After market grip options?

[killincups]

I've got a Cimarron Frontier (my first cowboy SA) arriving on Thursday and am planning to replace the wood grips it comes with. I'm looking for any recommendations on imitation ivory or pearl grips. I want them to be one piece.
Two products I'm checking out right now are:
Boone Trading Company's Single Action Simulated Ivory Grips
Tombstone Gun Grip's Great Western II Aged Ivory
Tombstone Gun Grip's Great Western II White Pearl
Any thoughts?

Okay I'll be different. Take a look at Eagle Grips at http://www.eaglegrips.com/. Great selection and quality, a little pricey yes but well worth it. Not to take away from Gripmaker, very fine grips. I have both...

Where do Buffalo grips fall in with these other options? I like some of their offerings a lot!

Buffalo Grips = pricey and short on product in stock   

I'd also suggest Gripmaker or NC Ordnance

You might try Tru-Ivory.  Both of my 7.5 inch barreled Clones have 1860 grip frames with Tru-Ivory Grips.

or, you could try some American Holly from Spider John.

Here are Boone Traders poly ivory, and they age very nicely



here are Boones REAL ivories, and the grain is aging nicly

I have dealt weth Boone for 25 years, great people



from Buffalo Bros, material was soft



Western and Wildlife, light weight, but looks good
I still lean to Boone, and I think you can get inserts, like Colt

Thanks for the replies guys. I will let you know what I decide.

I have a more pressing question I'm hoping to get addressed regarding my new pistol:
The hammer/trigger appear sluggish and gritty out of the box.
Is this to be expected?
Will a thorough cleaning and lube fix these issues?

Other than that, the new gun is beautiful! Completely happy with how it looks and can't wait to take it for a test drive in the next couple weeks =)

Cannot hurt but may not help if problems are related to burrs vs grit or crud

I wanted to mention Vintage Grips http://vintagegungrips.net/
