Chuck Anderson Posted September 5 So I just finished up a 1911 build and I’m a bit stalled. Damascus slide and black nitride everything else. The original plan was some mammoth ivory grips, but not sure if something else might look better. Pure BBQ gun, no competition purpose. Just looking for something to finish it off that will set off the damascus. Any suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yigal Posted September 5 https://www.exclusivefoldingknives.com/1911_stag_grips.html maybe this will fit your damascus "sword " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jkcolo22 Posted September 6 Wow. There are some ugly grips out there. Pretty gun. Sticky with ivory. Classic look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mlmiller1 Posted September 8 Ivory or POSSIBLY a set from Esmerelda....something with rich but subtle color in wood. You dont want peoples eyes going to grips first... first look should be that damascus then as you drool over that, let rest of the gun & the grips push you over the top so to speak. Very nice gun!

old558 Posted September 8 Check out High figure grips, very friendly and helpful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WoodrowAugustus Posted September 10 Cherokee Hills or High Figure Grips. Both are amazing. I’d go with a grey/darker dyed Box Elder burl or Buckeye burl that stays with the cool neutral colors of your slide and frame. Don’t introduce warm red/orange/yellow woods.

Salsantini Posted September 13 I always liked a nice pair of checkered Rosewood grips. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacLethal Posted September 18 I have a pair of Lok grips coming for my Springfield RO, I’ll try to remember to post pics and a review of how they feel on the hands shooting. I’m used to PT grips and Patriot Defense grips do hoping they are at least as grippy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
