Very nice! Digging the grips - what wood are they?

I'm thinking Cocobolo but I am not sure. Just my guess.

[Montkun]

No idea what they're made of, they weren't specific in the packaging. All they said is that it's harder than the normal walnut that most grips tend to be.

I know a lot use Cocobolo because it is really dense. I know I have worked with it in the past. A very hard wood. But I love the looks of it when it is used.

Montkun:

That's one fine-looking pistol.

The grips really dress it up!

[Montkun]

Thank you MPG, i thought they made it look pretty classy myself. There's something kind of iconic about the look of metal and wood paired together.

[leejack]

Nice!

[Laker]

Nice looking RIA. The grips make it! Daughters are fun. I raised two. They grow up to fast.

Sights aren't too hard for a gunsmith to swap out. I bought a used Colt 1991 with GI sights, and he had three dots on them in about a half hour of labor.

I replaced the sights on both of my GI's. As long as you have the staking tool, and a vise it is very quick and easy to do. I went with Fusion sights.
