Hello Yank , Yes the skull is in deep relief and is almost 3D in nature . They in fact do offer a grip surface that is better then the plain aluminum R9 grips that I have . I was told the blacken portion of the design is obtained via a dura coat process . The only thing I may do , to aid in texture , is to bead blast the non skull portion . This should match the slide and floor plate I purchased from you and reduce the slick nature of the polished metal . But Scott 's CnC process repeats the spring cutout on the back right grip slab and pin holes exact . He even cut round head screws to replace the flat factory ones . If anyone comes up with a nice Grim Riper design . I would jump at the chance to own a pair of them as well . That would give me more reason to purchase a second R9 !
I will see if KJ will do the post of photos for me once he reads this and sends me his email . SO please feel free to message me . Thanks a ton gents !
