I own ONE pistol that I haven't customized - my 75th anniversary PPK. Everything else gets new grips or sights something else to suit me. Most brands are good as is but need a personal touch to make them your own.

:) I got a Taurus 1911 last spring and it ROCKS. I had to change out the grips though. Hey, it's a 1911, you've got to customize it. I think that's a law somewhere.

YES...It's a LAW....... ;D

Really nice grips. What brand and where did you get them? I've been thinking of a set for my Springfield.

I got on this thread late, but here's my 2 pennies worth: I've got three Kimbers (had 4, but that's a long story), an Ed Brown Kobra Carry (4 1/4"), a detonics CombatMaster, and 2 Les Baers.  I swapped out all the internal parts in the Kimbers for Ed Brown parts after way to many failures (including a thumb safety that broke off right at the pin); I carry either the Detonics or the Ed Brown--absolutely no complaints; and I shoot IDPA with the Baers--after seven or eight thousand rounds in each of the Baers my only comment is absolute, unqualified reliability--round nose, semi-wadcutters flat nose, handloads of factory, they haven't so much as hiccupped.

You may have discovered the true meaning to life!   ;D

1. When you are drowning
2. When you are on fire

Other than that, stock up...... ::)

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

 ;D That's a good one. If my footlocker ever catches on fire I'm screwed. The bottom is packed with ammo and the top is full of knives.  :o  That's just shrapnel just waiting to happen.
