Grips, Part II: the .380

I thought the white grips on it when I got it looked nice, but the left panel was cracked, and they were slightly undersize; they'd shift a bit, and the top front curve would reveal the opening in the frame. I also found out the grip screw was slightly stripped; you could tighten it to barely snug before it would slip. So made this set out of curly maple and made new escutcheons and screw.

I think they came out rather well.
