I don't understand the question. Rattlesnake grips that aren't rattlesnake skin? :headscratch These are rattlesnake skin so probably not what you are looking for...

Kimber your right I'm looking for some that look like rattlesnake skin.
Just don't know how well real skin would hold up !! Plus $100 for real skin that will be used alot, sit in a hot truck and not possibly not hold up is a little steep.
But yes the link you sent is exactly whay i'm looking for only not real skin !!

Thanks

According to my wife's commentary when looking over my shoulder at those grips, I think I can anticipate my Christmas gift this year.

If you look more closely at the link in the 2nd post above you will read that several of the grips pictured there are embossed leather (the copper/black set) and lambskin (one of the others). So not all of them are true snakeskin but look like snakeskin.

How about the Kimber Raptor grips?

They look like snake scales to me:
