New 1911 grips = cosmetic transformation!

[WarchildXX]

I was amazed to see how a simple swapping out of the stock redwood grips on my SA Long Slide with a set of gnarley Hogue Extreme tribal flame grips really changed the whole look of the weapon. The grips were inspired by my 15-year-old son... tribal flames wouldn't have necessarily been my first choice for grip swapout, but... the 15-year-old kid (in me!) is starting to admit they do look pretty cool!

I know tribal flames is not everyone's cup of tea, but the billet aluminum feels great in your hand, and they are also a pinch thinner than the stock wood grips. My girlfriend and 12-year-old daughter both claim they have a better hold on the weapon when they are at the range with me.

Very nice!! I can't wait recover from the cost of buying my 1911 so that I can order some cool new grips for it.

Hell that longslide is cool enough!!...the wood grips get the most love from me but its always fun to mix things up every once in a while.

These are nice. I had a set built custom about 2 years ago.

you should check the limber tle 2 grips they aren't fancy but they are tacky almost which gives me an amazing grip on the gun

Both look nice but the black look the best to me on stainless

I like the OEM better myself... Thats quite the gun you have there either way.

It looks good, I'd say it's an improvement.
