I was gonna say that John’s grips are reminiscent of speed/security six grips, but a sleeker, smoother version. “Smooth operatah”.

Picked up my two Tisas's today. Great fit and finish. Tight slide to frame fit and solid lockup on the barrels. The bobtail is the 9mm Bantam, the stainless Carry is in .45acp. The Bantam came with those G10 grips, which I'll keep on there until I order an extended mag release. Not a big fan of thumb scoops but they do work when the release is lower profiled.
The Carry came with black pastic grips which I took off and replaced with the Diamond Wood checkered. The checkering is not as sharp as I'd like it so I'll probably get some different grips for it at some point. I tried a set of faux bone, which I thought I was really going to like with the stainless, but they just don't look as nice with the black controls as I was hoping they would.
I tried fitting a single sided Wilson Combat thumb safety to the Bantam. I got it installed but could not get a positive click going off safety no matter what I tried so I reinstalled the ambi safety, at least for now.
The Bantam has a light alloy frame which should be fine with 9mm. The Carry is all steel, which I really prefer. I carried my Colt today when I went to pick these up and with a good holster the steel Commanders just have a nice weight to them.

I’ve got a set of G10 grips just like those on a CZ/Jericho 941 clone I have. I like them a lot.
The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

Plastic grips gotta go. If they were wood I could recut the checkering and point them up better, maybe with plastic too but who wants plastic grips.
I like that Bantam quite a bit, like both but the lightweight is appealing as well as the looks.

Have you ever met a Bobtail that you didn't like Colonel?
Is Dymond Wood (that's the correct spelling I guess), plastic? I had to use a dremel on it tonight to make the right grip into an ambi and it seemed to be a composite but I'm not sure.
I don't think these are G10 but if I could find a set of G10 that are that black and shiny (and more aggressive), I'd be pleased. Do you remember where you got yours yqtszhj?

Oh, I see, you were referring to the grips on the Bantam. I thought you might be saying you found some deep black G10 grips that look like the Dymondwood grips on the stainless. Darn.
Colonel the Bantam weighs 27.09 ounces empty, and 29.75 with an empty 10rd mag. The mag-less Bantam is almost exactly the same as my Guardian without a mag. The more I fondle the Bantam the more I'm liking it. Something kind of odd is that I picked up two Vickers/Wilson 10rd mags and two Wilson 10rd mags for it. The Vickers mags stick out the bottom of the grip about 1/2" while the two Wilsons only poke out about 1/4". Both have a similar floorplate setup but the Vickers is longer for some reason. Still it will be nice to have a Wilson 10rd in the gun for carry, and a 10rd Vickers spare. I'm hoping to get both to the range next week.
