Lets see some of your favorite grips.

[Trey83]

I have been looking at the different styles of 1911 grips and have found a few really nice ones. Post some pictures of your favorite 1911 grips. Here are a few that I have found very appealing.

I'm going to take a different approach to start here. While I've said over and over, that a nice set of beautifully grained wood grips are my favorite, I also love the nostalgia of the original maroon plastic grips on the WWII era 1911A1s.

They're proudly displayed here on these two old USGIs. :cool:

I talked to Ryan today about getting a set of these in satin finish. Won't be as smooth as gloss, and I wonder if I drop in a 25LPI EB MSH, if that will be grippy enough for daily use/wear.

I think bac had an /thread moment with thinking outside the box; especially considering his collection , but I am very partial to these. http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/hatchetwound2008/1911-24.jpg

[airflyer]

these are my two favorites but they are the only two 1911s that i own so far i really like nice checked wood but i like the blue carbon fiber grips on the Les Baer alot http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy196/airflyer/6-4-10112.jpg

[sjones]

Anybody? take a look at my post on this forum under grips and see if you can give me an answer?thanks a lot.I haven't found any that looks like they would match.Thanks again. sj

[Patriot78]

^^ Those are nice, but the loud background really detracts from the picture. You should try something more subtle.... soothing even. Might I suggest a neutral colored carpet , champagne or aue naturale . Something you could spill a saugvinon blanc on and it not leave a stain , something the NPR crowed would appreciate if it wasn't befouled with dirty 1911's..... Bac ... your Jedi photo skills need to be passed to the young padawan.

Actually, that gun pictured, is exactly what I have. Those are Rosewood grips. The newer Stainless fulsize Raptors that have the silver trigger, have the Zebra wood grips. They vary quite a bit in shade. The Stainless Pro and Stainless Ultra Raptors pictured above have the Zebra wood grips. I kinda wished that they all matched, but I call those three, my blonde, brunette and red head hotties :)

Boy after looking at these pictures, I didn't realize just how ugly my glocks are. Wow, incredible.

Question, why is on some of the guns the lower part of the handle cut (relieved)? Is that so when carried in forward cant it won't hit your hand?

Now I have to get a 1911.... sweet.

:rofl:

if you are referring to this style (bobtail), it helps reduce printing of the gun. also helps to prevent getting poked in the ribs/side.
