Thanks for the feedback and the pointers. To be honest, I am just piddlin' around with this grip thing. I felt that I could make a set for my Xmag and thought that it would be nice to offer this for others to take advatage of. I knew that when I started the grip panels for the E/Xmag that there would be a very limited market for them. And, there has been very limited sales of them. The vertical grips are something of a challenge to me. Emag panels are relativly simple to do, no curves. The vert. panels are mostly curves and the ones that I have in the first post are done on a belt sander, and it shows. I like working with wood, but it can be very unforgiving. You make a mistake, and it shows up at the end. I havent decided that there is enough justification for me to buy a spindle sander just yet, so I am not sure if I will be making very many of the vertical panels. I made these just to see if I could, with the equipment that I have now. As I stated, I do intend to start a thread on the Angel forums, but it is not a driving reason to do the grips. I like it here on AO, and mostly troll here. If I sell the grip panels, then fine. But if I dont, then that is also fine. Its not really the money, not really making any with this anyway, but it is enjoyable for me. As for the 45 grip panels, there is an incredibly huge aftermarket for those already in place. Just look for the custom gun stock makers, you will find more than you realize is out there. I will make them, but I dont plan on it as a regular thing for me. I will offer to make the panels as long as there is an interest in them, or until I get tired of it.
