Put some thin grips on my Kimber compact. I like them. Not as hand filling as the Wilsons, but I can get a solid grip on em'. The grip screw bushing threads were stripped so I had to "chase" the frame threads with a tap. Added a little red loctite and they're good to go.
Going to the range tommorow for a field test.



Used AlumaHyde II on this bbl extension (aluminum). I didn't bead blast the metal prior to finishing it, but I did de-grease it with carb cleaner. This is the dark Park. grey.
Takes a week to cure, but now its hard as a rock. I'll bet it holds up well.



And last but not least is my Labrador and my gopher gun, just because she's such a good girl and its a nice rifle.

I have slim grips on all of my 1911s.

Where did you get those grips?  I think grips like that would look awesome on my Beretta Elite II.
