1911 Leather Grips

Hi all! I was wondering, have any of you guys seen these grips made by Altamont Company? Altamont Leather Grip Line

Apparently, it's a new line they've developed.

They look like it would be awesome furniture for the safe-queen 1911's, such as the über-dollar Caspian in Damascus steel, whihc someday I will own....

Being a tactical type from too many years of being a LEO and Mil, I have serious doubts about how they will perform once your hands get wet with sweat, slime, mud, etc.

I want deep sharp checkering, and lots of it.

I made a set for my 1911. Leather covered in stingray. Not sure how well smooth leather would hold up during use and sweat, oil and other grimmy issues though.
