I've noticed something interesting about scale material preferences and thought I would share.

I've always thought of horn as the ultimate, followed by unique wood and then Micarta, with bone thrown in here and there.

I have access to some website click data and noticed that 'louder' Kirinite scales were getting more looks and clicks. I was recently speaking with one of the Kirinite folks. Their primary business has been making gun grips from wood, stag antler, etc...

They started making Kirinite to have something different and it took off like wildfire. They told me they think preferences are changing, that the older folks that like the materials I mentioned are passing on and the new generation likes the designs in Kirinite.

I'm open minded on most things, though will have to say that anyone putting loud Kirinite grips on a 1911 Govt Model should be beaten. haha
