VZ Operator II grips on 1911

Dux-R-Us · Mar 10, 2012

Thanks to everyone for their input on 1911 grips. I choose VZ Operator II in Black Cherry.

I got the slim cut so now my 1911 better fits my little Polish hands, and I can more easily reach the mag release. I put some rubber tape on too.

Now my pistol fits my hands really well and feels like it is velcroed to them! I am not going to loose my grip now. These updates should improve my shooting.

Cheers

Kevin

Looks great. I'd like to make some knife handles with that pattern.

Look good. Why do you have green slime in your magwell?

He pistol whipped Slimer with it.

Where did you order your VZ grips from?

You can order them from somewhere other than VZ?

I thought I saw them on Brownells.

Some guys paint a marker inside the magwell to draw their attention during mag changes. If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that this practice is no longer legal for USPSA in the non-open divisions.

I was painting my nails and handled the piece before they were dry.

not really. I painted as Wall stated above; to facilitate mag loading. I will look at the rules for single stack USPSA. I might not need the attention grabbing paint now that I am soooooo experienced.

And I ordered directly from VZ.

I could be wrong about it no longer being legal, I just remember reading it somewhere

Legal for SS (since they allow magwells anyway)

NOT legal for Production Division.

thanks you saved us all from having to wade through pages of dull rules.
BTW, my wife picked out that color of nail polish for me, i.e. I mean for my pistol.
