Name this 1911

I was reading a news article earlier today and noticed this 1911 with a frame I've never seen before. Who makes this 1911?
Or is it part of the grips?

I believe you are asking about a Safari Arms frame, of which is now Olympic Arms. The frame is cast with that triggerguard, fingergroove, and raised checkering.

Yep. Learn something new everyday. Thanks guys.

Melensdad has one. Or two. Or more. I think.

As to it's name, it's Sylvia.

Hey it's good enough for Angelina...

Not sure I like that grip.
I like the slide cuts though.
Obviously anybody that carries a gun with a spider on it must be a bad ass...

I haven't found a 1911 I didn't like. Some I've liked better than others though. I don't own any really top end 1911's. Of those I do own the Kimber ultra carry II and the Ruger SR1911 are my favorites.

Name the 1911? I shall call him squishy, and he shall be mine. He shall be... my squishy.

if memory serves me right, a lot of people didnt like the grip frame, and ended up grinding off that finger grove/grip enhancer/blister maker what ever you call it.

Safari Arms sold 1911 styled like that also. They were a greatly controllable grip, but uncomforatable and much shooting would leave my finger sore.

Um..... call me crazy, I don't like it. Slick grips? Finger groove for aiding in control, never thought any 1911 I've ever owned or shot was uncontrollable! Looks like something out of a video game.
