I have a few.

You probably have me beat.

I have more double-diamonds, though.

I'm in the process of converting a set of thin, white cocobolo diamonds to Bob grips.
Used my existing set to mark them up, an went to the band saw.
Sealing them up with Tung oil now.

I doubt it, the whole box is full, not just the top layer. I really should get rid of a lot.

Have you settled on getting your Elite bobbed or did you add to the collection?

Good grief!

Tried:

Hogue Cobblestone Rubber

VZ Operator II

Pachmayr Signature

For looks, the original Colt Walnut with gold Colt emblem looked the best to me.

For shooting, the Pachmayr's worked best.

Pretty boring I guess.

Ummmmm, maybe I might be adding 🤔🙄

I've decided to leave the Elite as, is, for now. It's pretty much set up the way I wanted it.

I could never hang onto a 1911 outfitted with these unless they were just cleaned and my hands washed

Worked good for me.

Maybe they're "surgical grips"
