Make your own. I did several years ago because I didn't like what was available. People think mine are factory, they just look better.

Domingo offered up a custom run of textured original style pistol grips a few years ago and I ordered 2 sets of grips but he never delivered. I was really looking forward to the grips because I have always heard how nice the the grips were. I would order 3 sets today if given a chance. Maybe Domingo, will chime in and add to this post and possibly reconsider and have them made again. I could use a set for my WORLD FAMOUS 71 Hemi Cuda Convertible Imposter LOL !! So wha da ya say Domingo

The originals are plastic and there are many repops available for a reasonable price. I would go that route.

If you want orignial plastic grips, I got a set of repops that are probably as accurate as original. I'll give them to you.

If you mean the chrome on the metal, any decent chrome shop can do that for you as well. I have an EXCELLENT shop near me, it's in Piqua Oh, called D&D Brightworks.

I carved my own wood grips with a pocket knife. they were not too bad, but if I was going to do it again, I'd break out the power tools. All I used on the pair I made was my old trusty boy scout pocket knife. It was a pride thing.

But, there's only so much I can do with a knife blade, especially around the complex compound curves of the left piece with the "thumb ridge" on it...Plus I used exotic African ebony hard wood, with the extreme dark and white streaks in the grain. that wood is the hardest wood I've ever carved!!
Picture of wood:

(NOTE: this wood is so dense/hard, that it actually SINKS in water!!)

With much softer wood like oak, and a dremel to help out, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult at all to carve your own if you have a set of originals to copy from.

Thanks for giving a clearer answer. I didn't read the question well enough.
