Old spoon mag and grips.
Dad has a Colt 1908 Hammerless in .380 and it has custom grips and they are a bit thick. He would like to find some reasonable priced grips with the Colt logo on it. He would also like to find someplace with a magazine in stock. He called Triple K since they had some walnut grips but they told him they weren't sure if they could get any more and the magazine was 3 months out if they can get any more.
Sarco used to carry them but are out. Gunbroker has some but the grips are either $200 + or not very nice. Mags are ridiculous. Sounds like the 1903 and 1908 grips are the same and the .380 mag is interchangeable if it is a later model 1903 mag. He doesn't care for the black plastic grips much. So, any ideas? His current grips are similar to this for reference. ![]()

I've had good luck finding original grips on eBay. You need to be patient, and find one with a decent "Buy it Now" or one nobody else is bidding on, but they do come up.
I found original Colt 1911 Gold Cup National Match grips in like-new condition on eBay for $50. P.S. Re Gunbroker. Unless it's a penny auction...EVERYTHING on Gunbroker is overpriced.

Thanks. We looked on Ebay a bit ago and didn't see anything decent. Those look like exactly what he was looking for.

Do your dad a favor and click the Buy-it-Now. If you don't, somebody else will.
