Pistols are types of guns whose chambers are included in the barrel. These guns are tiny, lightweight, inexpensive and compact. The firing rates and fire volume of pistols are faster and higher as compared to other types of guns, such as the revolver. These gun types also have larger ammo capacity.
Pistols are also reloaded quickly and concealed easily. Pistols may be further characterized into single-shot pistols, multi-barreled pistols, semi-automatic pistols and machine pistols. One of the most famous models of pistols is the Colt 1911. The Colt 1911 in turn paved the way for the rise in popularity of the 1911 pistol grips.
Pistols grips, such as the 1911 pistol grips, are one of the basic components of pistols. Held by the hand, 1911 pistol grips usually operate the trigger. The 1911 pistol grips function as housings for the magazine, storage for the tool, bipods and sometimes as handles used for the charging of the weapon. Normally shaped to fit the hand, a pistol grip usually appears to have a black or brown coloration.
The original pistol maker, Colt 1911, produces a huge array of 1911 pistol grips. Some 1911 pistol grips styles include pad Colt 1911 Checkered Walnut Grips w/ Silver Medallion New Factory, Colt 1911 Coco Bolo Fancy Diamond Checkered Grips w/ Medallion and Colt 1911 Government Full-size Grips w/ Medallion Factory New.
Several companies offer a variety of premium 1911 pistol grips which perfectly match almost any type of Colt 1911 pistol. Among these manufacturing companies is Kimber. This New Jersey-based company is famous for its 1911-type pistols and rifles, such as the Kimber 17 and Kimber 22, which are known for being extremely accurate.
There are some 1911 pistol grips available that have hand-cut checkering and hand-finishing features. The gun brand Springfield Armory, for example, manufactures Cocobolo Checkered Grips for 1911 pistols. Springfield Armory, only shares the name, but is not actually connected, with the original Springfield Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts.
However, to ensure a perfect match between colt 1911 pistols and the corresponding 1911 pistol grips, a potential buyer is well-advised to contact companies such as Kimber or Springfield Armory.
Some companies also produce custom made 1911 pistol grips to satisfy the preferences of gun aficionados. There are many colors, textures, materials and designs to choose from. The type of materials used in creating custom pistol grips includes leather, wood and linen. Some designs for custom made pistol grips include camouflages, checkered, gators, walnuts and carbon patterns.
One of the most famous makers of custom made pistol grips is Indiana native Don Collins. Collins has dedicated his life into creating high-quality hand-made pistol grips for the last four decades. He specializes in making single action Colt 1911 pistol grips made from elephant ivory, fancy walnut, Australian lacewood, dymondwood, Westinghouse micarta and Dupont Corian. The works of Collins show excellent woodwork, fine polishing, superb carving and awesome designs. Most of the pistol grips from Collins features images including Native American Indians, cowboys and stallions.
Outstanding combat-style, custom made pistol grips are the specialties of former NYPD officer Jim Badger. The 1911 pistol grips and the other pistol grips made by Badger are known for their durability, exceptional appearance, awesome precision and splendid engraving. Badger's choice of material includes Dupont Corian, ivory, walnut, rosewood and synthetics. The specialties of Badger are his trademark custom inlaid grip designs created from various materials such as platinum, gold, silver, ivory and mother of pearl.
