best looking grips for stainless 1911?

[joea]

I agree with Black Majik... the look of Ivory on stainless... it's old school and cool... google the pics ... and since Ivory has been outlawed, look at synthetics... you will be surpised with the beauty of something so simple yet elegant.

You can buy pre-ban elephant ivory (but don't take it out of the country) or mammoth ivory which isn't banned.

I like the cocobolo Grips Bar none.

There's mammoth ivory grips on the wilson website the last time I checked. I think they went for $400. I personally prefer smooth, dark brown wood with darker grain for all of my 1911s. I think these types of grips really go well with black pistols. I sweat like a pig and with checkering front and back I don't have any control issues. Smooth grips are also more comfortable to carry.
