I am looking for a new set of grips for my 1911. I currently have a Taurus with the bulls head walnut grips and love the feel of those grips and want 2 more sets for my other 1911's I measured and they were .2750" thick so is that the standard size grip unless they are stated to be thin profile? I really like the VZ Double Diamond Black Desert G10's are they .2750" thick? Also are the square bottom's just not tapered or is it something else. A good place to find them cheap would be good also.
Thanks

Read my thread here about the grips I bought for my 1911s. I put them on virtually all of them.

I found these guys at the NRA Convention last May. To me, they're the perfect blend of aggressive feel, looks & quality.

Good luck!

I have to throw my vote in for Davidson's grips. IMHO the best 1911 grips anywhere and great customer service.

I have tried numerous times to buy a pair of Shredders. I cant get a E-mail response from him, and I refuse to use E-bay.

Id love to have a pair. You wouldnt think it would be so hard to buy something.

Got any way to streamline the purchase of them?

Standard grip thickness is much closer to .250"... this can vary.. thicker or thinner by the manufacturer... and their style of grip making, materials used, ect.

Mil-Tacs, VZ and Davidsons are fine grips. If traction and price are driving the train, may I suggest vcd (vaya con dios) grips.

I'm rocking a set of VZ double diamonds in maroon micarta at the moment, but I have some hand cut smooth english walnut grips waiting for me in Arizona.
