A sample to illustrate why visiting the first message in the thread has value.

You're right! It is certainly worthwhile to hit that "<< First" button. In fact, spending about an hour viewing the entire thread is well worth it!

Here is the latest by Bawanna, a beautiful set for an MK9.

Those look oddly familiar...

Tell me a success story with evidence photo's.

[OldLincoln]

Yup, YOU are a success story and this thread is only a small part of the evidence.

[Bawanna]

Actually I think I sent those to qwikduc and they didn't fit but he thought he could make them work. I think. It was a long time ago.

Bawanna,

They fit fine. I had to square the reliefs for the screw tab portions of the frame on the back of the grips and shorten my 1911 Allen screws to keep them from binding the mags but other than that, perfect.

I was thinking the other day that I would trace the frame (both sides) on acetate as well as send you my original grips. This should show you what you have to modify for the newer model numbered MK's.

They always get compliments!

I was also thinking that I might politely request some G10 grips if you feel so inclined in the future...

Very Nice, I thought you (Bawanna) were not doing the MK9 grips for some reason. I must be mistaken ... and more importantly, I must contact you about getting some!

Actually these are the last ones I made and they are the reason that I haven't made any since. These I think were a year ago.

I really want to send out a finished product that fits and doesn't require any modification to work. Hopefully I'll figure it out one of these days.

Bawanna,

I haven't got around to making the tracing/template but perhaps this weekend as well as measurements.

OAN, I am purchasing a RIA Commander length 45 that I can use to "smith" some custom features and would welcome the opportunity to discuss some 1911 grip options. I'll send more info your way soon.

Talk to you soon.

Revolvers are challenging and finger grooves even more so but I've done a few. What other grip might fit that? A 629 wouldn't fit would it? Can't think of anyone I know that has a 329PD. I'll have to research.

What about just the inserts for a Ruger SP101 or a GP100?

Course I would then prolly have to do something for the Ruger Old Army or it'll get jealous and not shoot straight... at Least I could ship the Old Army to ya.

Dern the MKII would just get jealous and start that FTE mess too.

Did ya ever get the K9 issue worked out or am I just confuseded?

Seriously quote me a price on inserts for the SP101 sir. Cocobolo and checkereded.. Do I need to order the grip ferrules and ship you my inserts to work off?

It is a N frame, I understand X frame grips also fit.
