Greetings,
I'm sure Kimber can sell you a set of their grips, albeit they're imitations. Rob Simonich, former owner of Simonich Knives, invented a G10 grip called "Gunner Grips" with a dimpled, golfball pattern which offered a good, positive grip, and since they're G10, no catching on clothing, seatbelts, etc,. He was killed in a car accident not terribly long ago, and the business is kept on by his wife, Christine. Their website is http://www.simonichknives.com, and I believe they're still purchased through email or over the phone, there is no "marketplace" type area where they can be ordered online. The grips are great, and come in many colors. Best of all, they don't completely slap Rob in the face when you buy them, unlike Kimber's copy.
-Nikolai
