Got me some VZ ETC Frags.
Since there are 1000000000 options out there. It boggles the mind 
Ive been using pachmayrs on my MEUSOC type build since 2008. Best grips ever. But now that I have a NH, I want to try some new types.

VZ GRIPS.

They are like running shoes. Look around for some that look good to you, then try to hold a pistol with them on. The biggest differences I can see are the looks and the texture. Some have very aggressive texturing and some are so smooth I wonder if they would slip when gripped. |

My last gucci tactical 1911 was an STI that I put 10-8 Yam signature grips on. Amazing grips, but waaaaaaaaay to rough for carry.
The NH has alumagrips, which are nice, but really don't have much purchase. Im thinking of staying with slim grips since I will carry this bitch. |

All but two of my 1911's have Navidrex thin grips.
Those were all put on years ago, if I were to do it again VZ grips would be the choice.

My 1911-A1 GI has a nice set of RAASCO maroon canvas micartas on it. Slick-sided but not slippery, plus they look a lot better than the 'US' emblazoned stock Springfield grips.

Once you've used the best, none of the frilly sissy grips are gonna satisfy.
Get a new set of Pachmayrs for the NH.

VZGrips, have a set of marine digicamo Aliens on my TRP. Besy grip you can get for any type of tac shooting, a little rough for ccw though.

I like the old school double diamond checkered grips. These are in rosewood done by Herrett's on my Les Baer.
These are very cheap compared to custom grips but If I had the extra bucks I'd definitely go with Esmeralda's Grips.

Many buy multiple sets of grips to switch out as mood changes. Others, seeing all of these extra grips laying around, buy more 1911s to mount them to.

I hate to say this, but I think I paid much less than that brand new from Midway. I'd have to double check but it seems to me it was more like 15 w/o shipping.
I forgot to hit quote, sorry about that. See below. |

Ive been using pachmayrs on my MEUSOC type build since 2008. Best grips ever. But now that I have a NH, I want to try some new types. There are only a few types of grips that have 'class'. The rest of them are junk, so leaves you only with about a dozen types to chose from, with usually about a dozen choices within each type. |
