Today was actually a nice day in the shop. I had time to sit down with my CNC and vCarve Desktop to work on some 1911 grips. I’ve been using my Remington R1 as my test fit piece. 

 

These were cut cut but I did t get them sanded and a finish put on them today. I guess I can work on that tomorrow afternoon. 

 

 

 

mahogany on the top, Purple Heart and Leopard wood on the right. 

 

These are all cut from G10 material.

 

 

Slate color G10 cut with a checking pattern

 

 

 

A nice fit on my 1911. 

 

 

Slate G10 Stripes with Mag release cut out. 

 

 

Red and Black G10 with Dots. I sanded this with micro sanding paper then buffed it on my 3 wheel buffer. Nice look. 

 

 

Each set gives the 1911 a total different look. 

 

I’ve got to get a few more cut tomorrow. It’s back to work at the Gun Store Monday. 

 

 

Looks great John !

Those are beautiful.  My favorite weapon to carry and use.

I too am a big fan of the 1911. I have a stainless Springfield RO target I use to shoot IDPA. I had a slide and trigger job done on it. You can rack it with one finger.
