Here's a suggestion, instead of looking for a gun, look for grips you like and see what guns they will fit. Your largest selection of "Purdy" handgun stocks are going to be for 1911 pattern pistols, single action revolvers and S&W double action revolvers. Most other guns with changeable grip panels will have some selection but, most will be wooden.Hoi Polloi wrote:It's a crying shame I don't care for 1911s, isn't it?Mike from Texas wrote:Far from me to question anyone's reason for buying a gun.

I'm disappointed that my gun doesn't have any way to make it purty and want one that looks as nice as it shoots. It's a second gun so I can be picky and care about such trivialities, right? Who among you will tell me it's a bad reason for acquiring another gun?
Based on your comments above, nothing is more beautiful or customizable than a finely crafted 1911.
Pretty, but just doesn't feel "right" or intuitive when I shoot them. I want something like this.
Hogue, Eagle, and Ajax all make a wide variety of grips there are numerous others google "handgun grips"
edit: 1911s are an aquired taste for some folks, sort of like sushi - - - I mean bait!
