That statement that more blue CF blue grips were made than black surprised me; wonder how many of each were made.
I have blue CFs, black CFs, G10s, silver aluminums, and OD aluminums. I tend to use the OD aluminums for everyday use and install the black CFs for BBQs. 8)
Some of us have obsessive ammunition hoarding disorder (OAHD) and some of us have obsessive grip acquisition disorder (OGAD). We know you're out there and maybe some confessions to these foibles might be cathartic.
I have two sets of original equipment grips if anyone would like a set(or both) pm a mailing address. I'll gladly send them to you. Happily, I'm not a grip junkie. But if I go more than a week without buying any ammo I start to tremble a bit. Gene
I think I'll ease the pain by retreating this evening into a bottle of Irish whiskey about as old as I am. [size=10][Wait a minute . . . . Does that mean I have yet another problem? :-/] [/size]
Richard. How'd that work out for ya? ;D ;D

Have I ever mentioned that my paternal grandmother was a bonnie lass from County Cork? 8)

Don't want to hijack the thread. But, both sets of G-10s are gone (amen). Gene
But, I am a native of New Jersey and I don't speak Texan. I am not worthy.

We could do basic Texan in a week or so, but all of the different dialects take a bit longer.
tracker, when I lived in Lubbock, we just had to drive out to the "strip" for adult beverages and sign a note book to go into a club. Tom

No one can compare to Richard and his grip fetish though.. ;) ;D
FYI,
I just deleted a previous post that had some pop-up ads in the map that may not be acceptable to some of the forum members.
Tom:
I was working in a certain country in 1980 which had imposed religious law and outlawed, among other things, the consumption of alcoholic beverages by its citizens. Severe restrictions were imposed on foreigners who were in country on temorary visas and wished to consume alcohol. In order to get a drink of whiskey, we visa holders were required to repair to a windowless room in the bowels of the hotel -- a place with a locked door resembling a speakeasy during Prohibition -- present our room key to gain admittance, and then sign a paper indicating that we were alcoholics who required the beverage to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Meanwhile, just down the street, you could openly and legally purchase over-the-counter from the neighborhood chemist (here read "drug store") various items which U. S. law would describe as controlled substances .
Somewhere in the Near East, moldering in a subterranean vault, there may still be a number of written documents bearing my signature in which I declared myself to be a hopeless alcoholic. 8)
As the old movie title stated, it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.
