👍 Kimber also sells a black wood grip with the Kimber logo if that interests you.
Your opinion please
So, love the new Kimber Pro PCII, awesome gun. The only thing that bugged me… just a little, was that it looked so very similar, visually, to my EMP and Ronin .45. I had a set of charcoal VZ grips and put them on the Kimber… I think I like it but sometimes my socks don’t match so I could be wrong. they function just fine for grip and feel just a hair thinner than the stock rosewood.

I think those G10 grips look pretty good. Did you have to knock them down with fine sandpaper? I usually do that. New G10's always feel like cheese graters to me.
Kimber has some cool, often dramatic cosmetic treatments but that's really not my thing. I like the two-tones like yours and also an all stainless look, both polished and matte. A lot of the other 1911 makers have stepped up their game in the appearance dept. Springfield, Ruger, etc all make some nice looking 1911's. The new Savage is well done too. I admit that I also have a fondness for the old school parkerized finish on a Gov't 1911 along with the double diamond "US" grips.
I was browsing around my LGS and the counter guy says he has a cool gun to show me. He puts an Sig P229 Equinox on the counter. Sort of an awkwardly modern-looking black and stainless treatment. He thought I would get a boner. I pick it up and say, This is the ugliest f--ing Sig I have ever seen in my life. This gun is an insult to the P229 legacy.
Of course, I was busting his chops. Some people like this look but I just don't. It's a little too cosmopolitan for me. I think it was designed by some dude who was fond of the 1980's.
Yea.....Im going with Rick on this one !! LOL. When it comes to grips, aesthetics are cool, but I'd go with what feels perfect for your grip and shooting style I never worried about looks..Ive been told I have some ugly guns, but hey they hit where I point and they love me. LOLWell, as we all know, opinions are like.......well, we all have one.
I'll give it a
I'm in the same camp as rmc. All my carry pistols (mostly) have the same smooth grips. No abrasive grips to tear up clothing, upholstery or my delicate hide, no catching on clothing on the draw from concealment.
A partial example of the herd:
After a lifetime of CC, we tend to learn a few things of what works, what almost works, and what to avoid 'cause it doesn't work. Choose wisely.
