These are My current Ones from Zipps Grips. Love the Buckeye Burl. Have G10’s for all Mine but appreciate the Beauty of Wood as well.

I just won these on an auction, but it ought to count as custom.

They're going to look great (at least to me) on my Les Baer Premier II with my vintage Neon Green C.P. Mag Pads! :)

The stocks arrived in the mail yesterday, and I cut the notch for an ambidextrous safety and installed them on my Les Baer .45.

Here are the results:

I think they look just right! :):D:):cool:

Ok, I’ll play...

Here’s a sampling from Sarge, Esmeralda, Wicked Grips, Wood Calibre and Grips by Larry.

I had these made for my dad, a retired firefighter. He has an original Colt 1911 in .38 Super he bought back in the 50s or 60s I'm guessing.

Blurred out his name.

EDIT to add: Took a while to find it, but adding a pic of the grips on my Sig GSR that I took prior to giving them to him.

Usually associated with revolver grips/stocks, these are by John Hurst, never been on a gun. Just keep them in the little display box next to an unused set of revolver grips by John. Like a little art show (to me anyway). Not sure what wood , they are very dense , with a nice grain , you can see in person.

I have a pair of rubber Hogue palm swell grips on my lightly customized RIA GI clone. I really like the palm swell on them. The ones you pictured have a bit more swell and look like they would fill a hand perfectly.

Thought about getting the palm swell grips that Hogue makes, but ultimately decided to just get a regular set of cocobolo slabs.
