Polymer Rail and Grip for 1911

[T Bill 649]

Recover Tactical is offering a grip and rail system for 1911.  Great way to add a light or laser to a 1911. Also adds a square front to the trigger guard.  Three colors offered. Black, tan, Olive drab.

interesting!

 

I guess it depends upon the the texture of the material, and the added width

of the hand grip.................

why not just buy a railed 1911? this seems like a poor solution to a problem that doesn't exist. if you want a laser get crimson trace grips. light? use a handheld one

Meh ... 1911's are too pretty to cover in plastic

[antimatter 139]

That's actually pretty cool.

[checko 180]

Eh. I'd rather buy the surefire add on rail. That won't fit in any production holsters.

Sharp idea!

I guess it's a good idea for those that prefer their solid 1911 grip would be better if it felt like a nerf gun instead.

It works and I like it...  Had to go with the black one.

Because some people like the non-railed 1911, but still like the ability to run a light...

 

And I'm not going to buy a dedicated railed 1911 when I own a SR1911 already. No real desire to invest in another identical pistol. I considered tossing a Novak rail, but then I lose a lot of holster compatibility.

 

$50 for a non permanent way to mount a light is definitely a solution for a few people. And owning the grip for a few month, it definitely is a good product.

 

 

I run either Magpul grips or these on my SR1911. After seeing a few videos on these grips, I sent mine to LightFighter Innovations for a little bit of stippling.

 

 

I have the screws at CCR for plating. I think the contrast will go good, however I did it since they reminded me of my LCP CT screws, which rusted pretty easily.

What the hell kind of excuse is that? Who in the name of Elmer Fudd said you cannot get another 1911 because you have one already? Totaly bogus maaaan! That's blaspheme!

I know... I mean what the hell! I should say the hell with bills and just put money on an identical gun to one that I have. Maybe I should go look at a Ed Brown.

What I don't like about it is it's too permenent. You can't just pop it off in other words. Also leaves you with less grip options. Too much extra baggage. If it were something that could be just adapted to the trigger guard, it'd be better.

It's pretty cool... Heard they have one coming out for the Baretta.

What?If you meant the Recover grip, it is a total of 4 grip screws, and then two self contained screw/nuts on the rail. Removes just like standard grips.If you meant something else, sorry, didn't follow.

I think the Beretta version is up for pre-order or shipping now.

Exactly. Can't just remove it with minimum effort on the go.

It takes about the same time as if you where swapping out the regular grips lol...

 

If its NOT you, it not for you.  Pretty simple! We are just sharing actual pictures of the product.  Which in my opinion looks good and it works.

the stippling looks good!  how do you like the feel now?

[BullzeyeNJ 104]

Interesting accessory. You could always do something like this if you like them rails and the fat polymer grip...

Never mind.... Brain fart. Carry on....

I love it. The stock grip had some traction, but the stippling makes it 100% better.

 

I had the old grip smooth out prior to stippling. Definitely recommend that, being it really cleans up the grip.

 

Supposedly, they are releasing a holster to go with the grip. Only problem is that there needs to be a cut on the dust cover to accept the retention point (think like a Serpa). Someone from Recover said there would be an exchange program of some sort, but I'm not going that route. I'll stick with the Fobus holster instead of redoing a new set. It isn't like I carry the 1911...
