I've had three sets of Vintage Gun Grips. The quality was poor. The two sets in ivory color had air bubbles in the checking. The set of black ones looked good, but the left grip was so thick, the grip screw couldn't reach the threads in the frame. Out of the six grips, only one of them fit on the gun without surgery, and all of them ended up in the trash. It's too bad. They are more of a hard rubber than plastic. I would have liked to put a pair on my gun, but it became more trouble than it was worth. By the way, their Swiss grips are actually for the Interarms Mauser. The cut out for the safety is too small for an original Swiss model 1929.

I suspect that grips of a simpler design, specifically with flat backs, might not have these problems. But I'd avoid the colors and stick to black.
