SIGNATURE SERIES CUSTOM 1911 GRIPS DESERT IRONWOOD BURL SET 046
Pure Silver coin WG medallions limited edition set.. X grade semi slim grips. Use standard 1911 grip screws, but slimmer than factory standard 1911 grips.
Signature series grips are crafted from the top 10% of wood, then see several extra hours of hand sanding and polishing, with a 3 part oil finishing process that brings out the inner fire of the wood in a rubbed polished look, without the harsh gloss of chemical finishes. Each set has our brand logo inset in copper in the back, our mark that is only inlaid in the signature series!
Photos are done in a studio under natural light or 5k "daylight" studio lighting. We cannot replicate all the various different lighting situations customers may experience, and wood grain in grips will differ in hue and chatoyance in different lighting. Desert ironwood will have bright gold to dark browns and orange / reds in natural daylight, but will appear darker hued under lower light levels.
Handcrafted from a block of highly figured Sonoran Desert Ironwood burl which is a material Wicked Grips pioneered in the gun industry 2 decades ago. Handcrafted by Ed Strange in our Michigan workshop. Ed's hand crafted grips have graced the covers of numerous magazines, catalogs, and can be seen in some popular TV series and movies. Ed will spend hours of intense labor to craft each set, slowing bringing out the beauty of the material while fitting to quality pistols to guarantee a level of fit worthy of the Wicked Grips name.

This set has been fit to Les Baer and Colt frames. The plunger tube fitment and left side safety was fit with these quality guns in mind. While this set will fit any standard 1911, variations in plunger tube, mainspring housing pins slide release and safety levers may require added care when first installing. Do no force grips onto a gun that is not fit for this configuration. If they require extra minor fitting to your exact needs, contact us and let us assist you.
Note on installation. Grip screws can damage exotic material grips if over torqued. Do not overtighten grip screws. There is no need for this. Grips come with orings installed, simply snug up grip screws. You may use a small dab of blue loctite if you feel its necessary. We will not warranty any damage to grips from over tightening grip screws.
