I’m making 1911 grips. Want some feed back on these.

The bottom bevel specifically.

Not trying to advertise. I’m looking for honest feed back. Lots of grips come with different bevels etc. looking at grips by Esmeralda she has a damn near nonexistent bevel.

Is that even something you look at in a grip unless you want it cut flat for a flared magwell?

I actually prefer leaving them flat cut.

Is a beveled bottom a necessity to you?

Mods, if this is too grey delete it, no worries.

The bevel looks nice in that situation....    most custom grip makers I have encountered leave them flat (magwell cut) until paid for, and will bevel to customer preference.....

Imo if the gun doesn’t have a magwell then the grips should be beveled or they just don’t look right. Nice grips your making by the way.

They’ve grown on me without but I totally see what you are saying. I appreciate your feed back.

That’s why I’m asking

For reference. I actually like the look of no bevel all straight cut.

I also like the beveled look on guns with no magwell added. Your bevel looks gtg!
