I don't know. Back in my millwright days, when I worked on coal pulverizers/boilers, there was an 'eye' for looking into the coal furnace...I think it was made of 'Mica'...Something hard like that would work, if it could be glued in...

Ah! Lexan (or Makrolon) is the trademarked-name for polycarbonate. My metal supplier has 12" sheets of it for ~$2.00/sheet. I'll get a sheet with my next order.

The spec sheet says high impact resistance but low scratch resistance. That sounds like the opposite of what a pistol grip should have...
