Re: 1911 grips
Definitely go with Larry Davidson's Monkey Grips. The VZs are alright, but Larry can make you almost any texture you can imagine. Once you have a ball park idea, give him a call and he will talk as long as you have questions. Genuinely nice guy. Here is a Link to a thread on 1911 forums with tons of pictures. Below is a picture of a custom set on my Loaded.

Re: 1911 grips
I'm partial to Larry Davidson's horned lizard grips in black G10
I also like the Mil-Tac G10 grips in black/gray, which seem very similar to Davidson's grips:

Re: 1911 grips
Larry Davidson would be my choice....followed by Mil-tac and VZ. Larry is a great guy to deal with, I have several sets from him.

He only sells them direct. If you look at the link posted in my first reply (the 1911 forum link) you can get a decent feel for all the styles he typically does. However, he can do custom work if you want a combination or something totally different. His phone number is 830-214-5144. Give him a call and he will set you up with whatever you want based on looks, aggressiveness of grip, color, whatever...His website lists the most commonly sold variants. It is not technologically advanced but, I would rather he stuck to making grips than worrying about a website

Re: 1911 grips
+1 on Davidson AND VZ
These are by far my preferred gripmakers now. I alternate between the two and have for a few years. Customer service is great with either and the products are EXCELLENT.

Re: 1911 grips
I use the VZ operator G10 grips on my service 1911 now. It has the pointed diamonds on the front that helps with retention and has single ridges in the back for a smoother surface that doesn't grate your hand when obtaining a grip from the holster.

Re: 1911 grips
I love these grips from 10-8.
They have a "scoop" cut out on the mag catch side and I believe that's even what the grip is called.

Gunner Grips by Simonich or Strider...IMHO, there are none better.

Re: 1911 grips
Just so everyone is aware. The reason Mil-Tacs and Larry Davidson's look so much alike is because Larry makes them for Mil-Tac.

Re: 1911 grips
Simonich gunner grips or the Mil-Tac have both been great performers and at reasonable prices.

Re: 1911 grips
As stated above Larry Davidson makes some nice grips. I've bought 3 sets of grips from him and I'll get more in the future.
Here's a set that he made for my Delta Elite...
Here are some Warthogs in Desert Tan on my Les Baer...
And he also made some grips for my Ruger 22/45. You can't go wrong with LD.

Having just had the pleasure to hold a STI Escort .45 with her grips I must say me likee!
The artwork is killer and the grips feel nice, even with sweaty palms
Besides, who can resist this:
