I carry a Defender, but I love my Series 70s.

well, for right now, i'd have to say the glock 30 on my hip has a slight edge over the ruger p97 in my safe, but circumstances could change once i pay off and pick up my dan wesson cbob and sig p245 out of layaway... 
pogo2,
Sweet looking guns!!!!
I love the feel of those grips, but I could never justify the cost of them. I really want to get a pair of those G10 grips for my P229 SAS, but there again, I can't justify the cost. They are way over priced in my opinion. Hogue just has the Sig market under complete control, and they price them as they see fit. I wish there was another manufacturer that would compete in that market place to help bring the prices down to reality! I wish I had the money to start the business myself, as I'm sure there's a pretty good market for quality grips, and a lower price.

Cost of Hogue aluminum Sig grips
DBAR:
I also think the price of the Hogue aluminum grips for Sigs is very high - they are in the $140 range. The corresponding Hogue aluminum grips for 1911s are much cheaper - more in the $50 range, I believe. Of course there is competition in aluminum 1911 grips from Alumagrips in Arizona.
In Hogue's defense I will say that the machining on the back of their Sig grips is much more complex than on 1911 grips - lots of intricate cuts are required. So I'm sure that their costs are higher.
And the aluminum Sig grips are very functional, with good gripping surface and very good durability compared to plastic or wood.

Colt 1911
I got lucky with my first handgun pick 25 years ago when I chose the blue Colt with the big hole up front.
Now, I'd love to find the perfect satin stainless series 70 Commander, then a 3" bbl. S&W 625.
