WildOkDee Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 What is your favored grips? Slim, thick, smooth, checkered, name brand? Mine are slim, inexpensive, but just received some Alumagrips - standard checkered - to be installed and tested soon as I find a range open to use them. OkD Quote
Boggus Deal Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 I prefer thin. My fingers are short and fat. Quote
Blackfoot Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Hey Dee, Are you having a grip problem or just experimenting? I recommend using just one hand! Blackfoot :D Quote
Happy Jack Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 I get mine from mil-tec. Rough and ready. Quote
DUSTY BODDAMS Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Elephant ivory! Carved for style points. 🤠 not just to shoot good but to look good doing it! Quote
Elwood James Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 We have a vendor that will make a personalized grip with a mag release cut out. Thin or regular. We have the territorial marshal logo with our alias on them. You provide the design they make it happen. The Osage Orange goes really well with a blue gun. Walnut for stainless. If you want something different they can make it happen. I can’t post from my iPhone. PM me a POC and I’ll send some pics of the Walnut and Osage Orange grips.. $50 bucks the last time I checked.

UnionJack Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 I use Hogue aluminium thin grips.Very aggressive checkering .They make a super thin one as well but find the sides a bit flat . Quote
Johnson County Mike Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Hi, with all this talk of grips I went over to the "Ahrends" web site. Kim Ahrends has made grips starting in the '80's and is a great guy. I have several of his grips on my 1911's. I have always liked wood on my semi-autos. The bad news is that he was forced to declare bankruptcy as his wife and business partner has passed away. I also learned that Cocobolo wood has been declared "endangered" and is no longer imported into the US. I guess the bank took over his company and plans on selling grips under that name. regards, Mike Quote
Grouchy Spike Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 OKD, have a look at LOK Grips - thick, thin, color options, texture options: https://lokgrips.com/1911-gun-grips/ Quote
J. Frank Norfleet Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 The shape I really like are the oval grips that came on my Colt Wiley Clapp. They are thin in the front and thick in the back. Unfortunately they are too slick for me. So, I use the standard VZ grips with sharp checkering. Mil-Tac sells grips with an oval profile but their checkering is not sharp enough for me. JFN Quote
WildOkDee Posted April 7, 2020 Author Posted April 7, 2020 Well.....Sure are a lot of options. Damn, sure does put a dent in the CC, gotta be careful. LOL . Quote
