Finally scored some Busse 1911 grips

[Ellis Wyatt]

I have been trying to score some orange Busse 1911 grips for a while. I happened to check the exchange the other day and saw a set up for sale. They arrived today and on the 1911 they went.

My Busse hunting package is complete, just in time for deer season.

Very nice there. I have a set of green ones but not my own 1911 to put them on. The wife claimed the Kimber Eclipse because I bought her a set of purple burl wood grips a while back. I have them, just waiting for the right 1911 to come along.

WOW.... man that is just awesome. You have excellent taste my friend, I am jealous but extremely impressed all at the same time. You even have the XM-18 w/an orange scale. Top notch.

I don't know why, but this came to mind almost immediately after seeing your pic:

Very nice set!

Did Busse only make grips for full size 1911s?

Thanks Ridgeline. I have had many blades in orange, but the 1911 grips have been very difficult to track down. I will have to get an updated picture of the collection this weekend. The knives are spread all over the house, truck and bags, but they should at least be easy to find...

Edited: Decided to go ahead and take some updated pictures. I have been playing around with my new camera, hope you enjoy the new pictures.

NICE :thumbup:, I've been looking for a set for mine for a while too

Very nice set!

Did Busse only make grips for full size 1911s?

And as far as I know, yes. And they are not designed for ambidextrous safties either.

Sweet score!

Those grips look great surrounded by all of your other plunder!

Ok, wow, that collection is just great, I'm simply blown away. I love orange, and that just kicks so much ass I'm struggling to put it in words. Thanks for sharing, you have great taste in blades.

Dude awesome collection

Thanks for all the comments. I decided to go ahead and take a few more pictures while I had the camera out. Here are a couple more shots of some orange Busse blades with a few other knives thrown in. Enjoy.
And as I look at my own photos, I realize that I have been neglecting my passion for 1911s. I have been wanting to upgrade from the Kimber for a while. Next batch of photos might have to include a new shooter...Les Baer or WC perhaps...
