I have had a pair of his, slim, 1911 grips on my Gold Cup, since Day !, around 2005. Never had any problems with bushings or anything , except gun. Never could figure the luck of seeing them in the States biggest GS and for only $14 or so. RIP Sir.

He was an awesome shooter / competitor and a first class gunsmith /designer / business man.
He was just coming into the competitive world about the time I was starting.
To say I took a back seat to his shooting skills is an understatement, I wasn't even in the same car !!!!!!!
Rest in peace, Chip.
