Just a thought. Esmeralda is innocent of this, but you can find on the Internet all kinds of grips with skulls, Grim Reapers, etc. If you are ever involved in a defensive shooting with a gun decorated in like manner, the prosecutor WILL exploit your choice of grips to depict you as a killer, a macho dude out for a fight, etc. I know -- it's wrong and stupid, and I'm all for free expression of your badassery. But the prosecutor's mission, as he sees it, is to convict you. Your mission as a self-defense gun carrier is to not endanger your defense by acting in this way. Keep your grips neutral (wood, rubber, VZ, ivory, polymer, horn, etc.), and it might help in a 1-in-1,000,000 self-defense shooting. Why give the prosecution "ammo" to shoot YOU with? Case in point: http://www.reedercustomguns.com/1911/deathdealer.htm
Well Esmeralda makes grips for guns, and some are great for carrying, and some are great for show. In this case these are show pieces
I myself wouldn't use them for a carry gun, nor would I use the VZ grips posted below With the Punisher etched in the grips, nor would I carry the "Deathdealer" Custom Reeder pistol for CCW, but it would be cool to own
