Poll: New Grips for my 1911

[VERT]

Ok guys and gals. I have decided that I need a slightly thinner set of grips for my 1911. I am going to stick with standard thickness but something that is just a bit thinner then the factory Altamont grips. I have decided on the VZ Gatorbacks because they are considered to be the thinnest of the standard sized grips. Plus I want something grippy but not abrasive to wear IWB. I am going to let INGO pick the color for my order since I can not decide for myself. Fun poll, winner is what I will order. I will then post an after picture. What say you INGO?


This is a picture of the gun as it sits right now. I really like the tiger stripe grips but why buy the same color? Then again they look cool.

Black Desert Sand

Dirty Olive

Tiger Stripe

I voted tiger stripe, but if it were mine, I'd leave it as is. I think it looks great now.

 

[JetGirl]

Duh.
A pair of each.

You're welcome.

Yep looks good and feels good. But Smith uses very thick grips. They don't fit my Smurf hands and my finger does not hit the trigger in the right spot. Same problem with the RoCo grips on my Pro Series.

I voted for the olive, I like OD myself and I think it would look great on your 2 tone.

Kind of leaning towards the green myself. But the poll will decide. But you have to admit the orange is cool

Tigger striped.

Because your poll contains no bacon option, I vote for these:

The Dirty Olive? Popeye's lady love doing porn now? Oh! Grips for the .45, very stylish yet effective looking handgun pictured. I think the Black Desert Sand pulls some of the color down from the slide to the frame giving the weapon an even more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Forgot the bacon option. Sorry I know poll is no longer valid. I don't think pink was an option for the gatorbacks.

I voted Tiger Striped. I'd double check to be sure that they are thinner before ordering a set that might end up duplicating what you have.

I emailed VZ. They gave me the dimensions. According to them this model is considered to be the thinnest as well. I then checked my current grips with a set of calipers.

Not quite the same, but a little visual reference.

 

[VERT]

Awesome! What color is that exactly? Did you replace the trigger with a short one?

Then it would be even thicker. Smurf hands remember.
