Show Your 1911 Grips

[Tex929rr]

A few years back I purchased some custom 1911 grips. One set had the Republic of Texas seal, and the other set had the state seal. That particular guy went out of business and I recently found someone who made me a couple of sets that I like a lot. I’m always looking for something new. Please post pics of your favorite grips.

I have a set of sweetheart grips on my Springfield G.I. M1911A1 with Carole Landis on them. When I bought them, I was looking for a picture of a "girl next door" type from the 1940s, and thought she fit the bill!

She was an angel who left this earth far too soon!

I also have a nice set of Texas carved mesquite grips on a Springfield Lightweight Operator but I don't have a pic of it to post at the moment...

A cube? As in singular? I'm not happy with such a low sugar content. I want it to have the consistency of Galveston beach sand.

Custom AlumaGrips that were made over a decade ago (https://www.alumagrips.com/). The name is blurred out at the bottom of the emblem to protect the mostly innocent.

I've had mesquite grips and some other fancy ones that weren't very practical. Some woods have to be milled thick in order to be durable; the mesquites cracked under about 0.5 ounces too much pressure on the screws; and I like a bit of aggressive texturing wherever I can get it. The AlumaGrips fit the bill.

And now that I'm bringing it up, I think I'll get a new custom-etched set for a commander-sized gun. Great. You guys just cost me another $100...
