and we were both shocked about one glaring fault. The std. 1911 grips do not fit. They are off several thousandths and the holes do not align. That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. I have to ask WHY?! There is an open opportunity for some goober to capitalize on a situation and manufacture some "offset" Rock Island Conversion bushings. They actually have Rock Island Specific grips for sale now.
Something so simple. The charm of the 1911 Govt. model is the commonality of parts made from 1911 to now. Why, oh why, screw up such a basic thing as grip bushing alignment specs.?!
