Custom 1911 Grips

Recommended Posts

Decided to try my hand at making grips for my WE 1911a1.

The material is Kato brand polymer clay. I blended black and white to get this effect, though I went a little too far and ended up with more gray than I wanted. The grips seem just as strong as the stock plastic grips.

Looks good. I made some from 3/8" aluminum flat stock. But not as nice looking as yours. If I can fid a pic, I'll post it up in this thread.

Post them up, always good to see other work.  Aluminum would certainly be tougher to work with, but would make a nice piece.  3/8" is awful thick though.  My stock grips were just under 1/4", so that's what I stuck with.  I almost want to thin the new ones out just a bit.   

Also, here's a side by side of both sides I meant to post earlier.
