I have a simple solution to your problem. Sell your Busse grips to me, either or both pairs will work. I have EDC knives to match any of them. 
There you go.... problem fixed, I get the grips I have wanted for so long and you do not have to choose what your pistol gets to wear to work. WIN / WIN situation I think. See...?, like so many of my HOG brethren I am a giver
Seriously... I would choose whatever pair is most comfortable and practical. Or just rotate as the mood strikes.
Actually the Sheriffs I have seen here in West Texas carry black plastic pistols. :barf:
.45 pistols RULE!! see signature line below!!
Regards,
Nick

Mark,
I don't personally think the buffalo is too decorative for a duty gun, but I guess I might think otherwise if I saw it in person. Still, there are some great manufacturers that have grips with designs on the sides--Nighthawk and Springfield Armory are the two that come to mind immediately. I would not think carrying any of those would be inappropriate for duty.
And I hear you on the abrasive issue. I know of at least one high end custom maker that does incredible front and back strap checkering, but I have been told that it is so abrasive that shooting for any length of time becomes more of a chore than enjoyment.

Black for duty, snake for show.
But ... if Jerry will make a set ... go for Blue/Black G10!! It's just too cool to ignore.

I like the black Micarta the best. Those are awesome. The snake is a bit too flash, and the buffalo on the Simonich grips is.... kinda ghey IMO.

it makes reloads significantly easier. we train to reload at the "ready gun", muzzle downrange, tight to the center of the body. since it is not a visual reload, the mag well helps quite a bit. though im not totally sold on it, im planning to give one a try.

There! I knew Mark's common sense would prevail.
We don't want anyone ... anyone! ... mistaking our young LEO for anything but the consummate professional.

Mark,
The Black Busse grips are all business...leave em on...they're great! If some dish soap won't clean em up, try some Bix. I noticed that it cleans micarta to brand new when I was using it to strip a old user.
The buffalo should stay on the nickle....looks a little funky on your gun
. The snakeskin is a little too flash for duty..I definitley agree on that. I like my snakeskins, but they're on a gun I only take to the desert/range.
