1911 Grips

[SDM44]

I finally held/gripped a 1911 that had the VZ Operator II grips on it. At first, they were a bit sharp but felt fine in my hands when I had a good grip. That being said, they would tear my hand up if I started rubbing or grinding my palm into the, but that's what the pattern is designed to prevent from happening. Even for being one of the most aggressive grips that VZ offers, they actually felt pretty good in my hand.

I may pick up a pair later on to play around with them.

ERGO makes a rubber with a flat bottom for magwells. They cost about $15 to $20.

Thanks. I ordered some for $20 shipped and they should be here later this week. I'll see how I like them.

You will like ERGO grips a lot

I can't possibly photograph all my grips, but here's a sample or two. Most are Ahrends.

That is literally a **** ton of 1911s. What a beautiful collection!

OH! you have a RIA in jail...

one thing that you might want to watch out for when looking for grips, RIA uses a funky ambidextrous safety (if you got one with the ambidextrous that is) I know that VZ is now offering an option to cut for the RIA safety though I am unsure about others.
it is nothing major - or rather it is nothing major for a Dremel


Also those are just some of the many options of grip screws that fit 1911s

I put VZ Operators in Hyena Brown on my RIA Tac and I had to sand a tiny bit off the top on the right side panel for the safety lever to not touch it. I used a Dremel with a fine sanding drum. Didn't damage the panel and you really can't even notice it. Not a big deal. Used the OE screws to attach them, no problems. Good luck.
