Here's a picture of my Kimber Gold Match II, sporting new VZ grips:



The new grips give the gun a great new personality, I'm getting a pair of Operator's for my Target II. My hands were a little oily, I just wiped the gun down. Canvas micarta is impervious to everything. VZ also sells paper, and linen micarta. I also like his grips for the Browning Hi-Power. Sorry, but my little digital camera does not do these justice.



The Hogue grips I had on the gun were causing issues, with some stains. This looks like rust, but it isn't. Just the way my digital camera makes the frame look discolored. I'm taking the Hogue's off my stainless Hi-Power too. So what are you guys dressing your guns up with?

Zephyr One/Zero: That Kimber looks especially nice! I LOVE the muted look of "understated elegance". I appreciate this because I have always been one for a 'reserved' look. The "flash" and/or "bling" (for the lack of a better term) leaves me cold!

Thumbs up, kid!

Huckleberry, those are nice grips. They kinda remind of some that Esmeralda offers. Where does Malee wood come from, it's obviously an exotic of some type?

The VZ's give the Dan Wesson a nice contrasting look.
