Looking for some new custom grips for.....
......My new 1911s. I hope this forum is acceptable for this post. I was unable to find a 1911 fourm,  
Alright then, I've had my two new 1911s for 3 weeks now and It's time to start thinking about dressing them up a bit, not that they don't look great right now but I've seem some beautiful custom grips on 1911s and I wanna get me some. Soon as I let my resources recover from this last splurge for a month or so I'll be ready to make my move. Some pics for illustration and some sources would be RILLY nice. Thanks.
Ruger SS SR-1911
Sig Sauer black finish 1911-22

Depending on how fancy you are looking for, Ahrends grips has some nice looking wood options. I just purchased a CMD model and am thinking his tactical models in a Red Stained Maple would look nice. Function and beauty all rolled into one.

I got these at one of our local gun shows from Cherokee Hills Handcrafted Exotic Wood Grips. ( Cherokee Hills)
These are desert ironwood but they have many different ones.
After the grips you might want some nice leather.

On my ccw 1911 I use the full wrap around rubber grips. Otherwise it's real wood grips on a 1911. I prefer to replace the original plastic 1911 grips with wood. I really would like a few pairs of exotic wood grips.
Go to; ebay search for "1911 rose wood grips" look at the s&w rose wood grips too.

I went with a set from Wicked Grips when my custom Colt was finished last fall, their stuff is top notch. Mine are ebony with zebrawood inlays. Wicked Grips custom wood grips
