Custom grips...?

[error4o4]

Looking into pistol grips for a 1911 as a gift. The shooter has grips with finger grooves, but doesn't care for them. Anywhere I can find custom grips to match their hand specifically? I realize they will be more expensive and the process will be more involved than buying off-the-shelf grips, but I think it would be well worth it. Any suggestions?

www.herrett-stocks.com will match to a tracing of hand size.

Good Luck...

Also look at Esmerelda's grips.

Esmerelda's are super sweet.

I prefer mine.

We have a member here that makes custom grips for the 1911. If you do a search, you'll see that his customers are very pleased with his work.

www.gungrips.net sells quite an assortment of grips. I have two sets of Alumagrips from them and had them specislly engraved. He is quick, good and reasonable.

"...as a gift...finger grooves, but doesn't care for them..." That usually means the grooves are too big or too small. Letting them pick what they want and paying for it would be best.
Custom grips need to fit the shooter's hand just like factory. There are imitation ivory(real walrus and mastodon ivory is available too. Money has to be no object) grips available. Along with all kinds of woods.
