I’m digging these grips. Definitely tossed the Wilson into BBQ gun territory. I’ll be swapping them back out for wood when I take it to the range.

Mastodon have been extinct for a few millennia, so I have no guilt.

Jesus that’s a nice looking gun. I have really been liking stag grips as of late. I haven’t traditionally but as of late I’ve seen few guns that are just really fetching with them, yours being one.

Edited- are they really mastodon? Even cooler but they have a stag’ish look

Yup. Mastodon ivory with just a hint of bark. I flip flopped between these and a solid cream colored set for days before I pulled the trigger. After getting them and putting them in the gun I think I chose correctly.

I’ve got elk on a couple of guns and had a nice set of stag once before it vanished from the market. This is nicer. Not as nice as good elephant ivory, but it’s pretty close.

And thanks. That’s by far the nicest gun I own. It’s pretty much my ideal 1911. Super nice trigger, clean old school looks, feeds everything I put in it, and it makes me look like a much better shooter than I am.

I don’t carry it as much as my TRP though. The TRP isn’t quite as nice or anywhere near as good looking, but I’m a lot less concerned about banging it around.

You did...you definitely did! Those are really freaking nice, and go perfectly with that gun. I love the character they have compared to what a plain set would have been.

That looks great!

A few years back I was not a fan at all of stag or ivory grips. Pics of guns like yours (and a dose of TV’s “Longmire” series) eventually put me on the right path haha…

Wow, those are a dead-ringer for "Walt Longmire's" 1911. My wife and I toured the Buffalo Bill Museum out in Cody WY last summer and got a kick out of the movie guns on display: Paladin, three of the Bonanza Cartrights, Matt Dillon, etc. Fot those that fancy Longmire's deputy, "Vic", her M-92 Beretta is there as well.

I've had a yen for a set of stag grips on one of my pistolas since I was ten years old and that beautiful set you've got there just rekindled the flame! Beautiful set up on a terrific side arm. Best regards, Rod

Very nice. I am really beginning to like the contrast between a black/deep blued pistol and a nice ivory/stag grip. I would really like a hackathorn special, but price of entry is too steep for me.

That is a very clean Wilson, not a bunch of crazy writing on it. And nice grips is huge plus.

Nice look! Makes me think of Longmire. Loved that show and he had a 1911 with some sweet stags.

A dressed up clean 1911 is something to behold.
