black widow grips

I've seen flexable urethane repros. They look shiney/wet.

When we poured urethane at work we'd use a spray type mold release agent which contributes to the wet look.

At a gunshow a dealer had a duller looking nonflexable pair which had a whitish color in the crevasses. We also used a special paste wax as a release which would would result in this look. The dealer didn't claim they were originals or say much about them except that he wanted $60.

Repro bw grips that approach being indistinguishable from the originals is not a good thing, IMO. Slap a pair of inexpensive bw grips on a byf with damaged/mismatched wooden ones and voila a several hundred dollar increase.

"Let the buyer beware", is ever current.
