Conceal 1911?

Too bulky for me. As I get older, the shield is more manageable

A few years ago, I bought (on an impuluse) a Colt Concealed Carry Government Model. Never carried it but it does have some super thin rosewood grips on it making it thinner than my other 1911's.

When I got the gun, it looked like Colt used water colors for the finish so I had it cerakoted. When I get it back from Wilshire (doing a trigger job on it) I may carry it in a belt slide.

OK I just spent a few minutes researching used stag horn grips and have decided that when the time comes, fake stag horn looks pretty good. Holy crap! The real ones have gone up in price! Last time I bought a pair was about 35 years ago. I bought them for $20. I expected maybe $50, not $130 up.

Well, imitation stag horn grips will look exactly like that; imitation.

I hate to sound like a snob but you are right on target.
I've not seen a set of imitation stag grips that really look authentic.

True but when the real thing is WAY out of your price range, you buy the best you can and handle them enough to wear off the shine.

I ended up trading a friend for a pair of them.

One of those looks familiar lol. Are those the grips from ebay on the full size? I like them. I'm wondering how they'd look on mine.

If you ever want to rid yourself of that full size, let me know.

Yes those grips are the same as the ones on ebay. I traded for them and they have a small chip at the top, but I like them. They look good and have some texture to them for grip.
