Check out rimfirecentral or google 22/45 grips mods for instructions on mating 1911 grips to it...will make it look a little nicer and feel EXACTLY like a 1911, if that interests you.
I just couldn't get used to the thin grip, so I ended up with a used MKII and a Neos 6" inox instead. Both will do ~1" @ 25yds, rested, with irons. I bought 'em for plinking around the farm, and a little small game hunting.
Enjoy it!

sort of a pain with holstering, but worth the gain in accuracy for me...

I love the target grip on mine, fits my big greasy hand real good! :chuckle:

I love my MKII grip as well.
Have you held a 22/45? What are your thoughts?

I put a HiViz front sight, and now looking for the rear set... awesome, wickedly accurate.you should check out "one ragged hole" its a ghost ring style rear site. JB

Well, I don't think anyone here is gunna come between you and your "beefy grip."
Nice shootin, btw.
Bird was out there a ways, took three rounds to plink it down, running in the grass ahead of me. After I shot and walked up, three more busted up and gone..... :'(
JDB, where did you see the ghost ring...?
I was thinking of the two tiny HiViz dots, line all three up and plink....

Here is the website that describes the grip modification and other upgrades.

Well I went by the Gun shop today and my pistol is in, but they haven't received the release yet!!!!
I've bought maybe 15+ guns in the last 12 years. Never had a delay. I've always gone home the same day with Handguns too, thx to the CPL. What gives? It has been 3-4 years since I bought something from a shop though :dunno:
:o :o 3-4 years without a new gun!! did I just say that??...hey boss I um gotta go shopping, can I leave early?

That said I really like the pistol there and wish I could have one for grouse hunting.

Gunsmith charges? These modifications are something you can do yourself, It was a little overwhelming at first but after looking at how it all went together I was able to understand it. Plenty of help on the internet, found as many drawings as I could and put it all back together. Of course it would not fire the first time :bash: I think it was the sear spring that was in wrong if I remember right.
I guess what I am saying is I took it all apart thinking that if I could not get it back together I could always take it to a gunsmith to have it put back together.

Smdave you get really funny looks from the Gunsmith when you bring in a new gun completely disassembled in a box!!!! And then ask him if he can put it back together!!!
Think that's embarrassing? When I was a kid one of the Dads on the block had to do that with his Harley :chuckle: :chuckle:

My gun is now really tight in the Uncle Mikes holster (I think it is a #4) I am now looking for a bigger holster.

i pulled that dang thing apart to clean it once. after a couple of hours smdave printed off a taken apart exploded drawing of one so i could put it back together. then i put it together. took it apart. fixed mistakes i made, then put it back together again.
