I like what Steve is having made, only difference for me would be I like the checkering and thinness of the Pasadena grips, have them anodized satin black and I think your on to something and they will never break even if dropped.
William is a true craftsman so I will have a few projects for him when he has time Ed

It would be really difficult to do. I have tried aluminum grips on guns, not auto mags, and they are extremely hard to keep tight. Most grip materials flex some so you can tighten them up good. Aluminum did not flex enough to tighten and without hours and hours of fitting, it is about impossible to get them to match up to the grip frame. Can you checker titanium? If it is thin and not a perfect match they could crack.

I have played around with Titanium and I really don't think they could crack but i'm no expert, just an Electrical contractor, it's about the same weight as Aluminum but with the strength of Steel, anyone else work with it
Now checkering Titanium that's totally different, I would not know where to start that's why I need to talk to William about my idea Ed

Steve............Your killing me small's
I have an idea how about lead you can melt it and pour it into a mold and it can contour to your particular frame and will never crack or break but sure will bend........................on second thought strike that thought Just waiting to see the finished product Ed

William's job is now complete on this set (#1) of Titanium grips.
When I receive them I'll set some time aside for fine sanding & polishing so no more images for a while.
