So I picked up a little citadel compact 1911 45 and love it. It already has the skeletonized trigger, hammer and s nice beaver tail from the factory. I'd like to get some nice grips with hex screws and some more mags. Any recommendations to keep it running and looking good?

I've tried different grips on my SW1911 sub-compact, but I keep going back to the factory synthetic ones. They're not pretty, but they work extremely well. Thin, grippy, and tough. If you're more interested in function over cosmetics, I recommend these.

I am about to pay off a Rock Island Armory compact 1911 I've had on layaway for about a month. I'm leaning towards these guys in Vietnam for my grips: http://www.handicraft-vn.com/shop/pistol-grips-1911a1-grips-c-101_102.html
I'm deciding between the white buffalo bone, the black buffalo horn with either the Star of David or menorah abalone insert, or have him do a custom set with the white buffalo bone and either the Star of David or menorah abalone insert.

Their workmanship is exquisite. I thought there was a review of Kimson grips in the M1911.org magazine a few years back but, if there was, I can't find it. But I learned of the company from someone at M1911.org and I have two sets of Kimson's grips. They've been in a box for several years. Now that I have them, although I appreciate the intricate craftsmanship, I realize that they are much too ornate for my taste. I should have gotten a set of plain white, bone or horn grips, not the ones with the fancy inlays.chaim said:I am about to pay off a Rock Island Armory compact 1911 I've had on layaway for about a month.
