Are these legit Black Widow Grips???

I am quite sure that many members know this test, but heat a needle red hot and touch the underside of the grip; if smoke or smolder appears they are fake. Real one have no effect what so ever. It is like touching a cement stone with a hot needle if they are real. I have tried this on MANY occasions. Most are disappointing.

That's right Mike, I'd forgotten about that. Also for checking real ivory vs. plastic...Ivory smells like burning hair--if anything--and plastic melts!

You're right thanks, sometimes these things seem quite obvious but it's always better to remind them.
