Ron,
Fortunately, I own the former and not the latter...
The bad thing about those really "bad" grips, is that they are on sale with a pistol on one of the auction sites and the wording I recall is "all original"...
Maybe the seller's meaning of "original" is in the phrase "...that's what grips the gun had on when I originally bought it from someone else..."
Regards,
Pete... <img src="graemlins/yltype.gif" border="0" alt="[typing]" />
