Thought about doing a magwell, but can't find an overlength mainspring pin. If you are really interested, send me a pm, and we'll discuss details.

On a side note, just finished the display boxes. It just doesn't seem right not to give them a comfortable home.

Those are great looking grips!

Too bad the mesquites here in west Texas don't have enough "Meat" on them to make grips! LOL

From one craftsman to the another. Great job sir!

I have home made mesquite grips on my 1911, one of my favorite pistols.

wow...

 

[TheDan]

Those are very nice... I like!

I think a set on my Springfield Ultra Compact would be great, are you making them for sale as well?

 

[ranchhand]

I sure could. I've done sets for birthday presents and wedding presents, might as well finally do some to make money. Send me a pm for details.

See now i need 3 sets for my rocks!!!!! I sweat a lot will they hold up for owb
Daily carry? Very nice work

Hey you live i. Kyle so do i even better

 

[ranchhand]

I haven't used them on a conceal carry only because my chl expired, and haven't gotten around to getting it again, but don't see why it would be a problem. It has a few coats of polyurethane on it, so its well protected, and its smooth but not slick so having a good grip isn't anything to worry about either.

Just had my buddy email me pics of the grips I made for his wedding present. Its not the best quality photo, but you get the idea.

I had a set done for my Springer 1911 V10, she was a pawn shop rescue and while she may not look like the bell of the ball, the grips were what she was missing, I pulled off the houge rubber wraparounds and installed the mesquite grips and I love the way she looks now. I really like the grips alot, just a tad bit of time with a file and bam! GTG. There were ranchhands first set of short grips and I believe he did an excellent job, I love the natural flow in the grips.

Damn. I never knew mesquite looked so good!

 

[Ghost Fish]

That work and craftsmanship is just truly phenomenal. You are definitely an artist, sir!

I also like that you went with those mini trunks...they look like they'll add just that extra bit of class.

Now I just need to purchase a gun that'll benefit from some of that mesquite.

 

[ranchhand]

Thanks. I never considered myself much of an artist, all it takes is patience and a slow hand.

smee78, thought those grips turned out good, but they look a lot better now that I see them on the gun itself.

 

[Clockwork]

That looks like a well-loved 1911.

The grips look fantastic.

I thought I remember the V10 model actually coming with the Hogue grip standard... I looked at them at Red's years ago...

 

[smee78]

It may have come standard (bought it used) but I nave never warmed up to rubber baby buggy bumper/goodyear grips. Its just me but I like the looks and feel of a good set of wood grips on my guns.
