The ones in the bottom picture are Wilson Combat grips. You can find them here: http://www.wilsoncombat.com/a_grips_micarta.asp

If you like the Micarta patterns, you should also check out VZ Grips (they're on a banner at the top of the page). I just got a set in the Desert Blonde and I like them a lot.They don't have the medallion insert, but I'm no fan of advertising for Bill Wilson anyway.

Hope this helps.

thanks for pointing that out jim; i just found vz grips a little while ago and thought that one of the patterns looked suspiciously like the one pictured... :o

i guess the medallion threw me off; would be nice to have one with the para logo. i guess i'll see if they can do that. thanks again!

I won't be surprised if VZ Grips is supplying these to Wilson Combat, they do so with several other pistol makers.

John at VZ does great work. I'm really happy to see that he's expanded his color selections into the different versions. I just put the 320's on my RIA in the Desert Blonde and I think they look hot! Precisely machined and shipped quickly. I'm a happy camper!

They are the Desert Blonde Canvas in the 320 style.
