In a word... BEAUTIFUL

They are in the $80-$130 range but like most hand crafted products, well worth the money for fit and finish, and she is a delight to deal with!

Here is her website link in case you don't have it:

http://www.esmeralda.cc/

On her site you can see the actual picture of the grips you want to buy. She has several different woods she uses in addition to cocobolo.

hehehehe... I do have a set of Esmeralda Grips on my Champion, but I do prefer the rubber ones for carry. Just better grip control. That's another thing the chicks dig. :) :)

Tom, why don't you like to carry with rubber grips? I prefer them over wood for CCW...

I have a Springfield Micro-Compact that I swear by. Not one problem. I would toss the factory mag in the trash and use only McCormick or Wilson mags in it though as the factory ones are TRASH. Of course, my Champion is rock solid as well.... :)
