The grip fit for Colt SAA's has changed greatly over the years. The first generations Colts are quite close in workmanship. The second generation Colts have three major grip variations. The third generation Colts all have to be individually fit as their grip tolerances are all over the place. The safest way to install exotic grips is to gets an oversized set and hand fit. 1911 grips are much more forgiving. All grips fit except for the Chinese Norinco and the llama which is a 1911 lookabitalike but not a true 1911.

I make exotic grips for 1911's out of ultra fancy woods, ivory, mother of pearl, jade, mammouth ivory and teeth, dinosaur bone (rough for 3 sets of Tyrannosaurus Rex available), petrified wood, and other exotics.
