Come Into Bawanna's Famous Grip Emporium

[Bawanna]

Boy am I dumb. Working my laptop at my home computer desk and trying to type on the wrong keyboard. Duh?

Here's some pics of a set for Ruf45. The wood started life stabilizing a wobbly table for Tucson. Guess he thought it deserved better in life. Mr. Ruf wanted blonde so I thought they were a good match. Stabilized Box Elder.

I did regular checkering on the angle on the front and skip line on the back. Gives em a little flair. Kind of hard to see the pattern and I'm glad the colors and grain in the wood came right thru.











These will go out in the mail tomorrow Ruf. And Springer, your 2 sets will go out also.

Bawanna,

Some great work you've done.

By the way, you were right about my split grip. The Sig RCS does / did have wooden grips. I'll see what they say and have for me in the morning.

I'm sure they will replace them with no hassle at all. We'll work on some awesome grips for it given a little time, so the stock ones can live in a drawer. The factory's are actually putting some dandy looking grips on guns lately though. Some really nice.

Bawanna you have some of that Box Elder left sir? How about some SP101 panels in that in the skip line checkering?

Now I answered my own question from your PM. I don't have any more of this, they were grip shaped panels to start so nothing left.

I do have some blonde Myrtle wood that looks similar. It isn't stabilized but it should work fine for some SP101 panels. I can do the skip line on it.

Some folks don't like the skip line, your wife must be a classy lady. I like it myself. Most pro checkerers won't do it either, never could figure why, it's not hard to do at all and it's stylish.

Got these from Bawanna a few days ago. Finally had a chance to get
them on today.I think they look great. Gives a old gun some class.
Thanks Bawanna

Look good. Did the ambi safety cut and everything clear properly. I wish I'd known about the mag well funnel, they look great but I would have just covered the pin in the lower rear corner. Ties into the mag funnel a little better.

Do they feel good in your hand?

[ruf45]

They fit great,had to do a little work for my thumb gaurd. But was no problem.
They feel really good.

[Bawanna]

You've had alot done on that gun. I love front strap checkering and it looks good on yours. The front slide serrations, nice. I've seen pictures of those thumb guards but never in person. Can't tell for sure how its attached, I feel kind of dumb.

[ruf45]

I did all the work myself. The just sits over the grip screw bushing and the
grip keeps it in place.

[Bawanna]

Under the grip and over the safety tube?

You checkered the front strap and slide serrations yourself?

Dude I wanna be your good friend.

[ruf45]

Yes thats the way it fits. Did it all. Its not really hard ,but takes a lot of time.
