Best repro GRIPS?

[Max The Chainsaw]

How is this company for grips. They are located about 45 miles from me and the pictures on the site look nice.

Altamont Grips have a very good reputation for their grips. I know of no one that has purchased grips from them for a Luger.

Check the left grip in the pics on their site. the upper left is not pointy enough. The relief for the safety lever shaft is crude. I have seen pics of their grips that have a weird, very broad chamfer around the grip screw area. I bought a broken set on eBay to play with that had this chamfer, and they also had a weird cross section--instead of a plateau with rounded edges, it was a single hump, which was too high in the center and feathered the edges too much. It was one of their cast grips. They seem perhaps a bit brittle, as well. Wood ones would be better, for sure.
