I am extremely proud to bring you the very best Micarta® and G10 grips on the market today. By combining CNC technology with some of the most advanced industrial laminates available, I am able to bring the world of 1911 grips up to date by offering some of the most durable, unique, yet impressively functional grips for one of the most famous and battle tested handguns in the world, the 1911.

I currently design grips for the Colt 1911 and Browning Hi Power. Other platforms are soon to come. The 1911 grips will also fit most clones such as Springfield Armory, Kimber, Nighthawk, Ed Brown, Wilson Combat, and a host of other 1911’s. They come in numerous configurations to fit all sizes which include, Full Size / Government, Commander, Compact / Officer, Bobtail™, Squared Bottom for Magwells, and Ultra Slims. The Hi Power grips will fit most of the newer Mark ll and lll produced after 1982.
Many texture and color options are also provided so an individual can tailor their handgun to the task of which they will be using it. I will also take semi-custom orders when called in to make additional modifications were needed. For example, Beveled bottoms, rounding all points for carry, ambidextrous safety cuts, inlay medallions, and laser etching to name a few.
Our grips are currently being used by the best in the businesses which include: USMC Force Recon, Navy SEAL teams, Homeland Security, U.S.Border Patrol, FBI, LAPD, Numerous SWAT teams throughout the country, Jordanian Elite Security Force, and most especially people like you.
A Little About Me
My name is John VanZyck. Shooting and gun collecting has been a hobby and passion of mine ever since my dad gave me my first .22 back when I was ten or so. We spent many a weekend in the Everglades target shooting and telling stories of how his dad did the same with him. I am now an avid hunter in Northern Florida as well as a regular at the Tallahassee Rifle & Pistol Club outdoor range. You’ll find me participating in numerous events throughout the year which include NRA Action Pistol, USPSA matches, Glock matches (only when they bug me enough), High Power, and CMP matches. I love it all! Something about the smell of gunpowder just does it for me.
Micarta®
Micarta
is a trade name that was given to thermoset composites back in the
1890s by Westinghouse. We chose Micarta® for three reasons:
1. Durability: Micarta® has a higher tensile strength
than steel. It is used in storm shelters to provide state of the
art protection rooms to ward off the threats from tornadoes. It
is also being tested to armor aircraft cockpit doors.
2. Impervious to changes in temperature: This material
will not swell, warp, or crack with changes in temperature. It
is an excellent insulator against heat. Unlike other so called
high-end grips on the market, ours stays cool and comfortable.
3. Texture: When milled, Micarta gives a highly slip resistant
surface.
There are three basic types of Micarta®: Paper, Linen,
and Canvas. Paper Micarta® is denser in color and thus
more decorative. Linen Micarta® is medium grade in toughness
and durability, it renders a good texture and intriguing appearance
when milled. Canvas Micarta® is the strongest and the best in
texture of the three. Pieces of canvas protrude through the laminate
when milled adding additional texture to the grip. I personally
like the look and feel of the canvas. It has that rugged personality
and a definite A+ on the cool factor scale.

Specialty
Products
The meat and potatoes of this site are the grips; however I have the love for other cool toys such as the AR10, AR15, Browning Hi Power, Shotguns, and edged weapons. If I come across anything that catches my eye that I can bring to my customers through this site, I will. I hope to also add items that complement the 1911 such as lanyards, MSH units, holsters, high quality replacement parts for the MIM crap that you see used a lot, ETC… If you see or make something of interest along these lines feel free to contact me. Let’s get it out for all to see.
