I like 1911’s – I really like the arched mainspring housing! That being said I started scouring for Hogue Magwell G10 piranha texture grips for my newest adoption – my baby needs new shoes!
Not knocking the grips that came with – but – I’m so accustomed to the magwell / arched mainspring housing set that you see on the left – I went ahead and changed them out.
The ones on the left are sorta gray / black – which would have been fine – the new ones were a very subdued gray and black – I took them out of the package and was like – these aren’t gray / black, they are pretty much black.
Having 1911 guts scattered about I went ahead and put it together with them . . .
With the rest of the black accents on the new one – I think they look pretty good – and
( at least to me ) it grips and points right – AND as an added bonus I really should go to the range and run another fifty rounds or so through it just to be sure – LOL!
I really like how the high points on the new grips have an almost flat dark earth color to them – really couldn’t ask for a better match!
Any excuse to go to the range works for me – just saying . . .
I also put a dab of white sight paint on the front sight just to make it “pop” . . .
I will let you folks know how it does at the range – I really don’t think any issues will come up . . .
If I get time in the next few days / week – maybe a little side by side red dot – in this case green reticle – platform comparison between (on the left) Arex Delta Gen2 and (on the right) a PSA Glock 19 competitor – both real nice europellet (9mm) platforms . . .
Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
