Kirinite Revolver grips question

Anyone out there in Ruger Revolver land that have installed Eagle Kirinite Grips on there revolvers? The bright blue ones would look great on high gloss SS!
Any issues from normal and extensive usage. I'm not a fan of the Ruger imitation ivory grips. I have now cracked my second pair. I know do not over tighten. But well it happened.
Thank you

I believe Kirinite is a fancy word for plastic, FWIW.

Maybe a resin?

"Kirinite is a handle material made of durable acrylic featuring a swirl of strands in different colors for contrast. This material combines a smooth appearance with a solid grip to the hand on even the highest polish. It can be used for woodworking techniques at slow speeds and low temperatures that are then polished with a soft wheel or by hand. Find Kirinite in an array of colors and sizes."

And acrylic is a type of good quality plastic.

I only pointed out the nature of Kirinite because it sounds sort of like the name of a mineral.

Thanks for all the responses.
Perhaps someone has a spare left simulated ivory grip with Ruger medallion for original vaquero for the time being! Just asking

If you put a spacer between the grips you can tighten without worry about cracking.

TY, I learned about that a few days ago. Never too old to learn new things. I sacrificed a bic pen and did just that! Been a Ruger fan for 30+ years. Now that I'm retired I can appreciate the tools even more.

I've fitted & installed the Eagle Kirinite grips on my Uberti; I bought them in the configuration that would allow me to make a one-piece grip since the Uberti has a 'Colt-type' grip frame that allows such an installation. The fitting is as easy as any polymer material i.e. I literally sand the material to fit my frame and then polish the grips using a polishing wheel on my drill press with white jewelers rouge as the polishing compound. I learned that a lower speed on the drill press keeps me from burning plastics so I used that speed on these "plastic-polymer" grips. I'm no expert in this area, but they turned out much better than I expected.

I'm fond of Micarta grips. Ruger has used them from time to time. Super rugged. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micarta
