1911 grips

[wind953]

I am looking for one of those double-diamond checkered real rosewood grips for my WA LAPD SWAT Custom II, like the R/S version shown here http://www.kimberamerica.com/product...stom/royal_II/

Does anyone know where I can get one of these and if it would fit or not? (R/S or not)


Thanks!

ILLusion would be the man to talk to.

you can find rosewood double
diamond 1911 grips on eBay
any day of the week.

Those are generic 1911 grips,
nothing Kimber specific about
them. But I'm sure Kimber
sells them as well. Most big
sites selling airsoft like UNC
also sell an array of grips.

Go on Canadian Gun Nutz
forum, you'll find them in the
parts for sale area.

Gotta be the easiest grips to
find.. didn't I see you already
ask this question in another
thread?

Edit: Yes most of the time
RS grips will fit TM's and WA's
in stock form.

Thanks aznpos I will pm Illusion, and yes safx I have made a thread about the exact topic recently, but for some reason I can't find that thread anymore.

Are these grips all supposed to be the same size? I mean there might be small size and shape differences according to which will fit my gun and which won't. But I've seen some grips labeled as "slim" version, so I'm not sure what that means.

I checked most of the big airsoft sites, but unfortunately none of them have the rosewood double-diamond checkered ones I'm looking for. CGN has locks on their threads.

I found one on sale here http://www.eaglegrips.com/guns/Rosew...kered-224.html, but I'm still unsure if that will fit. And for some reason the grips in that picture look smaller than usual...might be just the picture.

Safx I remember you saying you have a fair collection of WA GBBs. Did you ever order one of these grips yourself?


Thanks for the help, guys.

Tisk tisk, seems one of us is going
to have to hand-hold you, or else
we'll be drowning in your repeat
threads in no time!

There are a bazillion 1911's out
there, and some are slightly off
spec from a Colt 1911 frame. For
the most part Kimber and Colt
grips are interchageable. Slim
grips are thinner, so they don't
bulge out as much, also no room
to dig a space for a grip weight.

All my stock WA could use RS
wood grips, since WA's are copies
of exact models. So what's made
for a real Kimber will fit your toy
Kimber. Metal kits are another
issue though..

The ones in your link should work.
Just avoid Officer style, they are
for compact frames.

Just a quick search on ebay—

Thanks for the input safx! I will be more careful about repeating topics in the future hehe...I just thought maybe it was deleted by a mod because I placed it in the wrong section or something.

I've seen most of these ebay items floating around while looking for those grips, but I think I mentioned in my other (oops) thread, that I've had horror experiences with ebay and so try to stay away from them lol...

I think I will give that discounted item a try.

Thanks for all your inputs guys!
