Grips are part of the pistol, methinks

[AGE]

I agree with Ron and appreciate his discussion. I feel the same way about Lugers as well as other guns that I personally find equally neat (Colt single actions, original military 1911s, Garands, etc.). I only want good clean mechanically perfect examples, no junk for me. Finally, mine gotta shoot or out they go (I don't want paperweights).
