cleaning grips

Particularly on older models, if the gun is in really nice condition and the grip checkering is sharp, I let them alone. As Johnny said, a good brushing with a tooth brush is about all they need. They have built up a "patina" of oil (and yes, a bit of dirt) over the years, but I am hesitant to do anything with them, since over cleaning looks just as bad if not worse. They are kind of like me, I earned my wrinkles and I intend to keep them! [img]smile.gif[/img]
