Hero-Gear: Hero 1911 CBOB w/ New Grips

[Guest JHatmaker]

Ordered a new set of Olive Drab AlumaGrips for my CBOB. Very impressed with the fit and finish as well as the color. I think it really sets off the color of the frame and slide.

"Built" the grips on AlumaGrips' website, only took about a week from submitting my order to delivered to my door. Here are some before and after pics:

Before (Wood Grips)

After (AlumaGrips)

The new grips really set off the gun. A very good looking 1911.

When I saw the "before" pic, I thought, "sweet." i like wood grips.

Then I saw the "after" pics, and I have to admit that it's now "wicked sweet."

Nice. I knew you were going to end up with a set at some point.

[Guest Verbal Kint]

VERY nice.

[Guest 10mm4me]

Nice, nothing like a nice 1911

[ShaunM]

Those Hero 1911's sure look nice and the grips really compliment it.

[Guest Plainsman]

Looks very good with both grip setups in my opinion! It looks like a purified battle gun with the alumagrips though!

[Guest JHatmaker]

Thanks for the compliments fellers.

Good move with the grips. Looks a lot better.

[Murgatroy]

Those grips really set it off. Clean. I like it.

[Guest flyfishtn]

That is a great looking gun. I'm new to 1911's and have been doing a lot of reading over on 1911forum. How do you like the bobbed tail as far as grip? Do you feel like it changes the angle of the gun in your hand? I can see how beneficial it would be in concealment because the most obtrusive point on my gun is the angled grip poking through my shirt.
