Re: The Deeperblue.net Gun Building Extravaganza - Handle Style Discussion

While this is a custom gun, I don't think it's meant to be specifically customized. It's meant to be a group effort to put all the ideas out and agree on a best fit. At least that is what I pick up from foxfish on other threads.

So imo some sort of Ambi Ergo grip like they make for AR15's would be good. Looking at the work so far I think it is going to be an excellent piece of work. A contoured handle with just the right thickness, not to big for the smaller hands but very usable for bigger hands.

To go along with the poll and wood choice, I agree with Pastor on contrast to the handle. BUT, if it's going to be a wood handle, there is already Teak and Purpleheart, I don't know if another color of wood would be too much. A more blond wood I think would make a nice handle on a Teak gun, but again, with the purple heart... I think the same wood should be used.

(That was hard to right, I was trying to avoid sounding like the ole how much wood could a woodchuck chuck)
