After a bottle of Willet and 150 rounds through my new Colt, my buddy sprays some kind of solvent on it and attempts to clean it for me in the dark. Laminate finish on rosewood grips ruined. What are the badass OB 1911 addicts recommendations for grips? Looking at the VZ's and can't decide. It's a bi-tone Combat Elite dying for something to set it off.

hopefully this wasn't the correct order.

I actually took my nice wood grips off and went with an OD Green rubber cheapo grip. I like the green and black look...

That way I don't worry about messing up the nice wood, and I can always replace them looking brand new if I decide to sell it.

VZ's are good but the grip can be pretty aggressive and takes some getting used to if all you've used are the stockgrips.

I have a pair of these from Raasco Grips on my Colt Combat Commander. The color is called Charcoal Silvertone. I love them because I wanted something just a little different than standard wood grips.

These are a set of cocabolo grips from Larry Davidson knife works.

Tough to beat VZ gunners if you like aggressive grips like I do.

Rosewood.


All that other stuff looks like a New Orleans pimp's gun.
Except those Costanza ones, those are sweet.
