Fun with wood

[Zundfolge]

I made a set of Cocobolo grips for my RAP401 (actually I made them for my brother's RAP440 for Christmas but he doesn't post here so I'm not worried about him seeing them). I've got enough wood to make another set, which I plan on doing for myself.


Anyway, I've been dying to show these babys off, but my brother also posts in all the gun forums I frequent so I'll just have to post them here.

those look pretty damn good, especially for DIY.

Looks very nice indeed. Does it also handle better this way or is that personal preference?

I like how the wood feels compared to the plastic grips that came on the gun ... but mostly its just an aesthetic thing

Very nice woodwork....shame about the hunks of iron they are attached to

The world needs more guns made of wood and metal. I'm getting sick of synthetics.

I agree ... even though my primary carry pistol is plastic

I'm just going to have to replace the Kahr MK40 I sold to buy my AR-15 ... and get a nice set of wood grips for it as well.


Here in the states the 1911, Sigs and CZs are as popular as ever so there's plenty of metal/wood guns out there ... that and there's this guy in Norway who makes some of the most beautiful grips for CZs (I may have to get a PCR just to have something to put a set of his ambione flame grips on)

Everybody knows Hi-Powers are better than all of those. Silly yank.

Better wasn't the issue, popularity (which leads to availability) was what I was referring to.
