1911 Show-N-Tell

I tried these grips on a chrome pistol but didn't like the look. Swapped them to a blued gun and think it looks great. Thoughts on this combination?

I believe that they would look better on my 1911

Calm down there fella, these are mine. You have to have your own set made!

I forgot to ask. Anyone have a good recommendation for a concealed carry holster? I would like an Inside the Pants holster that simply clips on the belt. But, most don't have a thumbreak, which I want. Recommendations? Better ideas? Thanks in advance.

 

[melensdad]

With an IWB you don't need a thumbreak. Take a look at Com-Tac and Crossbreed. Both are very comfortable.

 

[Bubbajms]

Some police departments require a thumbrake - don't know if that's the issue or not, but I'm just saying..

Anyhow, you probably won't find an IWB holster with a break, because the retention is supposed to be due to concealment. A good holster should retain the handgun without a break at all - I've run full-on, as hard as I can, into a pool and swam with my Glock in an open-top holster, and it stayed in place with no issue whatsoever..

Is your's an NM serial number? Here is mine with a CZ-52. Mine was made in 83. I had to replace my thumb safety and the only one that work as a drop in was an extended thumb safety. Other than that, it is stock.

 

[munky_3434]

yes sir, a NM. my dad purchased it back in the 90's and had it lightly mod'ed for military pistol competition. right after he had it all done they made everyone shoot the beretta 92's then he won the combat pistol course without it. irionic.

I have that exact model and love it. It makes a great carry gun.

Kytac Braveheart - between the design of the holster itself and your belt/pants providing added tension a thumb break isn't added or needed

 

[slow1911s]

Well, everything about this is 1911 except the grip...

 

[munky_3434]

more please..........

 

[melensdad]

This one has been sitting in the safe for quite a while. Its a fairly early example, uses the 2 piece brazed barrel of the early Combat Masters. The unusual thing about this gun is it is fully factory polished. Not a lot of the full polished guns were made.

My Colt 1991A1...also the first pistol I ever owned:

Haven't had a chance to take a pic of my newest .45 yet. I bought a Rock Island compact at the 1500 Friday.
