Wood! And no, not the kind you’re thinking of, either, Missy!
This kind:
Maybe it’s the influence of the Weatherby stock, but I’ve been wasting time over the weekend diligently researching handgun grips. Sometimes Google’s availability really can be a curse. It’s way too easy to find something interesting, then research the hell out of it. This has nothing to do with me, of course; it’s all Google’s fault.
Okay, I’ll admit it, I basically spent the whole weekend looking at what amounts to a gun porn site with some really gorgeous grips that you can buy yourself.
 
In this case, the object of my obsession is Hakan Pek’s hand-made grips from Norway.
It’s not just CZs; the site’s customer gallery (“Grips in Action”) has some stunning examples of Mr. Pek’s work sitting on 1911s, too. (slobber)
I came perilously close to deciding to put some money down on a CZ 75 Compact (also way too easy on the Internets: damn you, Gunbroker!) just so I can buy a pair of Flame Amboyne grips for it from Mr. Pek. This is a very silly reason to buy a gun.
Happily (sadly?) reason won out and I sent in a check today for our Boomershoot entry instead.
If you’re reading this, Joe, I hope you appreciate what this means. I gave up buying a gun to go to Boomershoot. That’s pretty special, in my book!
