I've got a black taurus pt1911 that I am going to change the grips on, but I don't exactly know what would look the best. I'm trying to find some good pictures, but google images and flickr have let me down. if you have a blued or dark finished gun that you think the grips look really good on could you post a pic, or link. Currently I am thinking some of the carbon fiber looks neat, but I am leaning toward some neat looking wood. does a blond or brown or reddish look best?
 
Here's a blued gun with burl grips.

I too am searching for 1911 grips (my first actually), and just thought these may help your search. I've looked through so many lately I can't even remember them all.

Here are some good galleries:

(If you look towards the middle of the page there is a Nighthawk Custom wearing vz 'alien grips'. I though these were really neat and were the ones I ultimately decided on for my new STI Spartan. I think they are pretty new and are not even on VZ's website yet, but if you call, they have them. There are also some examples of these olive, but it is a good gallery for some ideas. Make sure you look through all the pages

Also, a lot of nice grips at:

http://davidsonknives.com/grips/grips.htm (these may have been my favorite, but I just couldn't picture them on my gun)
http://Alumagrips.com

Also check out a THR member called Kimsonvu for some very nice and reasonably priced bonework

Good Luck
