I think that grips with a lot of pattern or expecially darker grips look quite good on stainless pistols. To me, on the simple end, a stippled or patterned wenge, or Moradillo would be nice. Of course, Amboyna burl or something with that vibrant color would be great also! Really, it's your pistol and YOU have to be happy with it. There are many woods out there to choose from, just make sure it's something that makes it unmistakably YOUR pistol. That's the fun of it!
I promised pics of grain cut pheasantwood and here it is. You can see why they named it pheasantwood, the grain looks a lot like pheasant feathers both in texture and color. The yellows, browns and a few greens mimic the feather quite well. There is a lot of shimmer and reflectivity that jsut won't show in a still pic. Sorry, you almost have to see it to get it. Anyway, a beautiful wood that stands out.
Enjoy!
