Esmeralda does some really nice grips, and she will do one off's for different guns not listed. As soon as I can afford to do so I'm going to have a set of the Alders done up for my 67-1.

I'd be curious to see her set up... I can't imagine she does all of those by hand, I think she has a computer cutter of some sort, they're all too perfect to really be done by hand in my opinion. But, you never know.
oh heck, forgot about your snakeskin grips! I have a rattlesnake skin somewhere!
lol... I hope you don't think I posted in your thread to sale grips. Just did it to offer my opinion.
I gotta say, I prefer the Alumagrip checkering outline to the double diamond of the Hogue.
And Sol, do you mean like these:
Strider Gunner
Yep, those are the ones. They have some serious bite but come with a strip of aluminum oxide sand paper to tone down the points a bit. They are made of G10 so they are pretty much impervious to any solvent. These might not be the best choice if you intend to cc the gun. When they are new they look a little chalky but if you put a little oil or WD-40 on them they'll have a bit of shine to them.
No worries Traxxis. You didn't recommend them in this thread, but you posting reminded me. I may just have to get hold of you when I build this gun. 
That is, if you like grip. I mostly have VZ Operator variants on all of my 1911sof the three, I like alumagrips the best. Carbon grips are hokey, imo.
I dont want my gun looking like some young punk's Honda civic instrument panel.
I prefer davidsons, vz, or strider.
In the realm of 1911 grips; wood vs. composite, Ill take function over form any day.
