Hey all,
Has anyone seen any cheap G10 grips for a full size 5" 1911 around? The only ones I've seen are $65+ and I would still have to get new slim screws/bushing! This is for a RIA tactical w/ single sided safety.
Slim would be preferred but it would not be a deal breaker. I would like to pay less than $30 dollars if possible. The style of the grips doesn't matter, just no wrap-around or smooth grips.
I'm looking to match my carry knife:

Thank you all!!!!

PS: If there simply isn't such a beast, how much different does micarta feel? Does it withstand the scrapes, scratches, and dents that G10 does?
