Just ordered a set of grips

pfalz2 · 02-06-2013, 02:02 PM

for my Rock Island 1911. Ordered SLIM Heritage Brown Dymondwood from
http://www.raascogrips.com/fd07s.html with half checkering.
I have small hands ,so,I think the thin grips will better for me. With the standard grips reaching the mag release is little awkward for me when shooting single hand.

Everyone is different. My biggest complaint about the 1911 is that the grip is too small. In that respect, the Beretta M9 is much more comfortable in my hands.

Well the slimline grips brings the width of the 1911 grip to about the same width as the
grip on my Bersa Thunder 380 and is only slightly thicker then the grip on my 380CC.
so now all three are constant as to feel and the reach to the magazine release.

Ove course both Bersa would disappear in your hands

Those are really nice looking grips pfalz2

I have big hands an prefer larger grips but we have to fit our tools for the individual that's using them.
