    If that's true, then there are no limits to what would be available for them. In the States, the .45 Colt automatic was - maybe still is - probably the most tinkered with, customized pistol around.

    Grips are available in real ivory, faux ivory, sambar stag, elk horn, mastadon, plastic, rubber, metal, mother of pearl, every type of wood that grows on trees...

    Plywood, maybe?

    Hey, I know: my house is constructed of "Hardiplank": it's actually concrete!

    I'm sure pennineway.fswo posted on here a few weeks ago about a member of his club producing custom wooden grips for the HW45. You may wish to PM him.

    i think either hogue or pachmayr grips are the way to go.

    i have the hogues which i like as they're rubber.

    They look great but i think i fancy rubber.
    Will probably go with Hogue as i have one on a S&W and it's a great job.

    My HW45 has German Hardwood grips,

    I apply (sparingly) Walnut oil, I had a Colt years ago when we were able to live in the real world,

    But to enliven things I took delivery of a Brocock PCP AimX Atomic Pistol in 4.5mm/.22in,

    I have oiled my butt!

    And will report in due course
