...tough to make a recommendation. 1911 stocks are very plentiful. If you do a search youll come up with a ton of them, but that's a good way to peek around Until you find something you like. Heres some interesting sites: https://www.boonetrading.com/collections/colt-simulated-ivory-pistol-gripshttp://truivory.com/truivorygrips.htmhttp://rmhknives.com

I'm making a few sets from stabilized burl maple. Will post some pictures soon.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

I like the ones that are on it now. That being said....I called Craig Spegel about a week and a half ago. He was very nice. And I was very nice. I'm expecting a set of Kingwood (he doesn't list them, but found a blank set while we were on the phone) diamond checkered in about 2-1/2 weeks. Nothing better as far as I'm concerned. But after he does this run, it will be maybe a year before orders are delivered.

The ultimate is probably fossil ivory, which used to be a lot cheaper than it is now. Not so sure of its durability.
Elephant ivory might be a fine investment, if you can find some (legally).
Stag is about 1/2 the cost of fossil ivory and is possibly more practical as far as grip and durability.
The fine hardwoods, figured walnuts, desert ironwood, bocote, are nice. I read recently that cocobolo has been declared endangered, and may be harder to obtain in the future.
Mother of pearl is wonderful, but I have heard not always durable. I've always wondered about abalone, which has spectacular colors. I have one really large abalone shell that I might be able to make into grips, but I'm not sure I have the skill to do it.

Just something ivory'ish. Isn't "faux ivory" another way of saying plastic?
