Ronny67 Posted April 16, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 16, 2015 Hey everyone, I need some help. I am looking for a pair of clear plastic "sweetheart" grips for my 1911. I can't seem to find any for sale. Does anyone know where I could get some? -The picture is not mine, just reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROBS Posted April 16, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 16, 2015 I used to see them for sale periodically on ebay. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogface72 Posted April 17, 2015 Share #3 Posted April 17, 2015 It would not be too hard to make a pair...they would be fake/display. Sepia with a pair of warmed over 1911 glass or plexi grips would fake it pretty cheap. Google "Plexiglass 1911 grips". From what I have read they were not too rare.

Sepia with a pair of warmed over 1911 glass or plexi grips would fake it pretty cheap. Google "Plexiglass 1911 grips". From what I have read they were not too rare. I have considered making a pair. However I want them done right and I don't know how my hamfisted plastic working abilities would turn out... Thanks for the comments though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
