Question for 1911 owners

[Mjolnir]

I would have that radius removed for a more comfortable high grip (especially combined with a high rise beaver tail).

You know us 1911 guys are cool dudes. Where else can one say "beaver" and "tail" in the same sentence and not get funny stares from the Mrs.?

It allows for much higher grip, (even with an arched MSH). I consider it a must have on any 1911.

One of my 1911s has the undercut triggerguard, two don't. Two of them have 25 lpi frontstrap checkering. I would prioritize the checkering over the undercut triggerguard.

For me, the checkering is virtually a "must have"; the undercut triggerguard is a "nice to have."

Best, Jon

Thanks everyone for you input. I shot an Ed Brown that had it done and i really liked it now just finding a place that can do it.

I had mine done on a Colt by Alex Hamilton at Ten Ring Precision in San Antonio. He also did stipling on the front strap instead of the checkering which I like a lot better than my Kimbers with checkering. Looks great and gives a high, comfortable and secure grip.

do you happen to have a pic?

Plk,

Not currently but I can get you one.

the best feeling undercut style for me is colt's, even though i'm not a colt guy.

Well said, +1.

Sorry I took so long getting these but here are a few pics to give you an idea.
