Do you find 1911s in general, look Classy or Pimp/Tacky with Ivory (look alike) grips ?

I agree, pearl grips are about the nicest IMHO.

I have a Satin Nickel CZ75, that I am looking for a set of Pearl grips for.

I'm more of a nice wood kinda guy so I voted "pimp/tacky". But really, do YOU like the grips? If so, get em, if people say its ugly, tell them they can put whatever grips they like on THEIR gun.

I like the look of ivory grips on a nice blued pistol. Pearl looks good too, but seems very fragile. If I were in a carry situation, real pearl would be my last choice.

Synthetic pearl, however, is very durable, and still looks nice.

gotta go with what you like man, i got cobra grips for my 1911 some didn't like it some did, but the main thing is i loved them
I like them btw

I like the ivory, but i have to go with General Patton's comments on pearl grips. When a reporter asked him if the grips on the side arm he was carrying where pearl, he quickly replied to the effect that they where ivory, and only a New Orleans Pimp would have peal grips on a gun

Real ivory or faux ivory grips should always be "off white".

That looks classy.....

My .02...............

NAA.

 

[sillymike]

Why settle for "imitation"...

Get some in real horn...

Or buffalo bone

Or a mix of both

 

[twistedbrilliance]

I like the pearl, off white imitation ivory or bone grips.. What if you could make some that look kinda like the note book in the first pic, like a gator skin or something that might be neat..

Jeez, I wish my .22 was that well-dressed. Very nice.

A very classic look indeed! If I had the funds, I'd be all over one of those in a heartbeat.

That color is called ivory. As already pointed out, ivory is not white. Nothing wrong with white if that's what floats your boat, but it ain't ivory...

Thanks for the feedback. I love the look myself...just wondering what the general consensus was. I think I am gonna have to do it : )

 

[IM_Lugger]

white grips look nice on either black or stainless
