1911 grips

[Mity2]

I have been looking for grip for my 1911's - My SA loaded, and Colt commander(Still i n layaway tho).

I've been very much interested in grip made with desert iron wood, and Afzelia burl wood, but can't find anyone selling one. wickedgrips.com is all sold out, and I'm not sure who else sells them.

Anyone can point me out to right direction?

I have some kiln-dried Pennsylvania White Ash burl left that I used to make a set of grip stocks for my Springfield 1911A1 Mil-Spec. I never made stocks for someone else, but these came out good. I have a large-ish hand so these are a bit heavier stock ,3/16" thicker each side. I also have ready access to other species of Pennsylvania hardwoods.

I preferred to leave the blemishes in for character but stabalized them with cyanoacrylate. If your grip stocks are identical to the Springfield, I can duplicate them, or if you send me the factory stocks, I could make a set to match. I can't match the blemishes to these, or guarantee no blemishes. I can book-match the stocks or have each side unique like I did with these.

I know it took me about 4-5 hours to make these. If I just add something for the materials, they would be about $125 for a pair (with my first customer discount). Your choice of finish. Just give me a couple of weeks to make them if you want them

i may take up on that offer. Can you post more detailed(upclose) pic of your grip?

[LastManOut]

Sure can. I'll do the photos and send them via PM in the morning.

I found I can not post pics on a PM. I'll post them here for you. the finish is 4 coats of satin hand rubbed Danish Oil. The extra thickness is at the flat of the frame, the rest of the stocks are to factory dimensions +/-

Wow! Those are sharp looking. Can you make them for other handguns, or just 1911s right now?

I guess if I have a set of factory grip stocks that I can copy, I could make a set to fit most any style of gun with replaceable panels.

I really hadn't thought about any of this before Mity's post.
