Here’s my favorite. Forged carbon with 24k gold powder mixed in.

u/Jhawk29 avatar

Insane, I love it

u/Jeremyvmd09 avatar

Imo it’s the epitome of a “bbq gun” just over the top. Built it as a homage to my mom who passed away a few years ago. Serial number is her initials and birthday. It’s actually a great shooter too.

what the fuck is the base? a cabot? or full custom. really nice dude

u/Jeremyvmd09 avatar

Wow never thought one of my guns would be mistaken for a Cabot lol (I can see everything I could have done better lol). I actually built it from the ground up. Started with a Caspian officer frame cut to take a Caspian commander slide in Damascus. It’s a full on build with just the right (in my opinion) parts to build the ultimate “flashy” 1911. I wanted it to be over the top as it was built in memory of my mom who passed way a few years ago. She was big into jewelry (worked for a jeweler for a while) and loved Damascus stuff so gold and Damascus slide seemed appropriate.

u/-shiberrino- avatar

that’s such a nice tribute to your mom, i love the story and firearm.

I mean if you buy one with a rail I say go crazy. You are already coloring outside the lines.

u/Cursed_Candlelight avatar

It's a nice gun I'll give you that. But the engravings give you no tactical advantage whatsoever.

u/SwimmerSea4662 avatar

Who said that I know that’s a quote from somewhere.

One of the fun things about owning a 1911

Like those grips.

u/HareTr1gger avatar

BANGIN !!!

Very nice… not my style… but I definitely respect the look

u/Jhawk29 avatar

Appreciate the comment brother!

But I do like the overall look of your 1911… mine is stainless steel so looking at yours has given me some ideas about what I can do with mine…

u/Jhawk29 avatar

Do it!!

Why can’t you post then?

Love these grips too - I think your reason is as authentic as any

u/jim2527 avatar

I like it… just enough but not too much!!

u/Dilbertdip avatar

You won…!

Not my speed but that’s fun as hell. Wanted exotic grips, got em. That’s a A+ in my book. Enjoy it!

u/Jhawk29 avatar

Thank you, sir!

Mine is a little more subdued. I wanted to have some grip texture to hang on to.

u/Jhawk29 avatar

Elegant af my man

u/Old-guy64 avatar

Thank you. My youngest son is an armorer. I gave him several options of grips that I’d like. He chose these. It’s a very functional BBQ gun.

Good ol ebay grips

Calm down Quinton Tarantino lol

You bought a gun just so you can change out the grips. Wow! In a perfect world the only person that sees your grips would be you. If you like em, I think you're good.

“One reason…”

I have plenty of other reasons, some of more importance.

You don’t ever go to a range? Shoot a competition?

You can buy "o" rings for the grip screws. Tighten the slots to the same attitude, i.e., horizontal. Looks wicked on Demon grips.

u/Adventurous_Pen_Is69 avatar

Bro that looks cool. Who makes the grip?!

u/Jhawk29 avatar

Thanks dude! Clickatme on eBay. They have some really sexy ones.

Nice. But there are definitely other guys in the cartel with flashier grips.

Where the fucking goddamn hell did you get those grips? I need those

u/Jhawk29 avatar

Bro ngl I got them from eBay. There are so many nice ones.

Some people have taste. Some do not

u/Jhawk29 avatar

I agree. It’s all objective. I have different guns set up for different things, different styles. Personally, I think 1911s with oversized O lights and thick red dot sights instead of the iron sights are pretty cringe, but I’m sure some would say the same about grips like these.

Like mine lol
