Where can I find these 1911 grips? (pic included)

[Alex45ACP]

I'm looking for a new set of grips for my parkerized Springfield Armory GI and there are so many options it's mind-boggling.

I just want a nice, simple set of double diamond checkered grips, just like the ones on the blued Colt in this picture:



What is the best place to get grips like those?

 

[MICHAEL T]

brownells has a zillion grips for 1911 that style

Just a zillion? They quit carrying some?

Or if you want something fancier, extraordinarily well made and costly...

Worth every penny. The ones I've bought over the years were $50 to $100 IIRC.

I've been thinking about getting a set from this site

http://www.woodgrips.com

You can get the grips from there in rosewood or walnut and they have both standard and slimline grips, that can be ordered for normal or ambidextrious safety.

Go to www.cdnnsports.com

But notice they have a flat $9.95 handling and shipping fee, so you may want to do some more shopping.

I really like Ahrends grips - here's a picture of them on a Colt 1911 that I sold off.



I picked mine up through Top Gun Supply. I wanted a replica-look, and the great people at Top Gun worked with Ahrends to get the specific wood color I was looking for. The grips themselves have a nice feel, and are slightly thicker than you might be used to.

yost-bonitz sells some really nice double diamond grips

+1 on the Ahrends...not the cheapest, but not ridiculously priced either. I think in terms of quality/price ratio they're one of the best!

I bought the basic double-diamond checkered cocobolo grips for my G.I. from www.woodgrips.com. Very well made, look and feel great, and fit the pistol like a glove. Good service, quick delivery, and inexpensive, as well. Be sure to get a hollow ground screwdriver of the appropriate size for installation, however. I got this one from www.brownells.com, a useful thing to have.

Thanks guys. I have decided to go with the Chip McCormick grips that Brownell carries. They are 40% slimmer and can be used with an ambidextrous safety, which will be handy if I decide to conceal carry the gun or if for some reason I decide to put an ambidextrous safety on it.

I hope you like the thinner grips. I never could warm up to them.
