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..
I really like Jeff Quinn's (Gunblast.com) solution to the "plainest ugliest grips ever to grace a Colt handgun."(his words) He replaced them with Eagle American Elkhorn grips. This is his 3rd generation .45 with Elkhorn and his current production .44 special with factory walnut.
