Wood Grips?

[LedFowl]

Are there any polymer pistols that have wooden grips? Is there some reason that's not practical?

Seems like it would give them more personality.

I would think the poly frames flex too much for wood inserts to be practical. Ruger revolver grips are made specifically for the wood inserts in them. If you tried to do the same thing for an auto like an M&P I think you would have to either use one high epoxy content laminate or it would still just be too thick.

Ruger's 22/45, latest version, has wood grip scales on a polymer frame.

I just saw another one the other day that is coming out in 9mm that will have wood inserts.

Sig? I'll think of it and post it later.

Ruger's 22/45, latest version, has wood grip scales on a polymer frame.

And before that, many ground the sides down and mounted 1911 grips. I have a second gen 22/45 and have thought about it.

Even carbon fiber, hard rubber or aluminum grips wouldn't be a bad way to customize a polymer pistol.
