Inspired by bracebeemer's SAA grip thread, I thought I'd try a poll to see what y'all think are the best looking grips.

I'm going to do two threads, this one for my Gold Cup and another for my Government Model.

Here are the options:

Colt Gold Cup with the original Colt grips:



Colt Gold Cup with Herrett's D45 grips:



Colt Gold Cup with Hogue double-diamond checkered cocobolo grips:

is that a Kings gun works stamp near the back of the slide? Looks a lot like the one on a Officers ACP that they did extensive work on, back when. Top notch!

I voted for the Hogue's for the GC, but for the factory grips for the Gov't model. Just felt that those Hogue grips would do better on a 1911 that went a bit 'beyond'. The GC more than qualifies in that.
