Buffalo Horn Grips

[skeezix]

Are buffalo horn grips sturdy and durable, or are they just a "cosmetic" grip like mother of pearl?

I've seen some on ebay at a reasonable price, but I dont want to buy a set for my 1911 if I have to change them out everytime I shoot it. Anyone got any experience with buffalo horn?

I bought a set for my SBH and after sending several sets back because of poor fit I finnaly got a decent pair. Shooting the SBH with those grips convinced me to purchase some Pacmyer? rubber grips. The outfit that I purchased the grips from said the grips would holdup to the SBH.

Had a buffalo horn grips from Ajax on my 44 magnum Ruger Super Blackhawk. Put countless number of magnums through the gun and the grips held up well.
