So it's been quite a while since I have been on here, and I'm coming back to say that I will be starting the processes to make custom grips for most if not all guns. I have noticed the extraordinary amount of custom grip maker's varieties and though they are various, they tend to be very expensive. I will be starting off only making grips for 1911's and various other semi-auto pistols since they are easier for me to turn out in a short time while still producing a quality product. My question to all of you today would be, what do you look for in a grip? What kinds of wood would YOU like your grips made out of If you were to buy them? I want to start off this endeavor by producing beautiful, handmade, custom grips at a more affordable price then what some of my possible competitor's charge $40 to even $100 dollars for at price ranges closer to $10 to $40. I know that some woods do cost more and those charges will reflect but never to the extent of $100 or even $70. Any ideas will be great, and I will use those ideas to create a product affordable for anyone. Thanks for reading. I know all of you will be extremely helpful in letting me know what exactly it is everyone looks for in a grip.
