Nice VZ's ....

Guess what? They are not VZ's they are Larry Davidson's "Monkey Grips". He will cut them any way you want them notice the enhanced mag release slot on the EMP. He also cuts ultra thins for people like me who have extremly small hands and in the past it is one price no matter how you order them. The Warthog and Horned lizard are very sharp textured when you recieve them. just take some 200 grit paper and take them down to suit yourself.
He is close to you in Texas and very easy to deal with.

Wow, I'm drooling!! I'm a Baer fan myself and own more than just one......

What was the base model Baer here before you sent if off to Harrison?? The fixed sights are throwing me off a bit.....

A little drop-in Wilson stainless and a set of Colt cocobolo grips transforms a Remington 1911-R1 into even more a thing of beauty ....

I never thought this thread would last so long, I see there are many others out there...so it seems that the word 1911 is a kind of Siren song of the modern day...once you hear it, your done?

Almost 110 years of loyal owners of a gun design that works, is why this kind of thread lives on.

[PinkhamR]

Ya got that right Dave ....

This one isn't as pretty as some of the others but is still a great shooter ..... to heck with holster wear and a few scratches ....

What??? Then how come so may other companies are copying the 1911 ??? You must own a Glock? .....

 

[madderg]

This is the 1911 I opted out for...it's the Sig P 220 Super Match and it handles and shoots great!!

It's a gun for God's sake. Use it and abuse it! :buttrock:

Heyyyy now, there's no need to resort to language like that... sayin' 'glock' on a family friendly site

yeah I know you know it Pinkhamr, but I think Sandman1212 was making a point that sure is true for me... after reading about 1911's for ages, owning a cheap clone, & finally actually shooting real ones, I'm hooooooooked. They have some kinda almost spiritual pull on me...The durn things are just mechanical marvels... and just oh so pretty...
