#1911Grips

The legendary 1911 pistol has been a staple of the American gun culture for over 100 years after its initial introduction. Despite numerous advancements in firearms operation, materials, and ammunition technology, the venerated 1911 still remains a favorite of many firearms enthusiasts. However, the 1911 pistol in its original form is far from perfect. One notable deficiency of the original design for me is the lackluster grip texture you get from stock 1911s. Talon Grips has just come out with a new modular grip system for the 1911 platform that allows adapting the grip of each side of your 1911 without having to shell out thousands of dollars for a custom 1911 or 2011 pistol. Today I’ll be reviewing a complete set of Talon Modular grips that were sent over to me for testing and review and I’ll share my thoughts on Talon’s new grip system.

Pachmayr has announced that a new series of 1911 grips made of a material called Raffir Alume is now available for preorder. Raffir is the name of the company who makes the Alume material. It is basically an epoxy with aluminum mesh embedded into it.

Ed Brown has added a new 1911 grip pattern to their line of grips. News about new 1911 grips doesn’t seem to be something significant enough to write an article about, but the new Ed Brow Labyrinth series of grips look so beautiful that I thought I should share it with our readers.
