Thanks Stinger, got my VZ grips today, NICE upgrade. big-grin Smooth polished American Walnut. I think the dark wood looks good w/SS, got my C Mc 8rd mag too, I know what the butt plates are for, but don't like the look. Would y'all leave them off or not ??

You are very welcome.  I've got beautiful vintage pre-ban Ivory and lots of exotic hardwood slabs for presentation, but for everyday shooting, all my 1911's wear VZ !

The rubber buttplate extensions are for cushioning the blow when dropping them on the ground during comps, so you don't damage the magazine.  I don't use them for carry or at the range.

Here's my Les Baer stainless longslide ... I know the scratches aren't for everybody, but I like a little factory hand-laid artwork of a master engraver every now and then

I bought these 'VZ Grips' Slant Zebra G10's for shooting, thinking I will preserve the Ivories in their pristine glory for display.

I like the look of ivory esp.on blue.

But being a mechanic, me and white don't get along well. I'm lucky to wear a white shirt twice, with out working, before I screw it up !!big-grin
