Got a set of these on my fancy 1911.

You could have some one gently glass bead the chrome to give it a satin look, should be very inexpensive.

You would lose pimp status however.

I've passed on several chrome guns through the years, for the usual reasons of diminishing value and garishness.

If blasted, it might be great.

I like the shiny,

And no, it isn't .38 super.

Check out Exotic Grips by Esmeralda https://esmeralda.cc/
She makes several different styles that might fit your tastes maybe an ebony wood?

I had these made up for my compact 1911 they are made from Ivory wood:

A chrome 1911?

Id go with a gold toof, and grips made from faux pearl, leather, and something hot pink.  And fur.

Furry hot pink grips might look cool

I've drawn my pistol twice in self defense.  Once it was an attempted carjacking in Philly (HS2000 in the broad daylight down near Lombardy - the punk saw the pistol in my hand and rapidly unassed the area). The other time it was a couple of thuggy types waiting on the roof of a car parking deck when my car was the only one left up there at 2am down near South Street.  I had my nickel Series 70 Commander on me and let me tell you - the gentlemen that were about to brace me *all* saw it even in the dimness and ran like roaches.  A black pistol like a Glock might not have been noticed and I may have been forced to use it.  I was happy for the bright plating at that moment!

Shiny is easy to notice, which is why I usually go for stainless carry guns.

Stainless gun? Go black and "white". Ebony or buffalo horn.

Meant to type chrome as well. There's a seller on ebay who makes very nice double diamond checkered or smooth/polished buffalo horn grips, I'd go with those.

Honestly I think that would look really good, while being unusual.
