MK40 pearl grips?

[OiRadio47]

Does anyone make some aftermarket white pearl grips for the MK40? If so, point me in the right direction. Thanks. :)

General Patton thought Ivory was the way to go... not Pearl. Of course, Ivory might be hard to come by legally... maybe some nice synthetic, simulated Ivory??

Sorry, haven't heard anything, but maybe Bawanna has an idea.

Wynn:)

Only a pimp on a New Orleans river boat would carry pearl handles. I prefer Ivory.

Sorry....Patton was my Hero.

I'm unaware of anyone that make synthetic grips for kahr but I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Ajax or Eagle would be the first place I looked but I'm not optomistic, well I am but not in regards to this search.

Good luck.

Just curious what is out there besides wood. Wood is not my flavor.

[Bawanna]

There's lots of materials, some of the stabilized woods don't even look like wood, micarta, there's several fake ivory and pearl materials.
The problem is there just aren't alot of makers making aftermarket grips for Kahrs.

If I had a MK40 same as yours I'd fix you up in fine fashion but alas I don't have one or know anyone local that does.

If Wyn ever wins the lottery and sends me some, I'm gonna order one of each and every model Kahr makes and start making handles. They are a challenge, lots of angles and stuff inside but I can handle it.
Geez, I think I made one of them thar puns.

[JFootin]

Yeah, micarta might be the best bet, but then finding someone making them for an MK40?

[OiRadio47]

Haha, but yes I want it to look like a pimp gun.

[Bawanna]

Ok Jfootin, there's your cue, go ahead and post a picture of your CM.

I'll put my sunglasses on now. Go ahead, I'm ready.

"Pimp my Kahr"

Sounds like one of those reality TV shows. :D

No. This is a MK40 thread. No jackin'. Besides, as I said, my Shiny CM9 is a sophisticated gentleman's pitol. Not a pimp gun. :cool:

Remember it's a gentlemens pistol, not a pimp daddy gun. Did I get that right Jfootin?

[jocko]

ivory, pearl, plastic. Pimp gun for sure. rich pimps would have ivory, upper class pimps wooud have pearl, poor bastards pimps like jocko would have plastic. A real macho sob would leave that beautiful Mk alone and shoot it like he stole it. Just sayin

Mind u I am not a pimp but I have been known to rent out my old mare to some farmer who had a very old stallon and wanted to give the stallion a gift for his birthday. (10 different times) A guy has to start somewhere.:7:

[JFootin]

Being a woman, she might like it all pink. :p

[Tinman507]

Oh Man, if I EVER dared to hand my wife a pink gun.....
I don't wanna even think about the consequences.

You never know with some women. My beautiful mirror polished CM9 was being prepared by the original owner as a carry gun for his very beloved wife. She decided she didn't want that big a gun or caliber, so she chose a PINK Taurus TCP! :p And I got the benefit of his loving attention poured into my little beauty! :D

Your "precious", eh, Sméagol?

When I first got my MK40 I went on a search for grips.
Sadly I found nothing.
Only the wood grips on the Kahr website.
I got both sets but ended up just keeping the factory grips.

Have always wanted a 1911 with white grips.
Not so much a hard chrome Star pimp gun though...

Barth: this forum does not allow pimps, so u made the right decision sticking with the factory grips..

course picture this: Obamma with a 1911 and pink grips signed by elton John.:behindsofa:

Contact Jim Alaimo at Nutmeg Sports. (http://www.nutmegsports.com./)

He sells genuine legal African ivory grips for different pistol and revolvers. I would think he would be able to make something for your Kahr.

I have three sets for 1911 style pistols that he has made for me and they are a work of art.

I'll bet that Ivory would look really nice, but it's probably about the price of GOLD!:eek:

Maybe a nice imitation, synthetic "Ivory".

Wynn:D

There are some white grips made out of some type synthetic material pictured in the flickr album: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24916500@N05/sets/72157612929202885/with/3210930987/

That looks like painted wood and the K9's finish could use help! Not a good combo there... looks "inexpensive". IYKWIM :D

We're only passin' thru as I've been reminded many times. Treat yourself to a set of ivories, you won't regret it. :D

No such thing as a nice imitation, synthetic ivory. It's either ivory or it's something else. ;)
