Dude, what are the grips on the Kimber (3rd from left), and where can I order some?

Thanks. That's what I was thinking, but they looked like micarta, not G-10. Must be the lighting.

Thank you Sir.


I prefer the Videcki Long Match specimen on a Custom NOVAK Combat Commander pictured below which is the original Trigger that was ripped off/copied.


Hard to find them these days but they are around and not unobtanium...








Here's some more (4) MARS Custom specimen's Steve has done for me.


Chuck Roger's does a SUPERB Golf Ball MSH as well.

Very nice! I had not seen the original trigger before. I like how he drilled the set screw through the hole of the 3 hole skeleton trigger. I like the traditional Videki Vickers/Yam trigger that is on my Vickers Recon.

I agree Rogers does some very nice work. I have seen a good bit of his stuff on LTW... He builds a nice hard use 1911...

John Harrison is my guy, but there are a dozen or so Master 1911 smiths that you can't go wrong with these days.

You have some very nice hard use 1911's...

A passion of mine and character flaw....

I live it every day because I use and work w/ them.

Agreed, those are all VERY talented smith's and my reference was specifically only for the Golf ball type of work I know of or have seen to date.

All the other smith's you are immensely talented no doubt.

That Harrison DVC pictured above is flat out gorgeous etc.

While it was copied by some, Videcki retired and sold the tooling and rights to Bob Greider. Greider makes them as OEM for most of the companies that sell triggers.

Thanks for the factoid! I hope your business is thriving these days, you certainly do some excellent work.

I have always wanted a Colt 1911 and finally I have one. The fit and finish is perfect and it only had approx. 200 rounds through it and was a safe queen. The prior owner is a man who knows his Colts and took very good care of this one.
Thanks Wes!
