I've always been surprised that Colt's New Frontier, which is supposed to be their premium SA revolver, often has such plain and dull finished wood grips. A few examples from GB auctions..

That's a darn nice looking revolver! But yes, those grips either need to go, or at least some attractive stain and/or varnish.

I would not be caught dead with a Colt New Frontier. The Ruger copycat modern sights completely destroy the classic lines of the revolver. Why Colt didn't try and more closely duplicate the original Flat Top Model is beyond me. USFA and Uberti did it, why couldn't Colt?
P.S.: And note how USFA even but attractive grips on the revolver.
