Thank you! I have been wondering the exact same thing! The plastic grips are very thin, so structurally or mechanically there does not seem to any limiting factor. I have been thinking about buying a pair of the Hoges in Rosewood for cocobolo (plain) for my 5906, and then having a stockmaker friend of mine reshape them thinner and checker them.

Has anybody tried this?

I'm not a big fan of the fake wood grain over plastic. I know some are. I'd rather have real wood, or just stick with the plastic.
