Due to their intense work with the Ruger line the fit was flawless. I am so pleased with the look of the scrimshaw that I plan to send them back to have the work duplicated on the other side. This really added a pure custom look to my gun that will set it apart from every other. I was a died in the wool wood grip devotee. After seeing the custom scrimshaw work done by Lett, the beautiful stag from Ajax, and the smooth polished look of the simulated Ivory from Altamont my taste have been broadened.
Wood is a traditional and beautiful expression of the grip makers art.
But, one look at the many colorful laminates offered by Eagle may just have changed my mind about solid wood grips for ever. I have always felt that Mother of Pearl was a presentation quality grip only, although with the advent of simulated Mother of Pearl this theory must be reassessed. On a blued gun the simulated mother of pearl gives a real flash to what may be an otherwise common appearance. Everyone's taste are different, that's what makes this country great, and there are enough variations offered to suite even the most particular of us. My suggestion is to get information from all of the suppliers and then get what you think will make your gun unique among the crowd.
