Thanks.

I've been searching for weeks... Getting tired of it.

Here ya are, ma'am..... Alumagrips - Sig P238 May I suggest that you try a pair of aluminum grips before you buy a pair. They don't provide nearly as much grip as the checkered wood, or G-10, or VZ grips. Aluminum grips came on one of my Sig's, and after the first range session, I swapped 'em off for G-10 grips... personal preference of course.

I really appreciate your reply, but I already tried alumagrips. The owner said he doesn't make any that would fit my gun. Thanks for the advice. I haven't tried aluminum grips. Thought, I am sending them in to be engraved, so that could help with grip, right?

I think the engraving might have to be pretty extensive to be effective. You might check with a gun dealer, close to you and see if they have any in stock that you could get a look at.

I'm sorry. I obviously missed the Kimber Solo part. I was trying, though....

so looks like its time to buy some aluminum stock and a dremel and make your own set of grips!

Why, yes. Yes it is.

sounds like im gonna have to grind some out, you want some checkerboarding? lol

should be fairly easy to find a set of grips from a full size auto..... fit the top hole, measure to the new bottom hole and then trim down the excess using the original grip as a reversed template.

easy peasy
