Black Rosewood Gun Grips
Black Wood Grips for 1911 and Colt Python, Cut for Your Frame
Black rosewood is the darkest wood we carry. It has a deep, near-ebony tone with fine grain that shows in the light, and it looks especially sharp against stainless, nickel and blued frames. If regular rosewood reads too red and walnut too warm, black wood grips are the answer.
Every set is cut for one specific frame, not “fits most”. Choose from 1911 grips in checkered, carved, dragon scale and pearl-accent styles, Colt Python and Anaconda revolver grips, and sets for Heritage Rough Rider, Ruger Wrangler, Pietta, Bersa, Rossi and Rock Island. Most install in under 10 minutes with hardware included.

Each product page lists its exact fit.
Black rosewood Colt Python and Anaconda grips. Black rosewood suits the new Colt Python (2020+) and Anaconda (2021+) frames. Pick plain or checkered panels, scrollwork and scales, or pearl-accent sets with gold rearing-horse, Punisher, screaming eagle, Texas star and Colt-letter medallions.

Black Rosewood vs Rosewood vs Ebony
Black rosewood: near-black with subtle grain. Dark and modern on the gun, at a mid-range price.
Rosewood: warm reddish-brown with visible grain. The classic look, at a similar price.
Ebony: jet black with almost no visible grain. Very formal, expensive and rare on factory-style grips.

FAQs
How dark are black rosewood grips compared to standard rosewood?
Black rosewood is significantly darker; deep, near-ebony in tone with a subtle natural grain. Standard rosewood is warm and reddish-brown. If you want wood grips that read dark rather than warm, black rosewood is the right call.
What frame finishes work best with black rosewood gun grips?
Black rosewood gun grips look best on stainless, nickel-plated, and chrome frames where the contrast between the dark panels and light metal is most visible. They also work on blued frames for an all-dark, understated look.
Is black rosewood the same as ebony?
No. Ebony is a different, rarer and more expensive wood that’s almost solid black. Black rosewood gives a similar dark, ebony-style look while still showing some natural grain, at a far lower price.
Do blackwood handgun grips show scratches or wear over time?
Dark rosewood is less likely to show light surface scratches compared to lighter wood finishes. The deep tone hides minor wear well, making it a practical choice for carry guns that see regular holster use.
Which guns do you make black rosewood grips for?
Mainly the full-size 1911 (Colt Government pattern and most clones) and the 2020+ Colt Python and 2021+ Anaconda. We also have sets for Heritage Rough Rider, Ruger Wrangler, Pietta, Bersa, Rossi and Rock Island. Each product page lists its exact fit. If you’re unsure, send us your make and model before ordering.
Will black rosewood grips fade or lose their dark color over time?
No. Black rosewood is naturally dark throughout, the color isn’t a surface stain. With basic care like wiping after use and an occasional coat of oil or wax, the wood maintains its deep finish and actually develops a richer patina with age and handling.
