Thanks for the comments everyone. A lot more likable comments than last time.
Believe me. This one is not for carry. Fun time at the range is all. The grips came from ebay. I feel the guy did a fantastic job on them. If I run into other grips I like I will probably get them also. Not your normal run of the mill 1911 for sure but hey. I am enjoying it a lot. I have not shot it since I put the grips on but it doesn't feel like anything will change.

I found those grips on Ebay - The vendor makes some pretty cool looking grips and the price isn't too out there either.

Dude, you are livin' life right!!! These gunboards tend to be too serious much of the time, but that piece is a kick ass work of art. As they used to say, "get on with yo bad self!"

Sorry for the veer, but all I can picture is a Doberman in a clown suit chasing down some guy who is both screaming and insanely giggling....

It's yours. You like it. That's all that matters. Enjoy it. I think it's very unique.

I actually really like the gun, more appealing to me than plain old camo, but I'd much prefer wood grips.

I like the paint job, in fact I need to go back and read your original post about it, don't know how I missed it. The grips, though, I don't like so much, I might have gone with stag or bone if it was mine.
ETA: I just read through the other thread, I prefer the look with the black grips you had on it before. The metal ones are cool for presentation but look uncomforatable and slippery for shooting.

I like it. Its a fun gun.
You need to get the rest of the accent pieces polished SS to match. Slide stop, safety, beavertail, and the mag release. Side note... are those grips even comfy?

Very effective look. It makes me sick to my stomach (that's a compliment). It calls up the whole zombie thing. Believe me, you've hit a grand slam. Ugh!

dajowi and others. There are zonbie faces within the green areas all over the gun. I think I also saw at least one bio hazard symbol.
Here is a close up of one area of the pistol. You should be able to make out 3 faces in it.

I do appreciate the comments on the gun and the grips. I do know the grips aren't for everybody. And it is clear that not all like the Zombie motif. That is good. Be a real boring gun world if that weren't so.
I haven't shot it with these grips and I also hope they don't tend to be slippery. I would have preferred that the grips were a bit more darkly burnished. But I didn't like the really lime green ones that are available. The great thing about grips is one can change them when ever one wants. Lol

It would be cool to have some bone grips too. Cool motif.

In all seriousness, I think I'm with you, and a darker grip would look better. It does match your trigger and barrel, so it doesn't look too bad, but, to me, it does seem a little incongruous. Just my .02. If it does end up being tough to grip, I would suggest the VZ grip line. I have a set on my CZ-75, and they are great! Plenty of variety in designs. I can't get to it from my work computer, but I bet they would have a set that would compliment your zombie look. |
