Grips are essential. Your guns look good. I don't really go out of my way to change the grips on my handguns. If they are working I don't change them.

Yes , same here. But was at the club range and one of the
members has a side line of grips.
The Sig 238 & S/W 1911 grips matched
My Sig 1911 and a $15 each gave it a shot.
Grips work well but still more for looking then
shooting.

I live a conflicted life with grips quite often. Maybe because my formative years were in the 80's... but my shooting hands appreciate rubber grips more than anything and typically, that means Pachmayr a lot of the time.

I find that black rubber grips are usually anything but "attractive" but they tend to look best when they are on an all-stainless gun.

In the end, I tend to go more for feel than for looks... so most of my handguns wear black rubber.

For me its part visizual also. They have to look good to me and install the I like you feeling in me in order to fire the gun. Fit my hands a certain way and the texture feel as well. I like the wood mostly for the thick support I get from them. I have 6" surjury scars on both wrists from serious Carpal Tunnal damage about 40 years ago now.
