Checkered is the
popular diamond pattern you see everywhere.
Fluted is just horizontal lines; parallel with the
barrel. The grip shape is otherwise identical.
The trigger grips fit the standard frame, which
includes 2240 2250 1377 P1377 1322 P1322 2289, Marauder Pistol (and thus
my Two Stage Trigger) and more.
I offer two shapes of forearms in three styles.
The Fatty (which is rounder and can have Flutes).
Flat Sided (which has flatter sides to accommodate
the Checkering).
Either shape is available Plain. Check under Cherry
for more photos of Plain.
The forearms are compatible with the pump guns: 1377 P1377
1322 P1322 2289, etc.
You can get either forearm shape as Plain. I only have a few
species of wood that come thick enough for the forearms. They're listed below.

The two forearm styles
This is Plain. The forearm is available in
either shape when ordering Plain.
All wood products are available unstained or coated in BLO
(Boiled Linseed Oil) which, on most species, adds real warmth, depth and character
to the color and grain.
You can optionally topcoat these, if you want. If you plan on doing any final
sanding or finishing, order them Unstained.
Now made right here in Ohio (no more Chinese knockoffs). I'm telling you
right now, most of the Crosman sellers are getting the same junk from
China. I know, because that guy approached us all simultaneously and we
all chomped at the carrot. I sold them for a couple years and they were
garbage. It's literally an unknown species of wood (even the guy in China
couldn't explain just what wood he had) AND the fit was never correct. The
forearms especially. I have photos of the old grips buried on my site. If
you can find them, you can make the comparisons yourself.
If you've thoroughly read my site, you know I do very, very little
disparaging of my competitors. But because I used to sell that crap, too,
I feel confident in telling you that I have the better product.
Anyhow, these are natural wood with varying grain patterns. No two grips
will be the same (the milling is the same, they're the exact same shape,
but the grains and shades will vary).
Cherry is probably the second most popular seller, but
it's my #1 favorite. BLO on Cherry
gives the prettiest result I've seen on any species. The checkering comes out crisp and
clean on Cherry.

Unstained Fluted Cherry vs Boiled Linseed Oil Fluted Cherry
Heavy and tightly grained. A pleasure to machine and finish. With a
stark grain pattern that jumps out at you, I
can't believe how attractive each pair is.
Wildly flamboyant and attractive. Extremely hard. Yes, it really is that
purple. Hard to tell the story through photos, but Google around for other woodworking projects made with it.

A light colored wood with gorgeous dark streaks. Seems
difficult to sand without woolies (fuzziness). I need to practice more with
this species. But, it's very, very pretty.
Unstained vs Stained Fluted Ambrosia Maple | Right: Unstained vs BLO AND
Gloss Polyurethane
Cheap, light-colored, sort of plain with an open grain, but easy to
work. Sands to a pretty result. Has a stigma associated with it, because "um,
it's pine" but I do like it.
Unstained Fluted Pine
Unstained Fluted Pine,
the big benefit to the fatty are the finger-holds that makes cocking so
much easier

optional)
Very pretty end result, but also very lightweight, which is both good
and bad. Having cedar grips to go with the cedar siding on your lake
house would be interesting.

Reddit. Courtesy dingledangledeluxe.

I just received the grips for my 1322.
All I can say is WOW! These are beautiful, and just what I was looking for.
Well worth the wait. You do really nice work. Thank you so much.

Hey, Nick! That looks great! That looks
perfectly workable to me! Did you try the 2nd blank 90 deg or plane it down
and go a little shallower or slower or some other solution on the interweb?
Whatever it was, looks like it turned out great! Thanks for going the extra
mile on this, I genuinely appreciate the effort!
