Had Chris at AlumaGrips make these bad-boys up for my Springfield TRP Operator. The original sandstone grips were a tragedy... while in the traditional hard-shell blue case that the TRP's come in, the sand wore off from the grips and essentially "sandblasted" the armory kote finish of my 1911. I'll be sending it back to Springfield soon for refinishing, but as you can see I removed the original grips and replaced them with these custom AlumaGrips. I went for the silver finish for contrast, and the most aggressive checking available. I had him custom engrave the Springfield Armory crossed cannons logo in the circle and they did a great job of aligning them so they are level when the pistol is.
All in all, I'm 100% satisfied... I believe I paid $112 for them, but it was money well spent...
