Title: Cherokee Hills Grips
Post by: Zephyr on January 19 2015 05:41:18 PM MST
I just picked up grips for my 1911 at Cherokee Hills Grips in Alabama.  The owner (Bob Adkison) is a helluva nice guy, and he's loaded with info/facts about all types of 'exotic hardwoods' from around the globe.  Their website offers a complete rundown of designs, materials, and costs. You can get further information here:  http://cherokeehills.biz/ (http://cherokeehills.biz/).  I picked-up a set of these nice 'purpleheart' wood grips in his 'Special Offers' section.

I'll post a pic of these on my 1911, when they come in.

My grips came in today, so I mounted them on my Kimber 10mm Target II.

If your looking for exotic wood grips, give Cherokee Hills website a look.  Many different styles, patterns, and wood.

Those look nice - very classy! Thanks for the link, as I'm researching grip ideas for a recently aquired DW Heritage.
