With no replacement grip handles available from ruger to replace the original broken plastic one, I decided to build a new one from scratch out of aluminum to use any 1911 Colt grips. Having no machining equipment I had to whittle it out using a drill press, band saw, Dremel tool, and disk sander. It holds two emergency rounds of .223. Here is whit I come up with. It is one of my favorite Ruger firearms.
