I have had those on my 1911 for about 10 years, with about 5 years of every day carry, and they are still going strong. I've tried many a different grip, and I keep putting those back on, me likey

Good choice on the Sproingfield GI, good out of the box shooter with no frills

Yeah, they are the "ugly"(to hear most 1911 enthusiasts tell it) wrap around grips. I like them alot on the gun. These look like the have been lightly used.

I went back to the gun shop and he is holding the gun for me and got it out of the box again. It is definatly what I want to start my build on.

Ugly my ass, I love 'em

Hmm, Those aren't the ones that the gun has. I was wrong. Let me find a set that matches.

I think I found the error of my ways. I think the grips are actually the Hogue grips. I apologize for my error.

The Hogue grips ain't bad, they just wear out quicker, especially if you get Hoppes #9 or Break Free on them when you clean the gub. They get kinda tacky/sticky after a while.

[lunyou]

Well a set of Crimson trace grips are in the near future plans for it, so I am not really worried about the grips.

Thats good to hear. I picked up a pro carry a while back and it has become my favorite piece. I worry about how long the frame will last though.

Well I don't know if I settled for the "best 1911" but I did settle for one that fits my needs, is the base for alot of custom 1911s, and was in my price range. I even got a free Wilson Combat magazine out of the deal(brand new). Here are a few pictures.

Oh yeah, Phrogg, they are Pachmeyr grips not Hogue.

I took this picture first but didn't post it b/c of the poor quality. But after noticing your picture again, I thought I needed to post it b/c they are strikingly simliary.
