This is my nightstand firearm, made the rosewood grips myself from blanks...

My true SHTF sidearm is my CZ75B in .40. With all deference to the 1911's legendary durability, the CZ is built with the same design sensibilities of the T34 tank, and I've found that for me personally, the ergonomics are about perfect for my hands.

You did a great job on those grips.

I made a set for my Unique Model L in .22LR. It is actually a very fine pistol but the original plastic grips broke. I cut out two blanks from the side of a dead TV. The plastic in the TV was perfect for grips. Tough, durable and fairly easy to carve.

I didn’t do near the job you did but functionally they are perfect.

I busted the grips on a p220 european release. I sure wish I had your skill, I’d fix that eye sore.

Just curious, how is the rise when you shoot 10mm in a government model?
