Norm,

Now your talking some nice looking girps, I like the second set a lot better too. Grip Guys make some really nice grips I think and especially for the price. Jeff and his crew are really nice to deal with and do a bang up job. Here are the 4 sets I have.

Your RIA Tactical & Compact are beauties, and I really like those grips. What wood is that?
Norm & PBear, the Compact uses the Officer size grips. The grips on my two are made from thuya burl -- good looking and I love the smell. They came from
http://shop.thefinergrain.com/main.sc

torpeau,

Thanks for the link, I checked in there and they have some very nice looking grips, the Thuya Burl grips are outstanding.

Wow, I never even heard of a RIA. They are really fine looking firearms. And from what you guys say they are great shooters also. Jeez, I cant save enough penny's to buy the toys I want. :(
