Norm, just like mine except for the gold lettering. How'd you do that? Shoots great!

Very nice. Not being mechanically or artistically inclined, all I usually do is replace the grips. Here are my two RIAs.

Norm,

I was starting to worry but good to see you finally got it. Like how you add the gold lettering, nice touch.

torpeau,

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

Hey torpeau, those are really beautiful grips, did you buy them or make them your self ?
Very Nice,

Norm, very nice job, I wish I had the artistic talent you do. If you were to hand me a can of gold spray paint the results would look like a 1st. grade finger painting.
Very very nice job,
G.R.
