New Grips

[Tex929rr]

Ravenwood grips came in for my Para Slim Hawg. The package sat at the PO for the week of the freeze. These were sort of a one off as Jason had only done one set for a Slim Hawg LDA, so I could order the wood and finish as I liked. Really happy with these. The Para “Black Watch” finish is really good looking but easily scratched.

Beautiful gun. Didn't know para made a SLIM hog.
That doesn't look like the LDA trigger. Am I missing something?

Way back in the old days they made a Slim Hawg with a traditional 1911 action.

Almost 30 years ago I shot a friend’s Para P12 and loved it. 3 1/2 barrel, compact double stack. I found a P12 LDA at a gun show and immediately purchased it. This was during the large cap mag ban; it came with a voucher to buy two 12 round factory mags. That was the beginning of my love for 1911’s. I can’t remember exactly when I purchased the Slim Hawg but it’s so small I have carried it a lot. Ravenwood had only made one other set of grips for a Slim Hawg and it was an LDA.

There is nothing wrong with the LDA action but once you get used to carrying cocked and locked there is no need for it (at least that was my experience).

I had a P14 LTD years ago. Sold it and have regretted it ever since.

I like those grips, just don't own a 1911 any more. Might have to save up and find one just for an excuse to buy the the grips.

He shows grips for a lot of different handguns on his site: https://www.ravenwoodgrips.com/

I’d put a set on my P01 if I could.

I looked them up and there were lots that caught my attention, but at this time I don't own any models of pistols they make grips for.

Nice combination, I had a 14-40 LDA as an "on-duty" pistol for a few years until we convinced the dept. to allow 1911 carry. It was a really sweet shooting pistol, and very accurate.

Good looking combo
