Just what I need... more choices.
Hey, how about stopping by this thread and posting some close up color pics of the 320s. |
|
Tzyck;
Me like...how "sharp" are these grips? Close to the Gunners? Or??? |
|
Very nice.
IKOR states a good question, are these going to be as sharp/aggressive as Gunner's? I shot a 1911 with Gunner's and they were to sharp for me, actually hurt to shoot. I have a set of the Red/Black Paper Micarta and I'm very happy with them. BTW, what's the price & availability on these? |

Colt Delta Elite, 10 mm. Now THAT is a bucket of hot and sweaty Colt sweetness!!!!! |

You could say that again! |

Hmmm......I think those in black might look great on my new Springfield Black Stainless.
|

I like these grips alot. The full-coverage "checkered" pattern looks very cool, like an updated version of the plastic M1911A1 grips with modern materials. Great design!
|
|
Awesome.
Please keep us posted as to when they will be available. I'm going to need at least 3 sets |
|
Looks great! I'm interested in the Desert Tan Diamondbacks without the aggressive pattern.
How much of a difference is felt on the non-aggressive pattern grips and the aggressive pattern grips when compared to the original wood grips on a Loaded SA Govt? Please do let us know when these will be available. Thanks. |

Oh boy and here I am thinking my new Kimber TLE/RL is just fine the way it is!
|
|
Tzyck are the grip screw holes not countersunk? I ask because it seems like the screws jut out from the grip?! Thanks. ETA: I guess they are from the other pictures, but not deep enough perhaps? |

They are. On the Gators, depending on what kind of screws you use, they seem to stick up a hair due to the texture / flute that runs down the center of the grip. Some of the button heads will protrude a little higher than the grip (Springfield) but they do not interfear with your comfort. You can also use slim bushings to bring the screws down a hair. I run slim bushings on all my 1911's. In some cases I run slim screws as well on standard grips. Keep in mind that you can run slim bushings on ALL grips. In some cases you can run slim bushings and slim screws. On slim grips, you can only run slim bushings and screws. I also change grips daily for pictures and fitting issues, I may not tighten my screws all the way in some of my pics which may be deceiving. Sorry! |

I'm local. Anyway I can lay hands on these to see how I like them on my Springer?
|
|
I just put some washed black canvas ones on my SA BI Tone and man they look sweet. The wood never realy looked correct on it but these make the pistol and they give me better grip in my opinion.
|
|
Sure, Give me a call. I can meet you at one of the gun shops here in town. |
|
|
Yeah, any plans to run slimline? |
|

Damn you Tzyck, I just purchased a pair of your "Operator" style grips last week and now you are forcing me to buy these Diamond Backs. They look so sweeeeet I can't pass them up.

I put a pair of VZ green/black linen micarta grips on my SA Champion and they look great. As a matter of fact, the first thing people ask when I show them the gun is "Where did you get those grips?" I am convinced VZ is the only way to go.
A pair of those new VZ Diamondback grips in black will go nicely on a SS 1911 I have. |
|
SPTiger,
Are the VZ Green/Black grips you have the VZ320's? I put a pair of Green/Black Linen Micarta VZ320's on my Green/Black lightweight loaded SA Champion for CCW use. I love them so much I went out an got a pair of Green/Black VZ Gators for my Kimber Ultra CDP and a pair of black Paper Micarta VZ "Operator" grips for my SA Black/Stainless 5". MadDog |

Well, my new grips just arrived. First impressions are really favorable. I prefer a more aggressive traction on my grips, and these fit the bill. I definately wouldn't want to carry these next to bare skin, as I'm sure it would abrade. Thankfully, I always wear and undershirt.
