ck1 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) If you looking for something off the beaten path or even just plain-jane but super high quality when it comes to new grips, Larry Davidson is the man. The guy is such a pleasure to deal with that I just wanted to give him some free advertising (as if he's not already busy enough as it is, he makes a lot of the top-quality OEM G10 grips for most of the top-shelf 1911-makers', while still doing custom orders for us average guys since that's what got him rolling). These are custom ordered "Shredders" precision cut to work with the Techwell system per my request and also with lightening cuts on the back to save a little more weight. He delivered these in 10 days and they only cost $5 more (and in some cases a lot less) than off the shelf G10 grips and they're exactly what I wanted. Custom craftsmanship like this is rarely if ever this accessible and affordable. He's got some pretty unique designs he'll pull off, maybe think up something cool and drop him a line sometime.

lukec44 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 What did those run you? I like the groove to the mag release. Also what trigger is that on your trojan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeMartens Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 He does have nice stuff, got a pair on my Nowlin single stack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSSOH22 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Nice grips! He definitely makes some nice stuff. The strigger is SVI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avezorak Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Holy crap thats nice. I now know exactly what Im gonna grt for my SA. I wanted to put a TW SP on it but wasnt pleased with the grip offerings from Techwell. That is super sexy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck1 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 The grips were $85, but that's more than usual because I had them cut to work with the Techwell, pretty sure Larry's usual price is about $75 with anything you want short of the Techwell recess cuts or other non-standard request.. Trigger is an SVI interchangeable w/ the medium flat. I got the Techwell bt itself sans grips from Shooters Connection, they rule too, and w/ the Enos discount they're a good bit less than most out there.

wmspdi Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Larry makes the OEM grips for Springfield Armory's TRP 1911. I ordered a pair of Warthogs from him for my RIA 9mm Tactical. They were so nice I put them on my TRP instead and moved the grips from the TRP to the RIA. I am thinking of a set of Warthogs for a Ruger 22/45RP. He does great work.

hankfan79 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 +1 On Larry. I had Larry make me a custom set of grips. At the time, the G10 Starburst grips were only available through Wilson Combat. I had him make me a pair WITHOUT the Wilson logo on it. Now that is customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck1 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) BTW, here's LD's site: http://www.davidsonknives.com/ - looks like he's in the process of updating it which is a good thing, the guy's just got so many designs that are above and beyond the usual he could show off if he wanted and his old site didn't even scratch the surface.

kreativecid Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Great guy to deal with. My non-special order grips were $65 delivered. Did the price recently go up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, think you're right and I was mistaken, he includes shipping too which knocks off another $10 when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary J Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks for the information. Those are some really nice looking grips. I will check into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartens Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I have a set on my Kimber Pro Elite. Great grips and Larry is so easy to work with on getting just about anything you want. Reminds me that I need to call him because my S&W 1911 needs a set with a mag release cutout... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Happy Gila Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 +1 for Larry's work. I've got his grips on 3 of my 1911's and love each set. If you've never worked with Larry, do yourself a favor and have him make you some custom grips... You'll be spoiled!! THG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Gene Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Oh wow, these are what I was looking for. I need to do something with my Sentry. Thanks for posting the website. WG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikethor Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I would not get grips from anybody else after dealing with Larry. Received by grenade punisher grips for my sig 1911 tacops the other day and they look and feel fantastic plus they are thicker than the stock ergo xt grips that came with the sig, which works well for my larger hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonS Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 +1 on Larry. He also makes a custom palm-swell grip, with pretty much any other option, if you want a thicker 1911 grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
