Also, I know its just superficial.. but I really wish Ahrends offered their grips with S&W medallion. I think the combination of subdued smooth grips with the medallion is extremely attractive.

I can get Ahrend grips from Brownells for around $40.. thats about the only place I can find them cheaper than I can get Altamonts (around $40-$50), but they don't even specify what wood I'd be getting.

PS, really nice coloring on the grips. What color/wood is that?
My Altamonts that were defective were maple (the only wood they had) w/ S&W Medallions for $70. Ahrends are expensive but they are quality grips and actually cheaper w/out the medallions.
