just change off depending on your mood. They are both very good.

I like the way you think.




Anyone dislike the medallions on grounds that they are not period-correct or anything like that?

Okay, I ordered them already but I can take the criticism if you like. You won't hurt my feelings.

I like medallions on a commercial pistol too. The industry standard double-diamond grips are so ho-hum in my opinion. Back in the 1980's a set of exotic wood grips was something to catch your eye, but nowadays there's just too many of 'em out there.

How about medalion on the right side so it is visible when carrying and non medalion on the left side? You can have BOTH!

I think the medalions make it look like a COLT, not one of the knockoffs.

Just make sure the grips you get don't have the "mirror-image" medallion like those on the picture above.

That would be freaky.

I guess those are the special ones to fit on Colt's Conceited Commander models, for those who like to pose in the mirror with their handguns. :hrm:

All of my guns that have Colt slides and frames have medallion grips. I prefer fully-checkered, but do have double diamonds on a couple. Colt has made quite a few different medallions over the years, and I try to have the proper "flavor" for each gun. I think the bright gold ones look best on polished blue, bright silver medallions on polished stainless or chromed guns, etc. I have some older, subdued silver and brass-look medallions that would look better on something less flashy, like a Gunsite. I chose a set of those older, silver ones for my stainless '91A1, with deep burgundy-colored grips.

Heh heh.

 

[Seraph]

My vote is for no medallions.

 

[scottauld]

This is not the best Photoshop job in the world but it gives you an idea of what they would look like

Yes, I know, I am exhibiting signs of Colt Fever. A more patient man would just wait for the gun and grips to get here.

Can't stop myself.

 

[scottauld]

My vote is for no medallions.

Thank you. Can you give me any reason why they don't appeal to you? You are the first no-vote so I am interested in your honest opinion.

 

[ZARDOZ]

I vote Yes on the medallions, Every personal weapon should be 'personalized' in some way.

Medallions are very cool and I want some on my 1991s... but I like slim grips and need to find a place that makes them.

I'm partial to no medallions with regular checkered grips. Well at least that's the way I feel this month.

 

[Mike'sgooddeal]

I'd send pics of mine with medalions but alas, I might get called conceited...

 

[ulflyer]

I like Em'

And sell me the plain ones for my Norks.

I won't call ya names, good deal. Post the pics, or send 'em.

Pretty please?
