    The Frags are now available in a Double Diamond pattern, too.

    Apart from everything else, and before I even knew John, I knew he was a square shooter. It's good dealing with good guys.

    Just installed one of my VZ Operator II's this morning. The grip bushing came out with the screw on the other, but I like the feel.

    Do you have a pic of the DD Frags? Can't find them on the VZ Site.

    After carrying 1911's for the past 25 years, I have found the following grips to work well: Simonich Gunner Grips for pistols with golf ball or scallop type front strap treatment, VZ Diamond Back Grips for checkered pistols, Pachmayer GM45C rubber grips for issued pistols with plain front straps. I look forward to trying the VZ Frag grips.

    I actually just (as in yesterday) got in a new pair of VZ Operator II's for my LW Champion Operator. I've run Gunner Grips on my other 1911 for a while and thought I'd see which I like better. I haven't gotten a chance to put the Springfield through its paces with the VZ's on them but dry-firing they seem pretty good.

    Oh, and I got "Black Sand" because I wanted it to be pretty.

    I thought I was going to sound out there when I said I had Simonich Gunners on one, and GM45C's on my Springfield Loaded.

    Running Alumagrips on my EDC, though other options are on the table. My old VZ Operators were great grips, but just didn't fit that pistol.

    Material on VZ operators feels like grips always oily.

    Simonich Gunner Grips - not abrasive surface and not slippery, great grips.

    I bought a set of VZ Operator II's after hearing a lot of good stuff about them online.
    I found they didnt taper cleanly to the front and back, and so while not thicker in the middle than what I was used to (alumagrips) they did increase the grip circumfrence and the ledge between the edge of the grip and the front and back was not to my liking.
    I went back to alumagrips.
    I had issues with the alumagrips working loose (even with loctite) and have scince gone to rubber washers on the screws which solves the problem.

    Finally installed my VZ Operator II's and I love them. VZ offers great customer service.
