Pistol Grip in Silver

[gopal]

Dear friends,
One of my friends who is in jewellery business told me that he can arrange goldsmith who can make exact model of my walther pp pistol grip in SILVER.As the original one is in plastic and weighs only 780 grams,when it is converted to silver it will weigh 200 grams more. Does anybody can advise me whether there is any problem other than weight increase?
Awaiting replies
Regards
Gopal

No problem at all, and not very difficult to make either. I have seen a jeweler's (TBZ) PPK with solid gold grips. He offered to make one for my PPK/S as well but I declined politely. It should look neat if the pistol is fully chrome or in S.S. Please do post the pics if you go through this exercise.

no matter what material you choose for the grip of your weapon just go throu this
a- the actual purpose, a proper firm grip (does it or will it give u in a nightmare situation, your hands are goin to prespire and shiver when you point a gun at anybody in a real situation no matter how used to you are)
b- maintainance (silver turns black dear)
c- silver also wears out fast
in my openion wood is the best at the most a becalite grip

yes
silver turns black soon .you have to give for cleaning to goldsmith every month.
go for walnut or ivory grips.
