Fuser Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Call 1-800-680-6866, and ask for customer service. The grips are called Cocobolo Cross-Cannon grips. $16.50 each, $33 for a pair, IIRC, plus shipping. I don't remember the part numbers, but they'll know what you're talking about. Or eBay, yeah, but they're pretty rare even on eBay. Beautiful grips, I loved mine. Edited March 4, 2008 by Render Link to post Share on other sites
SigPro552 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 They have them at UNCO. $60 is quite pricey, but they look nice, and are weighted I believe. Link to post Share on other sites
Vercingetorix Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 anyone know of a good kit to make an operator like that from a TM 1911? I have been looking for an ACURATE kit for the operator or the loaded pistonl... Sadly, I haven't found anything... Darn you nova! Make these kits! Link to post Share on other sites
Fuser Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 They have them at UNCO. $60 is quite pricey, but they look nice, and are weighted I believe. Those aren't the real deal, they're made by Shooter's Design. So they're not cocobolo wood. You'd be paying nearly twice as much as the real things cost for replicas made of lower quality wood.

Carter Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Masakarijoe, Jarhead, Render: Thanks a bunch. I'll check eBay first then call up Springfield Armory ( assume that's the tele number) tomorrow. Render, I assume by "loved" you mean you don't have them anymore? If you do, any chance of selling?

hkssr20det Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 UNCo carries the SD versions, but mine came from Guns N Guys. They are by Altamont and are probably exactly the same thing as you would get from Springfield, but yes more expensive. I know more than one person that has bought them from SA directly.

Fuser Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Render, I assume by "loved" you mean you don't have them anymore? If you do, any chance of selling? Yeah, long gone. Nicest pistol I've ever had. But I still have pictures. TM M1911-A1 PGC Slide, Frame, Outer Barrel, Rear Sight PGC 150% spring SA Cross Cannon grips ...some other stuff I can't remember this is ancient history... Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Darn, well, it was worth a shot. Beautiful pistol by the way. Whoever got it was very, very lucky. Link to post Share on other sites

SamJacksonFan Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 It would be nice to have Springfield grips with a Springfield Armory 1911 G.I., Milspec, Operator, TRP. Marushin has a close Operator copy, but missing the SA company markings and lacking the finish quality what I see from several pictures so far. But when they arrive around here, I'll have a closer look. But I don't know of a aftermarket slide and frame kit that makes exactly the look of this Operator. PGC oder Prime has the version with quare trigger guard. But if there's a kit out there exactly as the picture posted above, I'd be interested to know Link to post Share on other sites

(but not once I convert it to a bobtail) now. .if only someone can show a full metal MAGNA Wilson 1911. . . Link to post Share on other sites
