Is this sacrilege?

After

After. Improves looks and functionality. You can't go wrong there.

This reminds me of those very first FORDS that hit the sales floor.

You could buy them in ~any color~ as long as it was Black.

My qualifications for a weapon:

1. It function.
2. It functions, again.
3. Repeat #1. & # 2.
4. It does not have Pea Poor bluing, or plating, prefered satin stainless, or Nitride Finish SS.
5. prefered Parkerized, soon to explore Ceracoat, etc.
6. After all the above, bling is just optional.

However, I would like a matched pair of Glock's, with the Bird Man Gangsta style sights... ;^)

I would never USE THEM, I would just have the on the dash, so every one who looked at my car would

~think I was Gangsta !!!!!

philip, who is awake in the Boondocks this morning....

I'm with the crowd that say's it looks good...it's about ergonomics and functionality and it if works well for you and you can pound a target in rapid fire with it I say you have done well.

I like it!

I prefer the looks with the wood grips, but it's hard to argue with the laser grips, especially if you may use this gun when it's hard to see the sights.

I'm also of the crowd that says looks are secondary.

 

[unklekippy]

Looks mean nothing. I personally do not like lasers.

I carry many different guns, but my main is a RIA 1911 with a match barrel, beavertail grip safety and Hogue grips as the only "extras". She is scratched, rubbed, dinged and generally ugly. She is also guaranteed to go bang every time and accurately.

I have loved many 1911's. Some day I would like to own a Nighthawk or Wilson. I'm sure I would coddle them and be very concerned with their appearance. The one I truly love and depend on is the one that gets put up on the dash when I go in to town and sits at the dinner table with me(She's uncomfortable to wear in my dining chairs. So on the table she goes.).

In my opinion, the only "necessary" aftermarket piece for any 1911 is a NM barrel(if it didn't come with one already). I believe it to be the most underrated upgrade in the 1911 world.

Looks good, I have a set of MS grips on my 1911 as well and love them, but mine are the Walnut. Great choice! To answer the question, no...it is not Sacrilidge...

 

[Bajablast]

Will do. I am ordering them next week.

I have ordered the Crimson Trace G-10 red laser grips, they are unfortunately on back order, but as soon as I get them installed, pics will follow........

Whatever works for you. I say go for it.

 

[Bajablast]

The laser grips arrived today. Here is what they look like on my Springfield Stainless Officer model:



Sorry for the pic, old camera.

I was afraid that you were going to cerekote it purple or something like the Sig Master Shop series.
