Brighton, CO, July 2014– Rio Grande Custom Grips www.riograndecustomgrips.com announces its NEW line of compact handgun grips for compact, Officer, Defender model 1911 pistols with a new high-traction grip surface.
With many new incredibly beautiful imbedded designs and statements these grips are a great and affordable way to seriously dress up your 1911 type compact. They will fit any 1911 brand/type compact handgun that is patterned off the original Colt compact frame.
It gets Better. Rio Grande has added one unique and very useful feature to these smaller grips, their RioGrip. The RioGrip is a pattern imbedded into the tough polymer surface that sort of resembles snake scales. These unique oval dimples give an excellent purchase between hand and grip and yet do not snag up on clothing as does checkering.
Rio Grande Custom Grips produces a huge series of illustrated handgun grips (also known as stocks) for revolvers and various pistols www.riograndecustomgrips.com. Using a proprietary patented process the company can put most any image, illustration and/or verbiage on a handgun grip. Made from molded high-strength specialized polymer the grips are seriously tough and durable.
Unique to the Rio Grande brand, their grips and images are salt, oil, solvent, water impact and abrasion resistant because the image is encased in tough poly-material made to last.

If I were a member of the Yakuza and owned a compact 1911, it would have those grips on them.
No, Yakuza is Japanese. You’re thinking of the Triads.
Whatever!
They both look drowsy all the time! Also I wouldn’t trust them on the road.
This was a really bad joke, I apologize in advance. My standards have really fallen.
You got a chuckle out of me nonetheless.
Think Howle’s Moving Castle or Swept Away type dragon
Those are some silly-ass looking grips. Can’t picture any of them on my guns.
I think those would look smoking hot on a chrome or nickel 1911, maybe even a two tone.
Thanks for sharing.
Marketing idea: TTAG grips.
Why not let the readers come up with a design of the TTAG logo for use on these grips? We buy them as part of a new product promotion.
Thank you, but no.
Those are awesome! A lot of cool looking grips on their site. Looks like you can get most of them for full-size 1911s as well.
Now I regret not getting in on the $330 Citadel 1911 deal that Academy had a couple days ago.

Uhhhhh…..no
I’d personally prefer some gold or silver dragons… that shade of red looks a bit off to me.
Besides, if you’re gonna ostentatious with your 1911 grips, you might as well go balls out. MORE BLING! as the youngsters stay these days.
