I'll try to get a small discussion started. I have a very nice "Brown Recluse" byf 42. I can't really understand why a "Black Widow" version is apparently worth more, or is more desirable than one with the nice walnut grips. To me, the baklite grips and the plactic base magazines look like a cheap version of the "real thing". I've got the feeling that if I ever want to sell this pistol, that I will have to get some bakelite grips (I've already got the magazine).

I know that this was a sales gimick, but evidently it has long legs now.
