This thread started as something else that led to a more interesting idea. USFA EAGLE GRIPS. We Want them badly.

Dear Mr. Banjoman, aka Gary Granger,

We here at the USFA Collectors & Shooters of America wish to respectfully request that USFA make USFA EAGLE GRIPS. Here's hoping! Nothing ventured nothing gained.

That's because NCOWS, like USFA, is special. Whereas SASS is a "shoot your own game" organization, NCOWS is an elite organization that prides itself on authenticity just as USFA does.

I was just looking at another thread on NCOWS where USFA built a Premium SAA using the NCOWS member numbers as serial numbers.

My idea is having USFA build a SAA using a special number for us unofficial USFA collectors and shooters, like our USFA CSS member number. I had thought about using our SASS member number, but I have a feeling since SASS has a deal with Colt, that might not be possible.

What do you all think? There are 160 of us now!

Sounds great. Maybe a Prewar with fire blue appointments and real Ivory?

I agree with Foxcreek, NCOWS get it.

I am overwhelmed at the response!

I thnk a prewar with a 5.5 inch barrel with fire blue appointments and "US" logo and eagle black plastic grips. I would also like to see the barrel have a roll marked "US" and US Firearms CSS Edition put on the left side of the barrel. I'd also like to see a "US" logo on the frame or back strap somewhere.

Virginia Gentleman,

The response does not even come close to warrant asking USFA for a special gun. However, the US "Eagle" grips do seem to have a potential following. I think we should keep up the pressure on that idea!

Yes, we should and hopefully membership and demand will rise.

Yep! And "Colt dress" be damned. We can use a different eagle, like this:

I like the "Federalist Eagle" that you posted. This would keep the pinhead lawyers at Colt from trying to sue I would think. Like I said before, USFA could offer them as an option and mark'em up like heck just to make us quit nagg'in and staying really happy with such a great outfit.
