Title: R9S Stealth
Post by: AmmoToad on March 31, 2011, 06:38:34 PM

Gun store called today, my Stealth is on the way....  Now I need some grips.  $1209 out the door....  Talked a friend of mine into selling from his local store.  Only shop on the Florida Panhandle that I know of.   :)

Congradulations on the new PUP!

What kind of grips are you looking for?

Congrats Toad!

VZ Grips put out some nice functional grips.  And at a good price too.

I checked those VZ grips out and was really diggin’ ‘em… then I thought some faux ivory grips (since I cannot get the real thing) would look sweet on a stealth…  Anyone ever seen a set like that….

Toad.  Have you seen Richard's?  His is not a Stealth, but does have Ivory grips.

Wow!  Love it…thanks Friend for posting that.  I want some….  I think it will be very classic looking on the all black piece.  Beautiful and effective weapon.  Don’t get much better than that.  Thanks again for posting the pic….now I know for sure what I want.

It's awful tough to beat Ivories on all black.

Sweet!

Ivories look good on any finish, for sure!    :)

Yes indeed.

I wonder how it would hold up on the PUP?

I'm thinking really good; they hold up great on the Ed Brown .45.

I would go for some high quality ivory look alikes.

45 grips do not have that thin tail on the front upper portion like the Rohrbaugh, that's the place they will break. :o

Maybe he won't shoot it very much with the Ivories on.    ;)

That would be a good thing.  I'm may do the same.  Always did like the Ivory look.
