You apparently understand the issues and are working around them in reasonable fashion.BulldogBorders wrote:Excaliber wrote:BulldogBorders wrote:I had seen this guys work in the past, but only online. I came across his booth at the Mesquite gun show this last weekend and found that his work was even better in person. Had to find an ATM and pick up a pair. Rushed home to mount them up.
They look to have outstanding craftsmanship, but I wouldn't suggest using grips with that motif on a carry gun.
Think about how they would be viewed by a jury of non-shooters after a shooting.
I did think of that, believe me I always think of that scenario. Especially when I go to gun shows and see signs that say things like "we don't dial 911." I view them as a work of art for myself to enjoy just as I would a painting on the wall of my home. This is not my EDC. I even made the decision if I were to take this one for range time I would swap them out if I were shooting more than a few hundred rounds that day.
By all means I hope you enjoy your artfully crafted grips for many years to come.
