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 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.
