Default New grips for my 469

Some may recall that a couple weeks ago I picked up a 469. It came with wrap around Pachmayrs, which I happen to generally dislike (sorry) so I cut the wrap around part off and sanded the edges to make some grip panels until I could find factory replacements. An Ebay search revealed some grips described as "S&W pistol grips" with some really dark pictures, but best I could make out they looked like the plastic checkered grips with round S&W logo that came on at least some 469s. So for $18 I took a chance, and when I received them was very satisfied. They look pretty close to new. Now the gun, with these grips and the Novak sights someone put on there, is probably about as close to the 6904 carried off-duty by Keanu Reeves in Speed as I'm likely to get anytime soon. Of course, if I find a newer 6904 with the round trigger guard in half-way decent condition, I'm bound to pick it up.

Watch EBAY, I was able to get a new 6906 slide and barrel for about $200. I got the sights I wanted for a lot less than had I had the sights installed.
