Now, I have a question: how do I sell these? I'm looking to make this a sort of a job over the summer, but I can't seem to get this idea off the ground. The problem is, I've been told by every gun store owner, 1911-lover, and casual observer that they look great, but none of that appreciation has turned into actual sales. I tried turning to the real-steel shooting community, but (at least as far as 1911 grips go) the market seems somewhat saturated. Is there a market for something like this in airsoft? Any help would be appreciated.
[insert shameless plug here] I have been woodworking for about 5 years now, and out of all the stuff I make, grips are the most fun. Not sure if it's the exotic woods I get to work with or what, but I really enjoy it. Anyway, all of these grips are for sale for $60 per set (includes shipping). This might seem a little steep, but it is even with or lower than the price of any exotic wood grips you can find on the internet. Also keep in mind that these are not CNC machined, like 90% of all the wood grips on the market. They are made and finished by hand, and I go to painstaking length to make sure every set is perfect. If you don't see a set you want here, I can make them to your specifications (e.g. species of wood, tapered or magwell bottom cut, finger grooves, etc.) for most gun types. My only limitation (due to a lack of CNC) is that I can't make anything with a compound cut or wrap-around grip. This would include the Sig P220 series and the Desert Eagle. If you're not sure, ask me and I'll let you know if I can make grips for your gun.
