My wife, Daisy Dakota shoots a pair of Beretta Bisley's.  She's been envious of many of the custom grips she see's a various shoots.

Problem:  The grips shape on the Beretta Bisley is different from the Colt and Uberti Bisleys (yes, I know Uberti makes the Beretta gun, but the frame on the Beretta is angled slightly different) . . . thus almost no aftermarket grips are available.

Anyhow, I found VTI sells oversized, unfinished Uberti Bisley grips.  So I bought a pair, shaped them, stippled them, then stained them pink  (Woodburst Tung Oil based stain) and finished them with 6 coats of Tru Oil.

They may not appeal to everybody, but Mrs. Daisy sure does like 'em:

Pancho, those are luverly.
Gives a whole new meaning to "Pretty in Pink". ;)

I, for one, would like to see a pic of Daisy Dakota, all dressed to the nines, sporting those.
I know there are all colors of the rainbow made so that women can dye shoes to match an outfit. (Or gun leather?.  .  .hmmmmmm!) Let me guess - Daisy Dakota has something that matches these?
