My employees new business of making pistol grips is suddenly doing
very well. *Not only are they doing grips for the 1911 models but for
the Sig Hauer (spelling) guns that is much more complicated.


You gotta name for that company? *My 1911 needs new grips - might as
well give the business to somebody I sort-of have a liking for. *:)


If you don't like those, whatever they are, try Nill grips. My Sig X-5
came with them. Also bought a pair of black grips for "regular use."


Currently, they are committed to sell thru VZ Grips who sells all they
can make. I never could have imagined there was such a market for gun
grips, totally weird but I admit I know nothing about guns.
Their grips are made from various types of a material similar to the
G10 composite material. For those familar with it, you know how
strong the stuff is.. They have one they call "Gator Back" that is
seriously rough for slippery conditions.
I tried gold plating one but it was not worthwhile, only looked like
brass. I'd like to do gold plating into features on shotguns and
other guns with decorative scrolling etc. I dont know a damn thing
about guns and really dont care but clearly a lot of people do.
