I'm looking for 2 sets of grip panels 1) Double Diamond Checkered, flat bottomed, cocobolo 1911 grips with the cut for the mainspring housing pin and 2)checkered walnut grips without a thumbrest for a post '72 Ruger standard model.
I would not have thought either of these would be hard to find, but apparently they are. I can find countless 1911 grips with a flat bottom, but no cutout for the mainspring housing pin, and I can find countless Ruger grips, but they all have thumbrests.
Does anybody have a good source for either of these? I guess if I get desperate I'll just get some flat bottomed grips for the 1911 and cut out the bit for the pin. As far as the Ruger, I don't know.
