    Grip opinions

    Ok, is it just me, or do others feel like a pistol grip is not an appropriate place for a crucifix? I really like the looks of the “hand of God” grips, but.....

    Well a crufix is a Catholic Symbol, not used in Protestant churches. We use the empty cross, to make the statement that we don't have a dead Jesus but a resurrected Christ. It is just a personal choice, but I would not have either a crufix or a cross on my handgun grips.

    Somehow it doesn't seem appropriate to me, no matter your affiliation.

    if you don't have a sword, sell your coat and buy a sword.



    a crucifix usually refers to the depiction of Christ on the cross.
    a cross usually refers to an 'empty' cross.

    i'm sure anyone could draw blasphemous conclusions to ANY place a cross might be.
    necklace, ear rings, cuff links, bumper sticker on an import car.

    if you want a cross on your grips, go for it. if you don't, don't.
    (and don't worry about anyone else's grips)



    good luck!

    As a Christian, I don't have an issue with it. Guns aren't evil. Trijicon puts scripture on their sights. I like that.

    I wouldn't do it, but wouldn't have any issues with anyone else that has them.

    It's one of those deals where 'its a decision you get to make'.
