It might be worth it to get one of the aluminum-grip guns (2013+ production) in hand and see what you think. I've never actually held a wood-grip one, but from what I've read, the later version feels noticeably trimmer. The later model also feeds hollow points and other non-round-nose bullets better due to a revised feed ramp.Wood.
Me too -- I have three 1911s, but two of them are 9mm and the one used to be a .45 has a .22 conversion kit on it more or less permanently. I just got the 21, and I'm loving it.A Glock 21 without a doubt.
I think that might stem from the grip size. I have medium sized hands and the 1911 feels great where the CZ is just a little to fat to suit me and is the reason why I don't own one. I just handled a couple at our last gunshow in an effort to change my mind but it didn't happen.
I have probably owned 6 or 7 of them over the years. I have two now-one converted to 460 Rowland and one is a 21C that I use as a suppressor host. I'd actually like another one so the 21C could just be a 21C. I have a 30 as well but I really like the full size .45 acp pistol better. I also have a 20 and a 29 in 10mm and, again, I really prefer that full size 10mm over the compact model.Me too -- I have three 1911s, but two of them are 9mm and the one used to be a .45 has a .22 conversion kit on it more or less permanently.

I changed out my grips, too.My 97B came with the wood grips and I found it to be just a bit too fat as well. Got a set of Lok grips and it made a world of difference
I have a SAR K2 45c as well as the FNX 45 I mentioned above. The only 2 45acp's I own. I bought the SAR instead of a CZ 97. Less expensive, more capacity, better ergos (for me). 100% reliable and it shoots semi-wadcutters.I guess it would be my S&W 625, or maybe my SAR K2 45, or my EAA Witness 45. I don't own, and never will own, a 1911.

That photo is very telling for anyone who has held a 97 with one or the other of the grip types. That's a lot of difference there. Based upon looks, I'd say the aluminum grips are even a bit thinner than the Lok grips.My 97B came with the wood grips and I found it to be just a bit too fat as well.

There are only 2 good cars on that list. The rear engine gas powered ones.That’s like considering keeping the old VW bug when you also got a Cadillac, a Tesla, and Tucker Torpedo in the same garage, just crazy.
