Bone white or Snakeskin Camo Grips???

I like the snazzy Snakeskins... but somethng about the plain Bone White grips that is... well, seems to fit the whole WW2 thing. I have been told Patton wore Bone white grips... but I could't find a photo? Anybody now if that's a Myth or was for real..... Buzz

I have never been a white grip fan. I always like black, or darker colors, but that is just me...

I'm not a fan of white grips - always hated them. Can't say I like the others either.

I really like aluma grips. Also, these are nice as well...

aLUM... uGGG

I guess the Alumas are ok??? I could take em or leave them. I go for one of a kind stuff. Another company has Aluminum grips that are vented... reminded me of a 50's car hood or something.... cant quite see those on a war pistol. I am trying to find if Patton actually was in the European theater with white grips...? Anyone know?

Do you know the name of the company? I've seen Aluma-Grips and Hogue Aluminium grips, but I haven't seen VENTED grips.

i love the traction offered by my alumagrips, and the extra weight they add too.
