Add 1911 grips to a 22/45

Any one ever tackled this themselves?

I've seen threads where people mill the integral grips flat and then press in threaded brass inserts. There used to be someone on RFC that did it for a reasonable cost, but that seems like a lot of work/expense since you can buy them with removable grip panels.

Yeah when I got mine I couldn't find one with removable grips. I have seen those threads and that got me thinking about it. I have also thought about selling it and buying a new one but I don't want to take it apart to get all my tandemkross goodies out of it or take a loss on it and have to buy all new goodies.

I did it last year... not real hard, just take your time and it works fine. I was pleased with the results. Use epoxy on the inserts for a little extra strength

Nothing screams poor craftsmanship like wrinkles in your duct tape
