Ok, heres the deal. I bought my first quality sidearm in a Sig 1911 compact. I want to customize it a bit. Can I buy any 1911 grip or do they have to say compact?
Check out vz grips if you want non-wood grips. I run the frags on 2 of my 1911s and the carbon fiber grips on my carry 1911. They have great options in terms of ambi cut safety, thickness, color, texture, etc.
Have a set of Harrison design grips on my Sig Ultra and soon to have a set of Larry Davidson 4x4 on my compact. Just have to order them for the size grip that you have.
