I Almost Hated Doing This

[gandog56]

But I like CT laser grips so much. I went from this:

To this.

I mean I loved that wood. But laser grips make it so I can do this!

And besides that, the all black look isn't half bad just by itself. Gonna keep them wood grips though. Who knows if/when I get another 1911!

Nice pistol.

I like the wood grips look, but I understand your dilemma. Perhaps you could have the wood grips knurled?

Is that a 6" STI? Regardless she's a beaut.

You can get the same results with sight alignment and trigger control, and still have one classy looking pistol!

^^^ this, plus it's slower than using the sights

If you want to sell those wood grips, let me know.

STI? It's a Fusion Firearms long slide Traditional Hunter in 10mm. 6" slide, fiber optic pipe fully adjustable sights. Black Oxide finish.

Hence my statement I will keep the wood grips.....in case the gun bug hits me and I buy another 1911.

IMO, laser grips are good to figure out trigger control, but honestly, you should be able to make small groups by shooting. I'd also worry about them failing. Plus, the money spend on the grips could be used for more shooting practice.

Oh, they look ugly too. I'll pass.

Nice 1911 though.

Number 1: My tired old eyes do better focusing on a bright dot than try to focus on both the near sights and the far target. So I shoot better with a laser.
Number 2: If they fail I still have that nice fully adjustable set of fiber optic pipe sights on the pistol, I sight both the sights and the laser so I can use either. It's just easier with the laser. (As the pic in my first post shows.)

Nice gun, I like.

You may be the cause of your problem.

I had a laser sight on my Kimber. It showed me how bad my grip and aim was. It let me see how much I was allowing the pistol to jump around with each shot. it was a good tool to learn pistol control and techhnique.

Just go buy a Ruger 22/45 .22 that has the removable grip panels.
Install your wood 1911 grips.

For safekeeping, you understand.......

Sorry man, but I just love the look of rosewood (or any real wood) grips on a gun. The only time I would go synthetic is if it was a duty or hunting handgun, but that's a personal preference...

 

[Jmfox3]

Of course, you could go with the wooden CT laser grips.

THIS^^
They would look great on your gun, IMO.
Nice 1911 either way.
