Thread: My new 1911 grips

These are like fine scales for a gun...check these puppies out solid pewter by John Adams...they will go on a stainless steel 1911 government model. I'll post pics once I receive them and replace my old grips.

Very nice, I've been competing with my 625 this year but a limited 10 match might be fun. Do you use these on a carry gun? I've still got the neoprene on my carry gun. I think those would look nice on a blued gun too.

They might look nice on a two-tone weapon as well, blued on top with the bead-blasted lower.

Heck, those grips'd look good on a Lorcin.

Niiiiiiiiice!!!!!!!!

cool, I like the wood look myself and got some cocobolo grips for mine from esmerelda O'sheehan, she makes gorgeous grips

GRRRR....upon closer inspection these were not made for an ambi safety! I can't believe I forgot aout that (Im a lefty). So back on Ebay they go I'll have to email John Adams and have him make me a set for ambi safety....

Ohwell....easy come easy go lol

best set of grips I`ve seen in a long time,I still think that the old 1911 design is the best and safest that there is ,I know I`ll open a can of worms But I cant stand glocks Our police force was issued with them a while back and that many shot them selves in the foot it wasn`t funny,safty on the trigger ,how dumb is that
You can all yell at me now
Kind regards Peter
PS with the correct training it may make a difference but firearms training 1 or 2 times a year ,it isn`t enough

You can all yell at me now

I doubt anyone that contributed to this thread will yell at you over that assertion.

Glocks are a love it or hate it thing. I wont carry one ever again because I worried to much, but at the same time. I cant remember a single jam or problem and field stripping the thing is very simple. Its a very simple setup and generally whenever you pull the trigger they go bang, which again was part of my issue. I carry my 1911 cocked and locked, for speed reasons, and I HATED the thought of doing that with a glock, especially for IWB carry.

I have heard from a number of LEOs that they hate their glocks but its their department standard issue so they cant do anything about it.

Anyway its 1911 for me unless there is so little clothing involved that I carry my S&W 340PD HVIZ Great little gun...a ton of recoil though 12oz .357 lol, but great hammerless design for snagless pocket carry.
