Pachmayr's American Legend Series offers you the best of both worlds, by combining the feel and appearance of wood with the performance, handling, and control of rubber. The American Legend Series grips feature rich walnut, finished to an attractive varnish shine coupled with their Pachmayr Decelerator rubber for a soft controlled feel. They did this by combining the innovative genius of Pachmayr, the creator of the rubber grip and the craftsmanship of American stockmakers. Together they have created the new American Legend Series. Enhance the look and feel of your grip by adding the American Legend to your Colt 1911.
