My 1911 grip cracked!

[phatcyclist]

I was testing some Speer gold dots in my Springer GI yesterday, and on the last round, as the slide locked back, I felt something poking me in the hand. I looked at the gun, and realized my grip on the left side had cracked! Not happy, I really liked those grips.

I've got the original wood grips on there now.

What kind of grips were they?I had a thin set break on me.

They are Ajax brand.

That explains it.I do not get ajax products anymore.the grips lokk good but they fall apart.

I think the next set of grips I'll be getting are the standard grips from Hogue made from black rubber. I bought the cheap Ajax ones because I wanted something more weather resistant than the wood, and I liked the way they looked.

I had Ajax grips on my Vaqueros and they lasted about 2 months, cracked in half! Junk
