Colt Combat Commander: Which Set of Grips?

[doc540]

A. Matching the 1911 knife


B. Carbon Creations matching the Black T finish


I'm sure they'll both shoot well, and that's really all that counts.

Which do YOU prefer?

(note: "grips" is a common term used to mean "panels or stocks")

My vote goes to the first set!

That's a tough call, I like them both. The top set is classic but with the great make-over you did I think I'd have to go with the carbon.

PS: Is it to early to call dibs for when you sell this one?

[doc540]

I think this one is gonna be a keeper.

If for nothing else, it serves the fine purpose of giving Mojo something to grumble about.

[MoJo]

I think a set of ivory grips scrimshawed with pink flowers would be appropriate.

Here ya go!

I like the 1st picture.What brand is that knife?

[karder]

They both look great. I would pick choice A. The lighter color grip creates a greater contrast.

doc, I've got to go with the classic rosewood double diamond grips..... nice job on everything.

J Wilson, you can get info or buy one of these knives here: http://forum.m1911.org/html.php?file=M1911ORG_Knife.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I like both, but prefer the second set of grips considering the pistol will be concealed anyway. The gray looks classy, & will blend into the shadows better than the lighter, contrasting grips, IMO.

Thanks...actually the gun isn't being carried, just shot at the range.

In fact, it's a great motivator.

Every time Mojo sees it he's motivated to give the "If-John-Moses-Browning-had-intended-it-to.." speech!

Neat-O. Any idea why, if they guy is in Connecticut, it's cheaper to ship to Canada than to the USA?

The manuf. is in Canada, and Terry's a great guy to deal with directly.

Doc, If we didn't love ya we'd throw rocks at ya instead of teasing ya! BTW where were you Saturday? You missed a good match.

Seriously, I like both sets and think of 1911 grips like shirts they should be changed periodically. I have more sets of grips than guns and do swap them around from time to time.

Go with the wood it's classic!

[doc540]

Saturday? I was all set to shoot that match.

You know what they say about the road to hell...

I had a last-minute band gig at the Harley Davidson dealership and had to load-in at 10am.

But I made enough dough to buy 1,000 rounds of carbine ammo later that evening!

Hope to see you at the range soon!
