As is often the case, a question popped into my head, seemingly uninvited and unprompted.
What materials have grips been made out of, to good or bad, pretty or fugly effect?
For example, when I actually managed to find a speedloader for my snub, I soon found out that I couldn't use it because the grips blocked alignment!!
So, I decide to make a set of purely functional grips to aid access to the cylinder. The material? PVC chopping board. Definitely ugly, but they work and the factory grips escaped bubba-hood.
What about your experiences? Which materials have you had or seen on a gun other than the usual?
