Good evening everybody.

Just put a few rounds through the 1911 clone and extremely impressed.

I would really appreciate some pictures of grips that you replaced the brown plastic with, just to give me ideas.

Thank you.

SDS with cheap walnut grips from Sarco. Sorry for crappy pic all I got right now. FWIW it’s been trouble-free for around 100 rounds through it so far. " />

Just checked-out the price on those SARCO walnut grips and WOW! very nice.

They look a bit light in your pic, are they stained at all?

ETA: And how aggressive is the checkering?

Checkering is not very aggressive, about like the stock plastic ones. They’re not stained, but I figure they’ll darken with use.
ETA: If ya want more stylish grips, Numrich has a set of checkered Rosewood with Swiss cross for $10 IIRC.
ETA2: Swiss cross OOS, only Astra logo left I wanted a pair...

I'm a fan of wood grips on my 1911's
How fancy do you want to go?
Esmeralda https://esmeralda.cc/ makes some very nice exotic grips that are very nice. (ivory wood, semi custom design)

Another of my favorites is Skip checkered by Herretts or Ahrends.
