That Thai guy (penguin-orchid-shop on eBay) makes some very nice mahogany/rosewood grips of all various types, all around 30 dollars including shipping. The checkered ones are very nice and I have a set from him for my 1911. Avoid the smooth grips unless you're more interested in looking at your gun rather than shooting it. I own the matte stainless 75B version that I use for IPSC Production, and it looks surprisingly good with the black and brushed aluminum thin grips that fit my hand better.
