Looking to upgrade your 1911 grips? The author takes a look at the LOK Grips and tests them on his Springfield TRP Operator.
You guys are cool, too.
For projects like this, one of my go-to grip companies is LOK Grips.
This is due to their wide array of design and color choices for a broad selection of pistols.
Made of G-10 — a laminate material — the grips are resistant to harsh conditions while providing an excellent surface to lock the hand in place.
The grips are always of the highest quality and their customer support is fantastic.
All the grips are made right here in the U.S.A. using the highest quality materials that you could trust.
They are also very fairly priced in the market.
A good set of grips can improve your confidence and shooting when carrying a gun for personal protection.
I ordered their all black G10 Ridgeback grips for my TRP Operator.
Its everything you could want in more of a tactical-style 1911.

The author found the LOK Grips provided an excellent texture to control the gun without causing discomfort or abrasions.
Then it would be the black pearl Ive always imagined.
It seems to be a mixture of their bogies pattern and the ridgebacks.
Another grip I was on the fence about trying was the Mayhem style.
The G10 LOK Grips match the Springfield TRP Operator very well. Both the color and styling make them look as if they were original equipment.
If I got a different color from the black, I think I would do an OD green.
I think the OD green and black are a really nice combo without being too flashy.
From enhancing your grip to just making your pistol more personal, theyve got an option for you.
