I grew tired of the old thick factory wrap around on my Colt series 80 so i put on something different.

I am sitting in my angry chair!
Very cool. I'm trying to figure out what to put on my newly gun-koted taurus 1911 (od green frame, rest is black). Thinking I should stay with black...hogues are always a possibility, but found this place: www.gripwerx.com, and they have some nice looking grips.
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them. ... Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever."--Thomas Jefferson
Very Nice.... for other grips, check out this site:

I bought some white Andean Alder grips for my S&W J frame... spectacular!
And they're VERY affordable for about $100 bucks:
Smooth, Checkered, half-checked... full size, compact, bob-tailed... she also has grips for Beretta's, S&W, Browning and Ruger...

Pure class on a 1911. They'd just make my GI's look like pigs with ruby slippers. (But I love 'em).
Mine both have Hogue finger grooves on them because I can't get enough of those sweet handling grips..
Here's 3 of mine:
My tribute to Betty Page.
These have a sandpapery feel to them so they make for a no-slip grip.
I just liked the looks of these.
I really like the last set in your picture. Very nice!
If you don't like the way I do things you can tell me, just don't expect me to change.
www.thefinergrain.com if you want the finest wood grips on the market.
Ryan does absolutely amazing work.
I have a pair of the celtic checkered with the celtic cross on my 1911 from Esmeralda.
Great set of grips.

I have these on my CQB. I love how secure the pistol feels in my hand. That and the front strap checkering feel like the pistol is part of my hand.
Check out VZ Grips, www.vzgrips.com, I have them on two of my 1911's.
Here's a couple pics...please ignore the bastard step-child in the first photo
