S&W686 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I use Techwell grips along with their magwells on my 1911's and they have worked very well for me. I like their thin grips the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anbrumm Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I have the VZ Recon grips. They are very aggressive, but very grippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlestiller Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I know they aren’t the most aggressive, but I get the best purchase on my 1911’s with VZ Recon grips. They just seem to glue my hands to the pistol.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcm Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I took cheap plastic grips, sanded off the checkering and put on skateboard tape for my USPSA gun. First pair lasted about 10 years before they finally cracked. Second pair has been on for the past 5-6 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_shoots_fast Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I have VZ grips in my 1911 and it’s really tacky. Check those out. I really like mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.45 ACP nut Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 You might try these: http://www.sgmgrips.com/1911_vigilante_series/1911_xs_shredder_page I have a set that I bought about 8 years ago - Larry Davidson XS Shredders - Very aggressive grip. Same price as in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Ended up going with a set of Armanov SpidErgo grips - same as the ones I run on my S2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBertolet Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Try the Magpul grips, they have a coarse textured finish, and cost less than $20. Cheap enough to try, with little to lose. I have 3 sets on various 1911's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKorn Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I’m using LOK Grips “LOK Ops” texture. It’s essentially the same as the LOK Grips “Spec Ops” or VZ Grips “Operator 2” textures, but with the ridge portion running 90 degrees to the way it does on those textures. This makes the ridges oppose the gun’s motion in recoil, essentially causing it to dig in more as the gun pushes back into your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Week3 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Wilson’s aggressive starburst grips are my favorite for all of my 1911s...provide great grip without tearing up your hands. https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Grips-Full-Size-Black-G10-Aggressive-Starburst-Pattern-Beveled-Bottom/productinfo/738-FS-BB-BLK/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norther Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I’ve tried a few different styles. My current favorite is VZ Diamondbacks. More aggressive than most. I like them rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Rob Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Railscales makes some super aggressive grip panels. It felt like i was gripping a cactus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belus Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) I've tried a variety and have concluded there's at least two dimensions to this question: texture and geometry. I think geometry matters more. Even the most aggressive thin profile grips I could find would let the gun slip backwards in my hand. I just didn't have enough space between my strong hand finger tips and weak hand palm to take advantage of the texture there. My 1911s now wear the DS Perman grips with skateboard tape. You can change the tape to a more or less aggressive grit, and you'll always have enough surface area to get good contact. eta: the Permans are also very light so it gives you room to use a steel mainspring housing or solid guide rod.

Salsantini Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 VZ Stipple grips are very aggressive. https://vzgrips.com/products/1911-vz-stipple-full-size-grips.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigzeke Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I have run VZ Simonich Gunners for a couple of years. They are very sharp though. Like uncomfortable for most people sharp. After 4-500 rounds they will leave my hands tender and I have fairly rough hands. Nobody I shoot with likes them, but if you want aggressive they are hard to beat.
