, it's still ugly.

again, just my opinion.

I don't understand

Answer me this: Did you buy the thing to admire it or shoot it? The call 'em "GRIPS" for a reason. Wonder if it has something to do with grip!

BTW, those girly-pearly grips are u-g-l-y!

Patton just rolled over in his grave. He had ivory grips.

Pearl, the new ivory...

i would stick with the wood. If you really want to change out the grips, I like the earlier suggestion of carbon fiber. That would look pretty cool

 

[alc1985]

I like the wood grips, the pearl may be a little slippery.

Are you looking to purchase or are these the only options you're allowed?

I'd go to West Virginia Wood Arts and talk with Mike & Garry... JetGirl and I are both pleased customers of theirs and continue doing business with them.

Tell them Powder sent ya!

Which grips do you think looks best on my recent purchase? My wife likes the pearl look and I'm not sure, so I need your help. Please post you answer with comments. Thanks for your opinions.

The grips in the top picture hands down.

Grips are a very personal choice. Biggest concern is what are they going to be used for? Mainly ascetics on like a BBQ gun or functional on a carry gun. As for shooting I have gone to either VZ grips or Alumagrips. I love the look of a good set of wood grips on any gun but they are my last choice for a shooter.

Oh yeah and that thing that has been said about only a pimp would carry peal grips, that is pretty much how I see it also.
