Pink 1911 grips?

[RAZZ]

My wife has become my new shooting partner (Yay!), and she has taken a liking to my single stack. She asked me if I could find her a set of pink grips for her. I don't want pimptastic pink pearl grips--I'm looking for a decent set of grips. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Paint some yourself or have Freedom Gunworks paint some for you.

I've done a few sets and it's not that difficult to paint yourself. I would suggest first finding the grips you want and then painting them or having them painted. This is a set I did for my Tanfoglio. They have held up pretty well. The type of paint you use and what you coat them with will depend on the material the grips are made from. If the gun is blued I would suggest tapering from a black to the pink so the transition is more gradual. On stainless or chrome they would proabably not stand out quite as much.

Nice grips NoSteel.

Those are nice grips, thanks for the suggestion. I may use this opportunity to try out some aluminum oxide grit material, and paint my own.
