I'm going to have to swap out the grips because the grips on it are not legal for the class I want to shoot. Any ideas? There seems to be no shortage of 1911 grips out there.

Nice looking piece, but what 1911's arent :)
Whats the rules on grips???

Gold Cup, no need to start anywhere but near the top!!!

Guessing Bullseye? That's a nice looking pistola señor.

CMP rules 6.7.3 As-Issued 1991's... no wrap-around grips. Basically they have to be dimensionally the same as the grips on as-issed service pistols. I think there is some leeway given on colors and images, maybe some leeway on material.

I have bought form this vendor before. He will make whatever you want out of whatever material or wood type. Just have to ask him

I came a couple clicks left after this.

Nice Gold Cup.

I have not looked but you may want to check on the beavertail safety as well as the commander hammer.

I seem to recall those not being allowed. I've been wrong before so this may be another one to chalk up.

ETA: Pull up pg38 in the rulebook. "Combat" style hammer and Beavergrip safety are specifically mentioned as illegal. I'll trade you a stock SA Inc GI or Mil-spec straight up for the Gold Cup!!!

[canes7]

I figured there may be more mods necessary. I specifically compared this to a Colt Government model because I had no clue what the differences are between this hammer and that hammer or safeties. The government model had the same parts. Oh Well.. I don't plan on truly competing until I leg-out with the rifle.

Thanks for the offer, but I wouldn't want to burden you with these illegal parts. :)

[cuppednlocked]

I'm willing to carry that cross! It would be difficult but someone has to do it!!!

Nice sir!!! Very nice!! Peace Toolman

For 1911 grips, try this guy. Most likely not what you are looking for, but for those that do not own a 1911, these grips are reasons to get one.
