1911 grips

Based on the reply that I got on my other thread, I thought that I would put it out there for the members to post pics of their different 1911 grips to hopefully inspire me. I promise that I won't copy anybody's design, just take inspiration. I am looking at getting ivory, so if you have ivory grips, even better.

scrimshaw instead of diamond, but it would have to be damn good art, and you don't usually get that with scrimshaw as a medium. in my opinion. otherwise leave it plain. it would be a shame to wreck what's no longer in supply. on the other hand, if someone else had it, what would they do to it. eh, put some scrimshaw on it and do your best.


Any suggestion as to a design if I decide to get it scrimshawed?

    A big THANK YOU goes out to "gun runner" for the
    Pachmayr grips (1911).

    Now,since I have the grips and no 1911(but that has been on my wish list for a while now.),I'm seriously looking.I'm not gonna(can't)go out and spend a thousand bucks on one.What I need to know is,what should I look for in the $500 range(or less) that's worth the money(or is there such a thing)? I'm not thinking "new" here,but maybe that would be the way to go if there's something in that price range that any of you have experience with and find to be reliable.Simply put,what brands should I stay AWAY from?All advice is appreciated.

    If i put some of those black grips, with the ivory Punisher skull on my 1911, do you think it will look cheesy? I really like these grips, or these Ivory ones with the black punisher skull.

    Just got my 1st 1911 (Taurus PT1911.) It's great in case you were wondering, and it was priced right.

    Anyway, I'm looking for some new grips for it to spice up its appearance. I like the Springfield Armory Cocobolo grips, but any wood grips with a nice deep red brownish red would work. I'm looking for something reasonably priced and that looks good. Suggestions?

    What do you think? I have about $30 in these including the cost of the 1911 Barber dimes. [img][/img]20190216_163551_zpsvwm6g2z3.jpg
