Speaking of grips, I put on a pair of "Handlers" from Sarge, at Elite. They were extraordinary, at about $100.00 for the fancy exotic, "i forgot the name" wood. The difference is they are larger than the standard size 1911 grips, they take up all of the space "even the frame, in the corner where it's angled" they are wider and larger, I never had a better looking and feeling pair of grips, I have pictures of them on the gun if you want to see, just pm me your email. I actually shot the gun better immediatlly with them on, here is a link I just grabbed for you.
