Wow - you're a true artist! I love those grips - makes me wish I had a stainless gun. Although they'd look great on a Hard Hat treatment too. But I already have camel bones on that gun. Wait, I do have a stainless gun - my Eclipse! OMG - you're killing me !!! Now those are going to be on my mind - please sell them quickly

But, but, but ... that's an Officer, right? Problem solved - phew ... that was close. Man, I have issues

well now I don't stabilize them myself, I've studied how but I don't really want to spend 4 or 5 hundred on all the equipment right now, i'd rather buy guns

and yes don't worry, those are for an officer model and they're already sold, I Guess I probably shouldn't tell you about the Maple I just got in

Unless you can work them into a well defined orange/dark brown tiger pattern I can resist
