VZs are very cool. This guys does outstanding work as well:

He did a great, custom one-off set for me (even put in Colt medalions), and the price was not too bad for custom work.

+1 to the suggestion of VZgrips. I have several pairs and they are some of the best functional grips out there. I'd also recommend gunnergrips. http://www.simonichknives.com/gunner.htm

On an all stainless gun, red wood grips look awesome, but with the black controls on your gun, I would stick with black grips.

Higgi (thats what I like to call you). VZ makes some of the best grips. They have a color called Black cherry and also one called Tiger Stripe and both look like wood. You can scan the 1911 forums and you can find them for sale from time to time.

They have a lot of styles to choose from but I always like the Operators. Here they are in Tiger Stripe

NikatSIG is right though about the black. Here are some VZ's in Desert Sand

Yes. I got it at B&P shooting supply in Chickasha. They have another one.

The grips were on it when I got the gun, and what the previous owner said was that they were Smith&Alexander grips.

I've had excellent luck with 1911 grips from http://www.linvilleknifeandtool.com/2007/product_grips.html jThe #36 pattern is very functional. Linville folks are great to deal with.

I have a set of very early VZ grips that are great. A later set of VZ's did not last a match season; seemed to be short on quality. The warrantied replacement set of VZ's aren't lasting too well either.
