1911s

Love those grips! Who they by?

Those grips were part of this years valentine's day package. Lots of beautiful work here http://www.esmeralda.cc/ .

Looking good Mac, the contrast looks nice. Also don't see too many colored 1911's.

NICE guns! Nice pics too. Here is one of my 1911's, a 5" full size Wilson Classic in .45 ACP with S&A magwell and grips by Esmeralda. What do I like about it? What's not to like about it? I think it's beautiful and it shoots the center out of targets.

Good shooting and be safe.

Ooo... nice.

Would you suggest the front checkering texture to someone that didn't have it? I've heard from Wilson, and some others, that it was easy to live without it.

Checkering is all up to he shooter. You can do without, and use some 3M grip tape instead. I do, it works well, andcomes off clean.

Thought they were from her. She makes some of the prettiest grips I've seen.

Everyone has an opinion and opinions vary. For me, the front strap checkering is REQUIRED. I learned in competition shooting that most of the grip on a 1911 should be applied to the front strap and rear strap. That checkering really helps keep my grip stabilized and a consistent grip is the first fundamental in accurate pistol shooting. Then comes sight alignment and trigger control.

Good shooting and be safe.

I love my US&S 1911a1s. Dont know why, but they appeal to me.

No pics though, they're in museum glass vault.

Nice Wilson LHB1! That's one of the best looking ones I've ever seen and the grips are a nice touch. Man Esmeralda makes some nice grips, not to mention she is hot!

Nice Kimber S0758.

Couple of my favorites...Rock GI and STI Ranger II...both with Esmerelda's smooth grips...

Please forgive the gaudy cellphone pic.

Here's my 5" Springfield lightweight. I've tweaked it a bit by doing a trigger job, replacing all the springs, Wilson fitted barrel bushing and 25lpi mainspring housing with lanyard loop, Yost/Bonitz rear and XS front sights, some 3m Safety walk tape and Larry Davidson grips. She's easy to carry, 100% reliable and pretty accurate.

Thanks. Funny story about that target. I was at a public range and stopped after 3 shots. The guy in the lane next to me, a total stranger, says to me; you cannot stop-you have to put two more shots in there.
So I did.
